Ron Paul is a proponent of free trade and rejects protectionism, advocating “conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.” He opposes many free trade agreements (FTAs), like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), stating that “free-trade agreements are really managed trade” and serve special interests and big business, not citizens.
He voted against the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), holding that it increased the size of government, eroded U.S. sovereignty, and was unconstitutional. He has also voted against the Australia–U.S. FTA, the U.S.–Singapore FTA, and the U.S.–Chile FTA, and voted to withdraw from the WTO. He believes that “fast track” powers, given by Congress to the President to devise and negotiate FTAs on the country’s behalf, are unconstitutional, and that Congress, rather than the executive branch, should construct FTAs.
Buy American, Unless… (February 12, 2001)
Members of Congress often encourage us to “buy American” during their speeches on the House floor. Some members regularly place a “buy American” clause in various trade-related bills, seeking to protect domestic jobs by encouraging the purchase of American goods. Ironically, however, many of these same legislators vote to prohibit American companies from gaining access to new markets overseas. They do so by supporting our senseless embargo policies, which simply help our foreign trading competitors at the expense of American companies.
Of course most politicians claim that they support free trade. Intuitively, most Americans understand that access to foreign markets provides significant benefits to US citizens and American-based corporations. However, we continue to pursue a policy of denying or restricting domestic companies from selling to Cuba, Iraq, Iran, China, and other countries. This inconsistency is especially evident when we consider “export financing,” which really is foreign aid designed to help other countries buy American goods. Most Washington politicians support the practice of export financing, arguing that access to foreign markets benefits American companies, and not just foreign consumers. However, the opposite argument is made with regard to our embargo policies. Suddenly, increased trade with countries some want to label as unworthy only benefits sinister foreign consumers, and not domestic producers. This nonsensical position is maintained by many in government who favor government-managed trade which benefits certain chosen special interests.
Conflicting and inconsistent views on trade policy result largely from a lack of understanding of basic economic principles. Free trade is not a zero-sum game where some countries benefit and others inevitably suffer. On the contrary, true free trade by definition benefits both parties. Free trade is the process of free people engaging in market activity without government interference such as tariffs or managed-trade agreements. In a true free market, individuals and companies do business voluntarily, which means they believe they will be better off as a result of a transaction. Tariffs, taxes, and duties upset the balance, because governments add costs to the calculation which make doing business less attractive. Similarly, so-called managed trade agreements like WTO favor certain business interests and trading nations over others, which reduces the mutual benefit inherent in true free trade.
Free Trade With All, Entangling Alliances With None (September 21, 2001)
Free trade with all and entangling alliances with none has always been the best policy in dealing with other countries on the world stage. This is the policy of friendship, freedom and non-interventionism and yet people wrongly attack this philosophy as isolationist. Nothing could be further from the truth. Isolationism is putting up protectionist trade barriers, starting trade wars imposing provocative sanctions and one day finding out we have no one left to buy our products. Isolationism is arming both sides of a conflict, only to discover that you’ve made two enemies instead of keeping two friends. Isolationism is trying to police the world but creating more resentment than gratitude. Isolationism is not understanding economics, or other cultures, but clumsily intervening anyway and creating major disasters out of minor problems.
