USA - Ranks 17th place on Freedom Index


"Are you living in the freest country? Not if you live in the United States.

The new "Human Freedom Index" by the Fraser and Cato Institutes ranks countries by both economic freedom–like freedom to trade, amount of regulations, and tax levels–and personal freedom–such as women's rights and religious freedom.
America rose seven spots in the latest report, to number 17. But it's still far from where it once was."
-John Stossel
