You're attempt to present a case as to why the Index of Economic Freedom isn't one of the most valuable works of modern political science has failed miserably by attempting to deflect attention to my personality, a
totally irrelevant concept to this topic, and the sign of a losing argument. Its fine if you have a problem with fact-based comparisons of countries based on objective metrics, but that is how society moves forward.
Anyone with a lot of knowledge and common sense can see that more free countries and successful tend to the top while less free and successful countries tend to the bottom. Can you see that?
