In the wake of the abandonment of basic conservative economic principles, I am working on establishing 10 just government economic principles that all conservatives can hold to and point to when deciding economic policies. As you can see they are still a work in progress and I hope to get your comments and suggestions.
- Government has the power and right to tax its citizens.
- Taxes must not be punitive; fines may be used as punishment.
- Tariffs and trade barriers should only be used as a diplomatic and national security solution with the knowledge that all trade barriers hurt both countries involved.
- All government ownership of property must be related to the securing inalienable including and never economic organization.
- Government can pay to use the services of individuals and business related to securing inalienable rights, but never make direct payments to individuals or companies to redistribute property.
- Government sets and enforces standards such as measurements money, etc.
- Government enforces contracts made between two individuals.
- Property includes intellectual property and the rights to inventions. Government can issue patents for limited time to protect these rights and promote innovation.
