Principle 1: A Fair Economy Starts With Putting People First

We’re told the economy is booming, but for who?
While corporations rake in record profits, millions of working Americans can’t afford a home, put food on the table, or climb out of debt. The truth is, the system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed, to serve profits, not people.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
As a father of 8, a veteran, a foster care survivor, and a future accountant, I’ve lived on the other side of this system, and I’m running for president to change it.
Here’s what we mean by “People Over Profit”:
End corporate welfare. Big businesses shouldn't get billions in tax breaks while families drown in costs.
Raise the floor for workers. Wages haven’t kept up with inflation. When families can’t keep up, they fall apart. It's that simple.
Invest in people, not just contractors. We need public spending that supports citizens directly, not just private deals and defense budgets.
Support small businesses. Real competition only happens when small business owners aren’t crushed by monopolies or left out of subsidies.
📊 America should invest in people with the same urgency it invests in war.
We don’t need more trickle-down promises, we need bottom-up stability. That’s what builds strong families, stable communities, and real freedom.
👉 Stop voting for the lesser of two evils. Start voting for what you actually want. And if this principle speaks to you, support the campaign that lives by it.
