The system rewards insiders while We the People fall behind.
PROBLEM
- Many Californians are working harder than ever but falling further behind.
- Wages haven’t kept up with the cost of housing, energy, food, and healthcare.
- Artificially high fuel and transportation costs are built into the price of nearly everything Californians buy, from groceries to everyday goods.
- Rules and regulations favor large, politically connected interests while raising costs for everyone else.
- Small businesses disappear, jobs leave, and communities lose the economic foundation that once supported the middle class.
- When opportunity shrinks, people struggle to get ahead — and worry they won’t be able to stay where they are.
SOLUTION
- Remove rules that raise costs and block opportunity, while keeping basic safety and fairness.
- Lower taxes on work and small businesses, so people can keep more of what they earn.
- Restore real competition, so success depends on effort and ideas — not political connections.
- Bring back stable, well-paying jobs by making California a place where businesses can grow.
- Rebuild a strong middle class where hard work leads to stability, ownership, and upward mobility.
