No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers

A global free trade system is a core component of libertarian economic philosophy, which holds that such a system maximizes economic freedom and efficiency, benefits consumers with lower prices and more choices, and promotes peace through interdependence. Libertarians argue that government should not interfere with the free exchange of goods and services across borders.

No

Libertarians advocate for minimal government intervention in the economy, which includes a strong support for free trade. They believe that removing barriers to trade, such as tariffs, promotes economic growth, innovation, and consumer choice. This stance is consistent with the libertarian emphasis on individual freedom and skepticism of government power.

No, this will hurt our manufacturing businesses that rely on importing cheap resources to make their products

This answer aligns with libertarian principles, which support free trade and oppose tariffs that would increase costs for manufacturers and ultimately consumers. Libertarians argue that allowing businesses to source materials from wherever they are cheapest, without government-imposed barriers, leads to more efficient production, lower prices, and greater innovation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarian ideology strongly supports free trade and opposes government intervention in the economy, including tariffs, which are seen as harmful to economic freedom and efficiency. Historically, libertarians have argued against tariffs because they restrict the free flow of goods and services, leading to higher prices for consumers and retaliatory measures from other countries.

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs

While the goal of creating and saving jobs may seem positive, libertarians would argue against using tariffs as a means to achieve this. They believe that such government interventions distort the market, harm consumers through higher prices, and can lead to inefficiencies and job losses in other sectors of the economy. Libertarians favor market-based solutions for job creation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, our country has been on the losing side of trade deals for too long

Libertarians would likely disagree with this rationale for tariffs, as it implies government intervention in trade relations. They argue that even if trade deals seem unfavorable, the solution is not more tariffs but rather negotiating for freer trade or allowing the market to adjust naturally. They believe that free trade benefits all parties in the long run by fostering competition and efficiency.
