Economics
The National Freedom Coalition believes in economic freedom. We want to reduce poverty by allowing the free market to take its course. However, we understand the need to protect the rights of workers through safety and fair wage regulations. It is only by making a balance can the economy prosper as well as the people. In order for this to happen we support capitalism which will strike the appropriate balance.
Energy
The National Freedom Coalition believes in an "all of the above" energy policy. We believe the market is best placed to solve our energy problems. As such, we advocate the use of government to create a market to internalize the costs of pollution resulting from Energy. Since emission limits are more liable to being manipulated and create greater uncertainty in the market, we advocate taxes on polluting emissions. We believe any such taxes should be used to reduce the tax burden on labour. This will spur greater innovation and investment throughout the economy. We support the increased use of nuclear energy as well as moving away from fossil fuels.
Taxation
We support a progressive and fair tax system that will keep life for the poor fair without driving away the rich as well as a standard deduction regionally adjusted for cost of living. We oppose excessive property tax as an attempt to punish success.
Environment
The National Freedom Coalition acknowledges protection of the environment as a worthy goal, but we believe that the environmental movement must not go too far. By properly internalizing the costs of activity damaging to the environment and enforcing contracts, we believe that much needless government regulation can be avoided. We support the continued existence of a national park system.
Free Trade
The National Freedom Coalition supports mostly unrestricted free trade between the nations of the world. We are opposed to most tariffs, and to any harsh fair trade restrictions.
Personal Liberty
The National Freedom Coalition believes that marriage should be about love, and that the government should involve itself with marriage as least as possible.
International Liberty
The National Freedom Coalition supports a well-funded, well-trained military for the purposes of national defence. However, we are staunchly opposed to imperialism and acting as the world's policemen. This does not mean that we should never intervene, as in extreme cases we must understand that need to protect people of the world if they cannot protect themselves.
Political Liberty
The National Freedom Coalition supports the right to vote for all. We also support a first-past the-post system
