 The Alberta Social Credit Party - The Freedom Trail
It is the agelong struggle between freedom and authority, between external compulsion and internal initiative, in which all the command of resources, information, religious dogma, educational system, political opportunity and even, apparently, economic necessity, is ranged on the side of authority; and ultimate authority is now exercised through finance.
As far as it is physically possible and morally right, politicians must give the people the results they want in the management of their public affairs.
There can be no freedom, without economic freedom— the economic freedom to choose one's work and working conditions, made possible by a National or Citizen's Dividend—and the economic freedom to produce and market one's goods and services without unnecessary government intrusion.
