When that asshole Obama took office the US was ranked 5th. Now it is 11th thanks to the shithead Libtards in this country.
Hell yeah! Shitheads indeed.
**** the Koch's Heritage rankings. They themselves say the lower ranking is due to the wars on terrorism and drugs. The usual RW pile of crap.
No you are confused.
You being the uneducated low information Moon Bat did not look at the criteria for the ranking for economic freedom, did you? You always get it wrong, don't you? Typical for a Left Wing idiot.
You Libtards hate the concept of Liberty and because there are so many of you filthy greedy bastards in this country that is why this county is so fucked up.
2016 Index of Economic Freedom | The Heritage Foundation
Economic freedom is the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please. In economically free societies, governments allow labor, capital, and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself.
We measure economic freedom based on 10 quantitative and qualitative factors, grouped into four broad categories, or pillars, of economic freedom:
- Rule of Law (property rights, freedom from corruption);
- Limited Government (fiscal freedom, government spending);
- Regulatory Efficiency (business freedom, labor freedom, monetary freedom); and
- Open Markets (trade freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom).
