The entire study on Freedom index by state:

and the summary of Illinois:

Cool isn't it? As of last year Income tax went up from 3-5% for individuals and corporate doubled. Don't know if their rankings reflect this.
Also, the one thing that saved us from being worst in personal freedoms, homeschooling, is beginning to be regulated more by the state.

But hey, if you are in a gang, part of OWS, a sexual deviant in the woods, or just want to break laws, this seems to be the freest state...

Thanks to the Bush tax cuts getting extended I didn't have to pay even more taxes last year. As a small business owner its getting harder and harder to live the American dream.