Free trade makes sense (June 7, 1999)
[...] if someone says they are for “free trade,” one must look carefully what they really mean, for the classic (and common sense) definition does not apply.
All to often in Washington, free trade is used when one really means “subsidized trade,” or, tax dollars being funneled to foreign governments to buy American products. Similarly, the phrase can mean to use tax dollars to bail-out American firms for risky overseas ventures, or managed trade by the World Trade Organization to serve powerful special interests.
On the other hand, those of us who oppose using the taxes of American citizens to prop-up foreign governments or American corporations are derisively called “isolationists.” There are indeed some people who are isolationists. They call themselves “fair traders,” though. Exactly what this means is open to debate. All too often it involves letting the government determine what is and is not “fair” in the private trading between individuals who live in different countries.
Sadly, these definitions all hinge on the assumption that there are essentially only two options: tax dollars being used to subsidize corporations/foreign governments, or no trade whatsoever without the rubber stamp of government bureaucrats and special interest groups.
The bottom-line of both options, of course, is higher taxes for Americans. Higher taxes to finance the subsidies, or higher taxes on incoming products (and make no mistake, a tariff is a tax, paid by the American consumer).
There is another way. Free trade and free markets are, without a doubt, the best guarantor of peace. But this requires something all too few in Washington want: less government intervention.
It is indisputable that individuals know better how to provide for their families than government. It is also indisputable that a company is better equipped to know what its market will tolerate than a bureaucrat in Washington. In this way, a person is able to determine what goods best meet their individual needs, weighing numerous factors in their decision. But when government intervenes, it no longer becomes possible for an individual to provide for their family and business in the most expedient fashion. This is the antithesis of liberty.
The World Trade Organization (March 20, 2000)
The economic argument for free trade should be no more complex than the moral argument. Tariffs are taxes that penalize those who buy foreign goods. If taxes are low on imported goods, consumers benefit by being able to buy at the best price, thus saving money to buy additional goods and raise their standard of living. The competition stimulates domestic efforts and hopefully serves as an incentive to get onerous taxes and regulations reduced.
If one truly believes in free trade, one never argues a need for reciprocity or bureaucratic management of trade. If free trade is truly beneficial, as so many claim, unilateral free trade is an end in itself and requires neither treaties nor international management by politicians and bureaucrats. A country should promote free trade in its own self-interest — never for the benefit of someone else.
Those not completely convinced of the benefits of free trade acknowledge a “cost” of lower tariffs for which they demand compensation and fair management. Thus, we have the creation of the WTO. By endorsing the concept of managed world trade through the World Trade Organization, proponents acknowledge that they actually believe in order for free trade to be an economic positive, it requires compensation or a “deal.”
The only individuals afraid of this concept of free trade are the big money makers, bureaucracies and corporations that ship most American jobs over seas, inport their products, and profit billions of dollars from the U.S. taxpayers and consumers. Making the argument that we will fall to other countries trade or business is absolutely absurd.
Why not have American companies and small businesses compete for the same. Free market gives opportunites to average Americans and will introduce products and services from the American people to the American people.
I’m so sick of hearing this fallacy argument that free trade will be a disaster for Americans. Research free market societies.

