I'll take my chances over here.

I'd ask if you are drunk, but look at that flag.
Anyway: Economic freedom =/= freedom

>Go to jail for wrongthink
Not here in Ireland. We have almost no hate crime legislation
>Go to jail for killing violent intruder
Ever heard of self-defence law?
>Splashed with acid
Not here, lad. Only in Britbongistan
>Paternity test is illegal
Source?
>Pay 50% taxes
Motherfucker, our taxes are lower than yours!
>No air conditioning
I don't even know where this one comes from

where would you recommend?

How do they measure this ?
That's quite important.

I mean I know it is about economic freedom, so it will measure the size of government, tax burden, regulations...
I fail to see how a country like sweden would rank heigher than the US

*higher

>Cites Europe as more free than America
>Retracts to Ireland when proven wrong

Great no reason to leave the Ol Country then....Potato Famine scares you doesn't it...kek

No air conditioning comes from bongs posting during the heatwave and /diy/ bong that tries to invent an airconditioner every summer using metal grates and ice cubes

I'm pretty damn amazed that australia is higher on this list than the US let alone the United Kingdom, who the fuck made this list. Find out the organisation and its board of directors then we'll see if their opinion can be trusted.

>Hong Kong is literally a puppet state of China
>ranked #1

Yeah I’m gonna go with shut the fuck up

That chart is such bullshit.
>Hong Kong
All their politicians have to be approved by Beijing.
>Singapore
Their news media is owned by their government.

>UAE freer than european countries
Yeah, this is bullshit.

SAGE!

It's economic freedom, aka low taxes and regulations.

But most of these don't apply to places like Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Greece, Italy or Denmark either

What a hilarious list.

The Heritage Foundation. They publish it annually

I own an AR 15 chambered I’m 5.56 NATO and another chambered in 6.5 Grendel, and I shoot deer in my mom’s backyard.

Because the US government has a surprisingly high interference in the economy, things like subsidising farmers not to grow, car makers with tax breaks etc. Most countries don't do this.

You have to keep up the narrative of the evil and bad euro states. Facts do not matter

How is that relevant to economic freedom?

For all its posturing about the "free market" the US really isn't.

We do, its what happens when you get shitskin at the mcd

So Padapolus?
Nah we just get killed when the cops show up
And worse, like getting run over for riding a bike or rolling coal
Man is always at fault for child not his, paternity be damned
And more!

This. The U.S. has the talkers, but Europe has the people who actually take action.

The U.S. government appears to interfere in the economy because they aren't socialists that own the means of production. Regulating privately owned corporations is very different than a government running a state-run corporation.

You have extremely high taxes (even with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act). You have massive amounts of regulation, you have a trillion dollar deficit, etc

America has very low taxes if you are married with children. That’s the way the system was set up originally and still exists to support married couples with children.

>You have extremely high taxes (even with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act). You have massive amounts of regulation, you have a trillion dollar deficit, etc

Gee, I wonder why? It's not like we have to pay for all of you crossing the border illegally and leeching off our welfare...oh wait, we do. Regulation isn't always a bad thing, and the deficit doesn't actually matter as much as shills say it does. Nice try though.
