Steven Carrier

Liberal, Progressive, Democratic activist. Served in numerous party positions and on a multitue of campaigns. Worked as a fundraiser for many liberal and progressive causes. A student of our political system and how it works. Our system does work, just not how most people think. Tech savvy mechanical designer. Former business owner that believes capitalism needs to be tempered with common sense reforms that supports workers rights, fair wages. Unions are nessasary for the health and safety of the middle class. The corporation is an artificial entity created with an economic advantage the average person is not given. The invisible hand of the free market will not bring wealth to the average person unless it is forced to do so. The very Idea of a "free market" is contrary to the over benefit of corporations, they will always seek to have an advantage over everyone. In fact there never has been a free market anywhere on earth. Raising and lowering trade barriers has always been do to give an advantage to the home team. The consolidation of power destroys competition. The balance of power We apply to our Government must also be applied business to protect all, including America's economic health. Without it new businesses will be crushed by monopolies for their own benefit. Education MUST be fully funded for our nation to survive as more than a third world power.
