Freedom is the range of your freewill. If we have less freedom we have less freewill. Money, physical appearance, upbringing...every factor controls you. Yes we can make choices...but our choices only reflect the lives we've led thus far.

You have as much freewill as you give yourself.

You have as much free will as you wish. However, there are consequences for abusing that gift.
If you choose to drive at 100 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, you may die or get arrested.
If you choose to devote your life to the benefit of others, you might get a Nobel Prize like Mother Teresa.

You are confusing free will with free action. Free action is certainly false (for just the kinds of reasons you give above), but I at least appear to be free to wish that were not the case. So my will seems free. That may not be the case, but either way it changes nothing.

The free will that God has given us is the same for everyone. God given free will is the choice between good and evil. You get into the government and that is a different can of worms.

some people will always be limited, so yes there is a range of freewill

Perhaps I am going to 'split a hair' here; but we have the same amount of free will as anyone else does; the difference comes from how much of it we utilize.

No. Some people use their free will with good judgement, where as others make bad decisions and choose evil over good.

I had the opportunity to choose alcohol and other drugs. I chose not to use them. I had the opportunity to be promiscuous. I did not want that route. I had the opportunity to be cruel and treat others with hatred and ignorance. I chose love and compassion.
