America is not the land of the free. What a stupid assertion.

American democracy is the not as representative as democracy in Europe or other parts of the Western world. Only two parties to choose from for example.

The American media is also ranked behind many other countries as being objective and accurate.

American society is not as racially tolerant as society in Europe or other parts of the Western world either.

Even on the basis that America is a free market society it is not the most free

Country rankings for trade, business, fiscal, monetary, financial, labor and investment freedoms

Ranking of economic freedom

1-Hong Kong
2-Singapore
3-Australia
4-Ireland
5-New Zealand
6-United States of America
