Constitution Party on Free Trade

	Constitution Party on Free Trade

Multi-national corporations extract tax money as free trade

We reject the trade concept of normal trade relations (Most Favored Nation status), used to curry favor with regimes whose domestic and international policies are abhorrent to decent people everywhere and which are in fundamental conflict with the vital interests of the United States of America. We strongly oppose unconstitutional "Trade Promotion Authority," which transfers the establishment of trade policy from Congress to the Executive branch of government. In the name of free trade, multi-national corporations have been given tax breaks by the U.S. government which are not available to American businesses, and the money extracted from U.S. taxpayers has been used by the government to subsidize exports and encourage businesses to move abroad. Such improprieties must cease. Source: 2012-2016 Constitution Party national platform , Nov 1, 2012

Withdraw from NAFTA, the GATT, and the WTO

We favor the abolition of the Office of Special Trade Representative, and insist on the withdrawal of these US from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and all other agreements wherein agencies other than the Congress of these US improperly assume responsibility for establishing American trade policies.
