Where does Wisconsin fit in?

Not only is there an economic boom nationwide, but for states that chose to institute 'Free Market' friendly policies, the boom has been magnified.

Voters will elect governors in 36 states this year. And as they decide who to send to the governor's mansion, they will also be shaping the economic future of their state. On taxes, the gubernatorial candidates fall into one of two camps. Either they believe that the best way to close a budget gap is to raise taxes. Or, like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush have done from the Oval Office, they believe in raising revenue by growing the state's economy with tax cuts.

The Pacific Research Institute who publishes the "U.S. Economic Freedom Index", an index tied to the friendliness toward free enterprise and consumer choice; has as it's latest report shows, shown that the states that advocate for 'Free Markets' are heads and tails better than the rest.

In 2005, per capita personal income grew 31% faster in the 15 most economically free states than it did in the 15 states at the bottom of the list. And employment growth was a staggering 216% higher in the most free states. It hasn't been a "jobless recovery" in states that have adopted pro-growth tax and regulatory policies.
