The Criticism of the ‘Opportunity Economy’
Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly promoted the concept of an ‘Opportunity Economy,’ aiming to foster economic growth. However, critics argue that the plan has not worked out well for ordinary people. Dr. Steve Turley and Matthew Smith dissect this issue in the video discussion, highlighting how Harris’s message contrasts with the rising wealth disparity and elite asset control.
Dr. Steve Turley points out that Harris’s speeches and initiatives seem more beneficial for the elites, emphasizing the necessity for a change in economic strategy. “The problem with her is that this whole thing about an opportunity economy has not really sort of worked out very well for people,” Dr. Steve asserts.
The Need for a Patriot Economy
According to Turley and Smith, what America needs instead is a ‘Patriot Economy’ led by patriotic entrepreneurs. They encourage people to divert their spending to businesses that align with values of faith, family, and freedom. As Dr. Steve mentions, this isn’t just a call for entrepreneurs, but for anyone interested in preserving the nation’s core values: “This isn’t just for entrepreneurs or business people; this is for anyone who wants to see the future of civilization based on faith, family, and freedom.”
“Through chaos comes order, and that’s something that has been part of their plan for a long time,” said Matthew Smith, President of Public Square Advisors.
Smith adds that small to medium-sized businesses face immense pressure, dealing with regulations, increased taxes, and uncertainties. “The stress that small to medium-sized businesses feel in this country is absolutely immense,” he notes. This systemic stress underscores the need for a shift towards a more sustainable and equitable economic model.
An Upcoming Summit to Champion the Cause
Dr. Turley and Smith also announced a significant summit taking place on October 10th and 11th in Orlando, Florida. The event aims to gather like-minded individuals who advocate for a Patriot Economy. The lineup of speakers is noteworthy, including Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Russell Brand, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “When you have the power of numbers and you have people saying if I can just be authentic…you will Thrive because consumers are dying for authenticity,” says Smith.
“The stress that small to medium-sized businesses feel in this country is absolutely immense,” said Matthew Smith, President of Public Square Advisors.
This summit hopes to equip attendees with the tools and inspiration needed to take back control from global elites and foster a more grassroots-driven economy. “We have the power and we have the assets to fight back,” Smith emphasizes, urging all who are concerned with the future of the American economy and the preservation of conservative values to attend.
