Preserving the American Dream
More Work. Less Dependency.
Work is key to unlocking the American Dream, but it is under attack by ever-growing red tape at the state and federal level.
Outdated, expensive, and overly burdensome licensing regimes keep many from entering their desired profession, while local governments punish entrepreneurship by making it difficult to start a home-based business.
At the same time, bureaucrats still holding onto a slow, inflexible permitting process can stop economic expansion in its tracks—if even more regulations from unaccountable agencies haven’t already prevented progress before it could even begin.
The Biden administration has only made our economic climate worse by issuing more costly regulations than any other administration in modern history.
These barriers must be taken down to fill millions of open jobs, jumpstart the economy, and preserve the American Dream for generations to come.
