If you wish to have free access to the single market, then you have to accept the fundamental rights as well as obligation that come from it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Free access to the single market will be granted to a country which accepts the four fundamental freedoms of movement of people, goods, services, and capital.
Every market has some rules and boundaries that restrict freedom of choice. A market looks free only because we so unconditionally accept its underlying restrictions that we fail to see them.
My fundamental tenets are concerned with freedom of the individual; the market isn't perfect, but it's the best available way of allocating resources.
There's a difference between a free market and free-for-all market.
The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.
It's no longer the older paradigm of, 'I want to own this market, and no one else can own this market because I own this market.' The Internet has made the market limitless.
'Free markets' is not a liberal or conservative issue. The rule of law is not a Right or Left issue. Those are American principles since our founding, and to the extent that other countries follow our lead... they will prosper. That's what I want, because every one of those people is a child of God.
Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
The 'free market' is the product of laws and rules continuously emanating from legislatures, executive departments, and courts.
There can never be such a thing as a free market, because it is human nature to cheat, monopolize, and buy off others so as to corner the market.
