FEDERALISM
- THE POWER OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE DIMINISHED.
A LARGE BUREAUCRACY IS AN INEFFICENT MEANS TO ADDRESS SOCIETAL
PROBLEMS. MOST ISSUES ARE BEST DEALT WITH ON THE STATE AND LOCAL
LEVEL.
MARKET SYSTEM
- ATTEMPTS BY THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL PRICES, WAGES, OR TO
REGULATE BUSINESS OPERATIONS ARE WRONG. THE ECONOMY WORKS BEST
WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREE (LAISSEZ-FAIRE) OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
- THE FORCES OF THE MARKET CAN BE TRUSTED TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF BUSINESS, CONSUMERS, AND WORKERS.
- GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SHOULD NOT COMPETE WITH PRIVATE INDUSTRY.
SCOPE OF THE GOVERNMENT
- GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE DOWNSIZED.
- LARGE GOVERNMENTS, BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE, HAVE THE POWER
TO CONTROL BUSINESS INTERESTS AND THEREFORE POTENTIALLY INFRINGE
ON THE FREEDOMS OF INDIVIDUALS.
- GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TEND TO PROVIDE UNNECESSARY SERVICES
THAT GO BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE CONSITUTION.

ECONOMIC RIGHTS

AND BUSNESS EXECUTIVES. OTHERS CHOOSE LESS PROFITABLE CAREERS.
INCOME DISPARITY IS A RESULT OF POOR CHOICES.
- THOSE WHO ARE PROSPEROUS SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED BY BEING
FORCED TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE MADE POOR DECISIONS.

PROFIT
- THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM IS PASSIONATE ABOUT
THE RIGHT OF BUSINESS INTERESTS TO MAKE AS MUCH PROFIT AS THEY
POSSIBLY CAN.
- PROFITS REPRESENT AN INCENTIVE TO WORK HARD. IT IS REWARD
FOR HARD WORK AND SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED BY TAXING IT.

STATUS QUO
- PREFERRED VALUES (FAMILY, FAITH, PATRIOTISM AND LOVE OF FAMILY)
AND BELIEFS ARE SEEN AS ORIGINATING IN THE PAST AND ARE PRIMARILY
ROOTED IN CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS AND PRACTICES.
-
- THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT ACT AS A CATALYST FOR SOCIETAL
CHANGE.

REGULATION OF BUSINESS
- BUSINESS MUST BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE FREE OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
THE MARKET PLACE (SUPPLY AND DEMAND) WILL GUIDE.
- GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF WORKING CONDITIONS OR POLICIES THAT
AFFECT PRODUCTS ARE, IN MANY INSTANCES,UNACCEPTABLE. CONSUMERS
SHOULD PUNISH BUSINESSES WHO ARE DESTRCUTIVE BY NOT DEMANDING
PRODUCTS.
- TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS IS THE WAY TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY
- "THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA IS BUSINESS."

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
- THE GOVERNMENTS PRIMARY ROLE IS TO PROTECT U.S. BUSINESS
AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
- OUR COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE IN ORDER BEFORE WE LOOK ELSEWHERE.
- THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE. A PREPARED AND FORTIFIED
MILITARY IS ESSENTIAL.
