Where are you with personal and economic Freedom

Tweet

Many people think that in the US we all enjoy the same degree of freedom. There is an interesting study out that looks at Personal and Economic Freedoms state by state. The study was published through George Mason University. http://mercatus.org/uploadedFiles/Mercatus/Publications/Freedom%20in%20the%2050%20States.pdf It looks at several different freedom factors and comes up with an overall freedom number. Most of the restrictions on freedoms are a result of government regulation and laws. I was surprised to see my state Wisconsin ranked so low, but when you consider a limit on your freedom as taxes I can see why. how does your state rank and how do you feel about it?
