The Fraser Institute’s report on economic freedom in the states and provinces previously ranked New Mexico as being freer than West Virginia and several Canadian provinces. Well, the latest version of the report came out this year and the Land of Enchantment is now dead last in the USA and only beat out the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.
This annual report “proves” what its authors want it to prove. Those who already believe what it concludes will be the only once convinced by it.
“once” should be “ones”
Micheal, tell us why you don’t believe what it is saying. It seems pretty coincidental that we are the poorest and the least free state at the same time.
So, is New Mexico economically-free? Is the report missing something specific? Do they have it out for New Mexico?
