Wow, I figured Texas would be higher ranked…I might have to rethink moving there…maybe Tennessee? Texas Asset forfeiture laws are abysmal, a big one for me…& life in prison for weed? Wow! (I don’t do drugs, but wow!)

Counterpoint: when Texas secedes, you’ll already be there!:+1:

Not going to happen. After the next election, the democrats will have no power for the senate or house.

After the next Presidential election, it will be no power at all for them. A lot of their insane policies will be reversed as well.

Then we will hear the left start talking succeed for Kalifornia & NY…

I really admire your optimism.

How come the freedom to get an abortion isn’t included?

Those three states rank high in that.

In jersey, I have to freedom to legally.

  1. Smoke pot
  2. Gamble on sports
  3. Get an abortion

Try that in so called free “Texas”

Freedom is ill defined by this survey.

I knew Pennsyvania would fare well. Being a Commonweath helps put more emphasis on the local governments.

Fiscal policy is the dimension where Pennsylvania has done best. Pennsylvania’s tax burden is about average, but the state is a bit more fiscally decentralized than average, with local governments making up a larger share of the total tax take. The tax burden has declined slightly since 2000. Pennsylvanians have ample choice of local government, with more than 4.9 effective competing jurisdictions per 100 square miles. State and local debt is higher than average, and financial assets are lower, but public employment is much lower than average (9.0 percent of the private workforce), and so is government GDP (7.9 percent of adjusted income).

No need to crow about this…it is a nice little secret.

As a world-renowned expert on the female anatomy with expertise obtained through my intensive two-year research fellowship watching Showtime through the squiggly lines in middle school, I am confident in saying that you lack the necessary reproductive organs for such a procedure.

No wonder they have such fascistic tendencies.

It’s baked into the culture.

  1. Can adults legally smoke pot in all cases.

  2. Can adults gamble legally on sports.

  3. Can you get a legal abortion.

That’s my way of looking at freedom.

Allan

It a choice. I choose not to get one because I don’t need one.

Why would should the govt put restrictions on pre viably abortions?

Isn’t that freedom too.

Or only selected freedoms.

Surprising you are using a group of elite academics to describe “freedom”

Just information.
