Blechman, however, would like the GOVERNMENT to DENY people (those over age 55) the right to choose the covenants they wish, and instead FORCE them to accept the covenants it desires to IMPOSE upon them. The only senior-restricted communities he supports are assisted living centers. Places like TV, Sun City, etc. would be OUTLAWED in Blechman's ideal world.
I am sorry you are unhappy with the requirements of TV, either in theory or in practice. Given the current economy I understand that, if you are an unhappy TV resident, you may be unable to sell your residence without taking an unsustainable loss. I hope that the economy improves to where you can sell and move to a place more to your liking. Maybe Blechman can give you some assistance.

The key difference is that with government each individual has the ability to effect change ... your vote can and does count. Here in bubble world your daily life is controlled by the Morse family in perpetuate and you have little to no ability to effect change.
If you choose to live under those conditions ... so be it, go for it. But IMO if you think that you are freer by choosing to be regulated ... you are delusional.
as for the rest of your political analysis ... it is full of the typical rightwing strawman & red herring arguments.
