ECONOMY: Reward Work, Not Extraction

We don’t have a “free market.” We have a system that often rewards extraction over contribution.

That needs to change.

My approach:

• Support small businesses

  • Level the playing field against corporate consolidation

• Tie incentives to real outcomes

  • Reward production, not speculation

• Labor has a seat at the table

  • Strengthen worker representation

• Public investment that pays back

  • Infrastructure, energy, and housing that reduce long-term costs

Bottom line: The economy should work for the people who participate in it, not just the ones who extract from it.
