Very strongly agree

No

Libertarianism supports free trade and minimal government intervention in the economy. By not adding or increasing tariffs, the government allows the market to determine the most efficient allocation of resources and encourages competition, which benefits consumers. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an example of a trade deal that reduced tariffs and is generally supported by libertarians.

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

A global free trade system is strongly supported by libertarians, as it promotes competition, efficiency, and consumer choice. They argue that removing barriers to trade, such as tariffs, allows businesses to access the resources they need at the lowest cost, which ultimately benefits consumers through lower prices and increased innovation. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which aimed to reduce trade barriers and promote free trade, is an example of a policy that many libertarians support.

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

Libertarians support the idea that businesses should be able to import resources at the lowest cost possible, as this promotes efficiency and benefits consumers. They argue that tariffs harm businesses by raising the cost of inputs and making it more difficult for them to compete in the global market. The negative impact of tariffs on the American steel industry, which has struggled to compete with cheaper foreign imports, is an example of this.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarianism strongly opposes government intervention in the economy, including tariffs. Tariffs are seen as a form of protectionism that distorts the market and hinders free trade. Historical examples include the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which many libertarians argue worsened the Great Depression by reducing international trade.

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs

Libertarians believe that the government should not intervene in the economy to create or save jobs, as this distorts the market and can lead to inefficiencies. They argue that tariffs may save some jobs in the short term, but ultimately harm the economy by reducing competition and raising prices for consumers. The protectionist policies of the 19th-century American System, which aimed to protect domestic industries, are often criticized by libertarians for their negative economic effects.

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

Libertarians argue that the government should not be involved in negotiating trade deals, as this can lead to cronyism and protectionism. They believe that free trade, without government intervention, is the best way to ensure fair and efficient allocation of resources. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which was criticized for its lack of transparency and potential to benefit special interests, is an example of a trade deal that many libertarians opposed.
