You idiot, that's #47 ALPHABETICALLY of the best 48 countries lol...That is communism, brain washed shyttehead. See what a quagmire this is? ACTUALLY, even the GOP is socialist, just a lying thieving one.If the Democrats had their way, Cuba is exactly what we would become.
According to both Castro Brothers they are Socialists.
There's a big difference between a socialist state and a social democracy. Big one...
One controls the production of goods, while the other is a hybrid that is elected by the people.
The bigger a government gets the less freedoms the people have.
I don't like being 47th out of 48 of free world countries.
While Canada is number 7.

According to the Index of Economic Freedom, which is produced by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal, the United States just barely makes it in the top ten, ranked at number nine in the world.
According to Deroy Murdock, "Among the 179 countries examined in the Index, Hong Kong is ranked first, followed by Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Ireland, and Denmark. These nations all outscored the U.S. across ten categories, including taxes, free trade, regulation, monetary policy, and corruption.
"America barely made the top ten. Bahrain was tenth, with 77.7 points, one decimal point behind America's 77.8 score. Chile reached No. 11 with 77.4, just 0.4 points behind the United States.
"Even worse, with a score below 80, the U.S. is spending its second year as a 'mostly free' economy. As it departed the family of 'free' nations in 2010, it led the 'mostly free' category. Even within this less-than-illustrious group, America now lags behind Ireland and Denmark."
