Prosperity and Economic Freedom

Always searching for the real thing
Living like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holding the key when you believe it
--Michael McDonald

Rand Paul observes what any individual would conclude who reasons it through. Prosperity is directly associated with economic freedom. Empirical data reflect the logic.

Prosperity is proportional to freedom. Poor people are more than seven times richer in free countries than their counterparts in less free countries. https://t.co/If6h8MQtjg

Freedom is not just a moral or ethical construct of philosophical debate. It is an imperative factor for economic progress.
