Recently, a friend of ours from Arizona phoned about midnight central time to say that he had just watched a Cato Institute program on C-SPAN on why people move to different states. He was fascinated by it.

What we believe he watched was a discussion of Cato’s Freedom Index. In this case, the 50 State Freedom Index that has something like 200 factors within it to determine the amount of freedom a person would have in a given state. The states are ranked by their scores.

That’s a lot of factors to consider, but it gives one much to think about.  What really makes a state an economic and personal success story?

We invite you to check this out on the Cato Institute website and draw your own conclusions.
