2007 Index of Economic Freedom heritage.org The Heritage Foundation has published the 2007 Index of Economic Freedom, measures and ranks 161 countries across 10 specific freedoms, including tax rates and property rights [a description of the 10 freedoms is below the fold]. The 5 Most Free Countries (and their freedom scores) are: 1. Hong Kong (89.3%) 2. Singapore (85.7%) 3. Australia (82.7%) 4. United States (82.0%) 5. New Zealand (81.6%) ... The three highest scores for the U.S. are: * Business Freedom (94.5%) * Labor Freedom (92.1%) * Property Rights (90.0%) The three lowest scores for the U.S. are: * Freedom from Government (67.5%) * Freedom from Corruption (76.0%) * Trade Freedom (76.6%) COLUMN A (without)COLUMN B(counties with universal health care) Hmmm. It looks like freedom and socialism are not closely coordinated. I suspect you would find the freedom from corruption inversely coordinated with Socialized Medicine.
