Freedom, broadly speaking, is the ability to direct the course of your life without interference. In public policy, this typically means being free from burdens placed on us by governments, such as high taxes, regulations, wasteful government spending and debt, and restrictions on what we can buy or sell. And it’s not just about economic freedom, but personal freedom — such as how well the government respects our rights in the criminal justice system and the ability for parents to choose a school of their choice.
These dynamics are not easy to measure, but the report “Freedom in the 50 States” attempts to do just that in a careful and fair way. It makes use of 230 different state and local policies to generate overall state rankings in freedom.
From taxes to guns to housing to health — join us at this event to learn about the areas Michigan ranks well in and those it needs to improve. We will hear state specific findings, recommendations on reforms and celebrate victories.
