America is #3. The Economic Freedom of the World: 2003 Annual Report is out today.

Meanwhile, here are some familiar laggards: Germany, 20; Japan, 26; Italy, 35; France, 44; Mexico, 69; India, 73; and Brazil, 82.

And the bottom five? Guinea-Bissau, Algeria, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Myanmar.

Do the math. Free economy = wealth and prosperity. Unfree economy = poverty and more poverty.

When will Democrats and Socialists -- and Republicans -- learn basic math?
