I'm baaaack.
Yes, I am posting something, again, after a hiatus for, what, forever?
Well, this time I made some data myself. I plotted economic freedom of the 50 states (not including the District of Columbia) using the Fraser Institutes Economic Freedom of North America of 2012 report.
See: http://www.fraserinstitute.org/research-news/display.aspx?id=19011
For poverty measurements, I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_poverty_rate
I will soon update the freedom data from another source, as well as alternative poverty data (do I don't have to deal with the wikipedia is unreliable claims).
But here is the graph.
Ah, we see with more economic freedom (1-10 scale, with graph fitted 8 is about the highest any state got), we see that there is, on balance, less poverty.
Show this to your liberal friends!
