Trade+Reform


 * Trade Reform**

The Assertion party is in favor of expanding international growth through large corporations, and through small businesses once we gain enough profit. We must institute trade policies regarding BRIC countries, especially China- taking into account currency irregularities. We believe that the US has certain entrepreneurial benefits that need to be executed in a global environment in order to reach the full economic potential that we as Americans have.

Imports/Exports:
 * Exports are significant in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries, because of the low labor costs available.
 * Imports include popular products and/or corporations such as Apple, Google, IBM, HP, McDonald’s, Starbucks as well as other retailers.

Tariffs
 * We believe that tariffs should be charged on all international markets with a fair trade policy. Those tariffs should be regulated by an independent international regulatory agency to ensure fair trade on imports. (United Nations)

Embargo/Sanctions
 * We believe in the justification of embargoes to ensure a peaceful and stable world economy.
 * If a large majority of nations agree to impose an embargo on a particular country, we believe that it is warranted, unless it is for political gain for a certain country.
 * Embargoes include; Cuba, Iran, Afghanistan, and other Middle East countries.

Free Trade/Borders
 * The US does not believe in borders because the best path to prosperity is international trade and Capitalism.
 * The US economy is driven by competition, and free markets, and we encourage nations to trade freely.

Currency Value
 * The value of currency will change with government inflation in the US.
 * The Assertion party believes that there should be a regulatory agency to monitor currency value throughout the world, making sure that there is no monopoly because of unfair trade and currency value. For example China and Japan have created unfair currency that we believe creates advantages over the rest of the world.
