That is kind of like saying, "Everyone has freedom of speech, therefore the government should be allowed to publish propaganda."

Nope: the government is not a 'person' in that sense because it has a special role in society, which has been given by society and needs to be controled by society.

The government is not 'one' in 'everyone'.
