Freedom empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and that is what makes America an exceptional place. In order to open the possibility of a second American Century and unlock a new era of success, progress, and prosperity, we advance the American Free Enterprise Bill of Rights.
American Free Enterprise Bill of Rights
PRINCIPAL 4:
Property rights must be protected.
1
Free economies owe their success to the fact that a significant portion of resources are owned by individuals and corporations rather than by the government. Real, financial, and intellectual property rights must be secure. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights must be observed and protected. The owners of property exercise control over their capital and its allocation, the means of production, and the right to freely exchange it.
2
Entrepreneurs should be able to sell their companies without restriction and without excessive taxes.
