Economy
Market economy and market regulation based on objective value limiting artificial market capacity. Based on the industrious behavior of individual, performance and productivity, thus enabling the common good of the people through equality of opportunity. Checks and balances to ensure that competition and innovation are not squeezed out of the American Dream. Protect and allow for potential to be achieved by the virtue of individual will, rather than subsidy without performance agreements.
Protecting The Economy
Personal security comes with strength in the economy. Many people think that the economy is Wall Street. The fact is that the majority of business happens in small business. We should not place unequal, or unhealthy, emphasis on protecting one sector of the economy over another without due cause. The national debt has topped 7 trillion dollars and continues to rise due to unsustainable policies. It is a mortgage that needs to be addressed rapidly as the interest on this loan has strong potential to erode our economic stability.

One can clearly see how management and policy reflects on the poverty rate in the presidential cycles. Circumstances and policy should be examined in each instance.
Note: The lines are set in the previous year to the presidential term to show the last metric data in the cycle before taking office.

The important question is how and why poverty rates go up and down. The strongest way to alleviate poverty is to provide the means, method, and motivation to earn and exchange value. That does not mean welfare, it means providing the opportunity and motivation to use ones potential to learn, earn and provide value. The more we give away, the less potential value can be achieved.
Americas Marketplace
America is still known as the place where dreams come true. Our unique attitude that anything is possible if you are willing to work for it has driven innovation to the limits of imagination again and again.
The freedoms and regulations allotted us in our market economy are the foundation for our businesses and the fair trade of goods and services.
We need to examine the small business environment, legislation and policy that may have moved to favor corporate expansion and certain global aspects over the driver of the American dream which is the main driver of the American economy, small business.
Governing policies that protect businesses as well as consumers need to be continually examined in the ever changing landscape that is our fast moving market economy.
Flexibility and fairness combined with due consideration of needs in the local, national and international business arena will foster a healthy market economy.
From intellectual property to small business development, protecting the capacity to achieve the "American Dream" should be the goal of all and a motive in policy direction.
Balancing Needs in a Whirlwind of Competition - Are we working to secure the American Dream, or is it slipping away to the most powerful Washington lobbyists? Personal security comes with strength in the economy. Many people think that the economy is Wall Street. The fact is that the majority of business happens in small business. We should not place unequal emphasis on protecting one sector of the economy over another and always be considerate of how healthy a policy direction is. The national debt has topped 7 trillion dollars and continues to rise due to unsustainable policies. It is a mortgage that needs to be addressed.

The blue and pink lines represent the top .1% and 1% income earnings group in the country. The disproportionate increase in the past 25 years may be caused by the rapid globalization and expansion of consumer markets.
This occurring concurrently with the market bubble in the 90's may have caused policy shifts to favor executive compensation.
On a value basis this market mentality caused or occurred in coincidence with the emergence of the technology market and the highest average price earnings ratio the markets had ever experienced.
