Country B is more free.
You don't HAVE to purchase things with a credit card. You don't HAVE to surf the internet leaving cookies everywhere. You don't HAVE to do buisness with companies that sell your info to the highest bidder. In Country A, you HAVE to pay higher taxes and buiseness HAVE to deal with strict govt interference. You are more free, by far, in country B.
You don't HAVE to... if you're fine with living in a cave.
Given how much of my time is already taken up by answering the phone only to find a telemarketer on the other end, I shudder to think of what country B would be like.
Damn, they gotta get Caller ID up to Canada