After 2 Years, Here’s Your Change…
~$ A Democracy Based on Money Is No Democracy At ALL $~
Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history.. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane. 27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH!

You will have to go to the site to see the table of deflation, it won’t copy a comparison sheet on this site……….
And now with the Republicans working as CEO”s of our states, and helping the Corporations,reduce their corporate tax from 26% with perks down to 6% and making the seniors and poor make up the difference.
by taxing our retirements and reducing wages even more and our healthcare out of existence! No, neither party will be
able or is capable of getting this country back on line ,after giving all of our states GDP to the Military Complex and
to the Rothchilds central banks of London……..nope . they have robbed , continue to rob us .
Sucking every dime out of our wages , need for food and travel to work and back or pleasure……they want the money for their lives, not for us now or our kids or their kid’s even…..
The bail-outs were to be given to bail us out , not to create debt, and bail out foreign banks! Ben Benacke bailed out the Libyan central bank a few weeks before the war started there, they got $26 billion. Then after the war and at the Commission meeting the Assistant Sec. of State says when asked , why can’t we use the $30 billion the USA froze on Libya to pay for the war…….the Assistant says, because when that war is over and Gaddafi is gone that is the people’s money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Money we gave short of $4 billion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not one on that committee , knew what the Federal Reserve is doing or has done, I read it in a News article posted…..
Government can’t give us fee health care , but they sure let Bernanke pass out dollars bills to any bank in the world…….It isn’t our debt on our own money I”ll tell yah that……that debt should be on the backs of congress and the senators salaries for doing it and on Wall Streets backs not ours……..
We were tricked…….and its nothing new under the Sun……..
This we are all realizing is what our Federal governments
have done for centuries with our money…….
In 2008 they wanted it all $$$$$$$$ and complete control , that is all, it is…..
They needed to get it on the books is all…….confiscate it and do it quickly as possible so the people wouldn’t reap,any benefits that the 70 million seniors who paid into for the past 50yrs , could not get THEIR hands on what belongs
to us……..
We worked hard for and they wanted it alllllll….and had been robbing Social Security since its inception, and didn’t tell us…….
..I still think that is the money they used to keep the Budget balanced, and not increase taxes for the rich or working class. for years…when the wars started they could reap those monies from Wall Street…
While using IOU’s from Social Security Trust fund to pay for government wages……..to run the gov. with….
That is my opinion, and conclusion…….and I don’t like it if that is what they have done dishonestly with the American taxpayers, monies. But what can we do about it? I think Ron Paul should start a 2nd republic in the USA and let the bankrupt one find a way to fix their messes…….
Then they also compounded the problem by not forcing or enforcing the illegals to pay into SS , Medicare and income
taxes……..and allowing them free housing , free food and free healthcare exempting them from disclosing their,citizenship, that they were not of the USA..when they apply at a Family Services Center for our benefits….
50 million people not paying into the system , and 4%of the top income earners
not paying into the system., due to perks and exemptions, the working class doesn’t get it! And when they reduce our wages, they are also reducing their taxes ! How stupid can you get!
……and there you have it………now with 70 million, non- working Senior Citizens not paying into the,system.anymore, they did their duty……..it leaves very few able to pay for the debt, Mr. Benacke created.
50% of the working class are,
employed by one government or another….state , fed, city……how many children in the USA? who of course don’t work, but need to go to school , and the public schools are funded by property taxes or lottery (Michian), and with 15 million homes foreclosed , no one is paying property taxes to fund the schools………!
If there is someone out there who can add this up of the unemployed due to layoffs, age or not counted e.g . illegal. And then how many multimillionaires billionaires not paying very much taxes, and how many ill from the war, how much does the health care cost for veterans in this nation a year…..and from DU radiation illnesses……how many with health problems in the Gulf……….Why this government really did a job ……..and the Ironic part of this , USA /UN won’t let Iran have Nuclear Power Plants………and so they are the only nation that will not be affected if the multiple countries have earthquakes , and their nuclear plants start exploding.
Plus the Atomic bomb testings is what the EPA worker said has caused the Hole in the Ozone…….depleting our plant of O-3…Shit will be all lucky to be able to breathe on this planet ,with all of the pollution in our atmosphere….
When did we see that our government is and has been very incompetent?
Notice , these committee’s are not to ask us what we are concerned about….but what fellow government oversights think , or what corporations and banks CEO’s want Congress and the Senate to pass for them and their company polices……for Money……
Never about the people…….I am truly getting sink of watching those two powers yes be accountable in the end, they are padding their own pockets.

