And I'd still rather be impoverished, because being free is more important than getting things for free.

Hurp derp, I guess there's really no such thing as freedom, so let's all give up on the idea of freedom and do what we're told is best for the group.

That image doesn't say, nor imply, that you should "do what's best for the group".
It's pointing out that most people live their lives in such a way that even though they claim to have freedom, end up going through the same routine everyone does, and not living a fulfilling life.

The only real freedom is death, and you don't get to enjoy it.
So what? I'd rather be poor than in prison. I can eat, but it's shit. I have a roof over my head, but it's little better than sleeping in the street (uncomfortable bed/sheets/pillows and no privacy).
