Humanitarians believes in a free market economy with limited government and individual liberty where people can pursue their individual objectives through harmonious and productive interactions just as the founder fathers of the U.S. Constitution wanted.

America is great because people have a chance to become anything they “work” to become. In America you can start at the poorest level and become one of the wealthiest. It’s about working hard and getting rewarded for doing that, it’s not about laying back with your hand out waiting for someone to give you something. It’s not about spreading the wealth around. America was built on a foundation of endless possibilities if you work hard to achieve them.

Humanitarian’s defend incentive programs for hard working citizens like fair tax rates and tax deductions with a government that promotes innovations and entrepreneurship.

Humanitarians do not believe that “sharing the wealth” is a solution that will help the economy. By spreading the wealth around it does not increase net wealth of the country, it’s a zero-sum situation and if continued it will create a net loss in wealth for the country. When you redistribute the wealth it doesn’t provide incentives to produce and eventually there will be no positive-sum actives to share, it’s a loss-loss scenario.

The government should provide incentives to wealth producing activities and not punish those wealth producing activities by raising taxes or bailing out failed activities. The Interstate Commerce Clause was put in place to avoid monopolies and to stop unfair business practices, but in today’s market it seems that monopolies are allowed as long as they can be exploited by the government through the stock market and higher taxes to support the poor.

If we utilize the Commerce Clause in a way to avoid monopolies (restricting businesses from branching out into unlimited markets) allowing more individually owned companies to exist and limiting the stock market it would create a stronger free-market with more incentives for more people and at the same time allow the Government to collect mores tax revenue at a lower tax rate.

We need a solution to stop the greed we currently see and “spread the wealth” around by creating incentives and more opportunities (jobs) for people. This is an area that needs focused on in order to create a positive-sum economy with a prosperous society. Government needs to provide incentives for hard working people, not incentives for people to not work hard.