Free trade
Free markets create monopolies
Millions out of work that will be replaced with cheaper labor
Try to imagine a person holding a gun to someone’s head!
Here is something to think about when looking at free trade.
Ever wonder why an economic model supposed to make societies prosperous.
So let us look into some facts that have hit close to home and still stand. In the past 16 years of the (NAFTA) North American Free Trade Agreement, what did it bring to the US, Canada and Mexico. Well in good old Canada some 10,000 companies were taken over by foreigners in the first 8 years. Then in the US, net manufacturing employment drop by some nearly 6 million. It destroyed the Mexican farms and their food self-sufficiency. All this led to the rise of monopolies and they acted against the producer and consumers interests oh wait they still due.
Now got to ask the question if said free trade is good or that to benefit all countries, then why is it spreading poverty in most of these countries. Then how can this free trade be the way for economic success. Then why is it that today’s rich countries have never historically practiced this? U.S. tariffs remained high throughout America’s industrialization. For as the British, advocates of open markets and they lowered tariffs in the mid-19th century. Yeah only after its industries had firmly established their lead over foreign rivals. That’s a thought for the mind to think about!
Protectionism- the theory, practice, or system of fostering or developing domestic industries by protecting them from foreign competition through duties or quotas imposed on importations.
Or any program, policy, or system of laws that seeks to provide protection for property owners, wildlife, the environment, etc.
It was protectionism that allowed Japan and Korea to grow, not that of free trade. So in other words beyond all this talk of free trade and its theory it’s historically being proven wrong. So when nations are forced into the free trade movement by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the World Bank. This has the local industries wiped out by their more powerful foreign competitors. And what is to come from all this many things and they are not good. The wage of collapse, to where the Middle Class becomes the Working Poor. Rural societies are destroyed and at the same time we will see the growth of vast urban concentrations. To where we see, uproot of farmers into slums, families shattered, and cultural traditions become erased. Along with corruption in government that will beyond any recovery. Free Trade does not profit to the ones it is supposed to, then who. Who is getting stronger because of all this, the largest corporations? These corporations are the ones who are merging their interests with the institution of government. How are they doing this easy by the help of World Bank, IMF and yes the WTO? (Hey quick question who is head of the World Bank again.)
So how did the Free Trade end up going against becoming the opposite of what it was intended to do? Because with everything said it’s not free that’s right NOT Free Trade. It’s nothing more than an economic theory, reality says and tells was that it is nothing more than that of trade agreements. Said Trade agreements will mean more power to the global corporations, allowing them to move goods and investments to anywhere they wish, and this will allow them to be free from any accountability and the public interference.
To look at this in some light the reality of all this is near universality of protectionism and entitlements.
Protectionism of the good old sweetheart deals, as a partnership, subsidies and tax breaks. Basically it’s to protect the big corporation at the expense of the others. Did you know that the NAFTA has hundreds of rules those favorite mega corporations? I’m not going into these I will let Ron or Ran Paul put these out to the public so that we can see them.
Or you can just research it more for yourself.
“The myth of Free Trade: The Pooring of America”
“Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism”
Trade agreements will mean more power to the global corporations, allowing them to move goods and investments to anywhere they wish, and this will allow them to be free from any accountability and the public interference.
So now what from here on out let us demand from our elected seat holders that they educated us on things like this, and not just what they want us to know but everything that deals with such topic be it good or bad.
Know the dream that is being sold to us. Where we live in an interconnected world, no borders, no boundaries, (this is close to a solider with no government) and where trade and cultural interaction flow freely. Peace to the world with its new found harmony. Sounds good yeah LOL! Um just for those who know the real world and live in and for those whom are at a lost here wake up. Look at outside your window and take a real good look at the world. Know this humanity is not coming together nor will it. We are being torn from anything and everything from ethnics and religious lines. Because of this reality the horizon to peace is nowhere near nor will it come to be. Why do I say this, know this and how we as a people are. We as a people are tribal and we think in such ways, its fact not to be put under the rug this will only make things worse. We think of things in the tribal aspect in the areas of blood, soil and creed to where we will die for and kill for without question without remorse. Our culture and faith are the two true universal forces in this world. Not that of ideas of democracy or capitalism.
Educate yourself.
People shall not fear their government, government should fear the people.
We the people by the people for the people.

An equal free trade makes sense for competitive reasons. Since debt with interest is impossible to pay off in the U.S. because of the nature of our monetary system, the more currency that goes away overseas that does not come back only increases the level of defaults on loans for businesses, individuals, and possibly the government if it cannot take sufficient taxes. Every dollar that goes overseas has to come back plus more into our current system, or the system will collapse.
In a different economic system with stable money that did not inflate and governments have close to the same business laws (or lack of) I can see free trade functioning for the general good.

Ron Paul is for the “unilateral elimination of tariffs” from the US market place. That’s the economic equivalent of unilaterally disarming our military. In fact, it would probably bring about the unilateral disarming of our military because we’d be so damn broke we wouldn’t be able to afford a military anymore. It’s economic suicide. It would completely annihilate our middle class.
Of course, you used to be able to read all about Ron Paul’s position on “free trade” here, but somehow is site was mysteriously reorganized and all of the “free trade” titles went here, except now not a single link actually finds an article. Someone who didn’t believe that our government was responsible for 9/11 might rate the benefit of the doubt, but that wouldn’t be Ron Paul.

Above Sen. Paul advocates removing tarrifs, trade barriers and managed trading (ie. the WTO and trade agreements). If things play out like he says, I think it’s a great idea. Markets would be more competitve and consumers would probably see lower prices to do more fair competition among domestic based companies and foreign based companies. However, on the Taxes page Sen. Paul says he is in favor of eliminating the income tax (again, great idea) and in favor of generating government revenue on corporate taxes, excise taxes and “non-protectionist tariffs.” I thought advocating “non-protectionist tariffs” conflicted with his statements here. So, I tried to find a definition of a ” non-protectionist tariff” but could not find anything other than howw Sen. Paul used the term. Does anyone know what a “non-protectionist tariff” is? (It sounds like an oximoron on the surface since tarrifs are protectionist). Wouldn’t this confict with his views on how government should generate tax revenue?

