True, I thought long about including it in the list. Quality of life is probably higher on average, but in relation to freedom I would say the US comes up on top.

Even with a bad justice system, high property taxes, really bad healthcare, etc.

But from a European perspective, these are slowly becoming problems that a negligible compared to restrictions in Europe. Just an opinion of course.

Regarding which freedom does the US come up on top?

Yes, you have the constitution but the reality in the US is somewhat unconstitutional.

Since only some decades you have the federal reserve setting interest rates as they please (potential killing savings) and your wage (not income) is taxed at source.

This wasn't the case several decades ago.
