George Mason University ranked the states according to economic and personal freedoms. I thought this was very interesting. As I suspected, my beloved Garden State finished #49.

New Jersey is a highly regulated state all around, near the bottom in both personal and economic freedom, and it deteriorated further in 20072008. Taxes are high, and spending is about average. Spending on education is particularly high. Property taxes are among the highest in the country, and individual income taxes are also high. Gun control is extensive and worsening.
