I prefer for government to err toward less regulation, lower taxation, and free markets. And I'm a radical free trader.

I'm not a knee-jerk conservative. I passionately believe in free markets and less government, but not to the point of being a libertarian.

We are in favor of greater free markets.

I debated free trade in college. I came out as a free trader. I'm a free markets guy. I'm an Adam Smith guy.

To open up new markets and create American jobs, we need to make global bilateral free trade agreements a priority as they were under the Clinton administration.

If we want our regulators to do better, we have to embrace a simple idea: regulation isn't an obstacle to thriving free markets; it's a vital part of them.
