Doug Truax on Free Trade

Market-based competition instead of bureaucratic decisions

Freedom: With freedom, we can make the choices that benefit our situation as an individual, a family, and a community. Without freedom, our choices are limited by people who have consolidated power around themselves in far off places.

Fairness:With fairness, we know that our effort or lack of effort will be rewarded or discouraged appropriately. Without fairness, the results of our efforts become arbitrary and based on the shifting standards or those that currently hold power.
