Strongly agree

No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers

Agree

No, this will hurt our manufacturing businesses that rely on importing cheap resources to make their products

This aligns with welfarist principles as it recognizes the importance of keeping production costs low for manufacturing businesses, which can lead to lower prices for consumers and higher employment in those industries.

From a welfarist perspective, avoiding tariffs can be seen as beneficial because it keeps consumer prices low and encourages a competitive market, which can lead to better quality and more innovative products.

Neutral

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs

While creating and saving jobs aligns with improving welfare, the broader implications of tariffs, such as increased consumer prices and potential retaliation affecting other sectors, make this a nuanced issue for welfarism.

Slightly disagree

Yes, our country has been on the losing side of trade deals for too long

Welfarism might acknowledge the need for fair trade deals but would prioritize the direct impact on welfare over nationalistic or protectionist arguments, thus being cautious about broad tariff implementations.

Disagree

Yes

Welfarism focuses on policies that directly improve the welfare of citizens, and while tariffs can protect certain jobs, they can also increase costs for consumers and potentially harm broader economic welfare.
