According to the State of World Liberty Project, Ireland is more free, over-all, than the United States. Isn’t it ironic that so many of our ancestors came to the United States for a chance to obtain more freedom and opportunity for themselves and their families, and, now, generations later, Ireland has surpassed the United States in its ability to offer liberty and opportunities to its citizens?

For information on the methodology used to generate a global index combining economic freedom and personal freedom, please visit the State of World Liberty Project’s website.

Incidentally, the most free country in the world, according to the State of World Liberty Project is Estonia… a country formerly occupied by the Soviet Union.
