Fellow Stone Creek Republicans.
Welcome to a short seven-part series titled: Seven Core Principles of Conservatism. 
Number Six. 
Free Markets.
Government often stands as the greatest obstacle to the progress and
prosperity of free people. Free markets and free trade agreements allow
for innovation, improvement and economic expansion as risk-takers,
entrepreneurs and business owners are given the liberty to pursue the
American dream and create more jobs and upward mobility for more
people. We believe competition should be encouraged, and government
intervention and regulation should be limited. The people are better
qualified to make decisions about their own lives and finances than
bureaucrats, and the private sector will outperform the public sector in
virtually every scenario. The free enterprise system rewards hard work
and self-sacrifice, and is the basis and genius of the American economy.