I noticed this inconsistency too. I bothers me a little bit. I think when it comes down to it, he opposes both the income tax and the tariff and would do away with both if he could, but he sees the tariff as the lesser of two evils.

May be instead of free trade we should have a “free conscious trade” or “free traceable trade”, like the end product isn’t only what matter but also how it was made matters.
I can see the free market being more transparent and honest, like this product has been made by children from china or this product is made from people that have no protection while manipulating dangerous substance and might died early on, this product is made by Texan and respect the following criteria. I mean free market can do what it needs to do if the information is there for people to take an inform and conscious decision, otherwise with hidden information this is not really a free trade but just lies and manipulation.
It seems there is a need for more traceability and more openness

Too many jobs went and are still going to China because a lot of companies didn’t invest in automatism but took the shortest simplest route to China/India (few companies did invest in automatism and are still able to compete)
What is your position on this?
Should we tax Chinese companies that do not compete on the same level as our american companies? ( by same level I mean taht do not respect pollution, not same human right, recognition and min salary, protection if employee work with dangerous substance etc..)
This is interesting because we do not allow such behavior in the US and by our american companies but we all accept to buy products made from countries like China that use such a behavior….
Or should we wait and let the market take care of it, meaning wait that china become more powerful and so their cost will also increase but I’m afraid ours will be so low.
What scare’s me is too see 1) everything is from China now days and 2) slowly the research and market are following the production and also going to china, which means investment are also going over there, and as we say, where the production is the money is, without prod there is nothing, 3) more and more new Chinese brand are appearing in Europe and the US
As a friend always says, “The Chinese economy’s best friend is the American and European government”.
Over the summer I went the the D-Day beaches in France and I heard someone saying to someone else, “I hope there will be no more war like this” and the guide replied “there is a big one but it is economical, this is just that we do not see it physically yet”
I guess in few words my question is: I agree with free trade but I’m wondering if this is normal to accept to trade with companies outside of the US that are not respecting certain production rules, shouldn’t they be tax and so give a chance to American companies that must go with those rules. At the end are we really proud to not make nike’s in the US and buy then $60 to $100 because they are made by kids in China or india? Is it free trade? should we have free and equitable trade?
Thanks for your help and guidance.

Free trade is an inevitable race to the bottom. It is just the reinvention of slavery. But there isn’t any stopping it now. Protecting property rights with the tip of the Government Gun leads the landless faced with the choice of starvation or surfdom. Ron Paul is against the minimum wage.
The reason The US of A became great, was because of organized labor. Every country has resources, and entrepreneurs. But only the West did well for its people because of this ingredient. A few interlocking board of trustees is no different than a polit bureau. A handfull of people dictating how resources are used alway leads to disaster. When more people have a fair piece of the pie, more ideas can be persude, tested, brought to life. The economy grows. Well paid employees are good for an economy. But greedy capitalists don’t understand this.
And Libertarians don’t get it either. Capitalism DOES have an FLAW. Will Ron Paul protect the rights of organized labor at the point of the Gov. Gun?

I’m European and American, we have tone of organized labor in Europe and they are killing western Europe. The middle class is getting poorer year after year and taxed, for what? Coporatocracy? (bail out, $ or euro devaluation (printing press), special interest).
Europe is mostly Socialist, and we are failing, you do not help people just by giving freely (that is not the way human work, if you do that they always want more free stuff in exchange of nothing), you need to teach and encourage them to do things otherwise you raise generation of couch potatoes.
You can punish a bad individuals or a bad company (all those financial companies should have go down so better financial companies could have bought what ever was interesting to them), but you can not punish a bad gov, or state or bad decision (they keep changing anyhow).
So why taking the risk of having an enormous gov that you will never be able to punish? (by punish I really mean ‘accountable for’)
People are confuse by Capitalism and Corporatocracy, they are 2 very different animals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy
Europe and US are dying of Corporatocracy and big gov.
