“Live Free Or Move”

A Christmas Day message:  economic freedom means economic growth.   Not really a new message, but a message to which liberals are deaf.

From the Wall Street Journal [1]:

In 2005, per capita personal income grew 31% faster in the 15 most economically free states than it did in the 15 states at the bottom of the list. And employment growth was a staggering 216% higher in the most free states. It hasn’t been a “jobless recovery” in states that have adopted pro-growth tax and regulatory policies.

Will Franklin, WILLisms,com [2] has the details, and loads of graphics on how, “Economic Freedom Produces Better Economic Outcomes [3].”

In a society where packing up and moving to another state is not all that unusual, Americans are taking advantage, moving to economically free states from relatively oppressive states. People are voting with their feet.

“Live free or move” indeed.
