- Value [1] Individual Liberty
- Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government. It is essential to the practice
of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political expression and free from excessive control
over our economic choices.
- Value [2] Limited Government
- The purpose of our government is to exercise only those limited powers that have been relinquished to it by the people, chief
among these being the protection of our liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising inside
or outside our country’s sovereign borders. When our government ventures beyond these functions and attempts to increase its
power over the marketplace and the economic decisions of individuals, our liberties are diminished and the probability of
corruption, internal strife, economic depression, and poverty increases.
- Value [3] Economic Freedom
- The most powerful, proven instrument of material and social progress is the free market. The market economy, driven by the
accumulated expressions of individual economic choices, is the only economic system that preserves and enhances individual
liberty. Any other economic system, regardless of its intended pragmatic benefits, undermines our fundamental rights as free
people.
