By their ranking, New York is the least free state in the nation, and its fiscal policy is mostly to blame. The authors write, "New York's local tax burden is twice that of the average state [and] debt is the highest in the country."
The other states rounding out the bottom five include California, Hawaii, New Jersey and Maryland.
South Dakota, Indiana, Oklahoma, Alaska and New Hampshire are considered the most free states in the country.
