Free Markets

In the market, it is not the government’s job to pick winners and losers, ensure equality of outcome, or redistribute wealth. Generally speaking, capitalism works. The government therefore should focus on ensuring that people who work hard and provide a service to the public receive the natural reward for their labor instead of interfering with their business. To ensure that Alabama remains a fortress for economic freedom, the Alabama Center for Law and Liberty will take cases focusing on the following objectives:

Challenging business-licensing schemes that serve no purpose other than to protect those who are already in business from competition;
Defending small-business owners from government-imposed shutdowns, which allow large-business competitors to stay open; and
Taking opportunities to restore the Commerce Clause and General Welfare Clause of the Federal Constitution to their original intent.
