Overview

Mission

The mission of the prosperity through leadership project is to provide on- site education for public officials, political candidates, and civic leaders on pro-growth tax and regulatory policies, to make them aware of the dangers of unbridled government, and to train them to effectively deliver the message of the prosperity to the public. By providing them with sound financial understanding, they will be better equipped to shape public policies that restrict the size of government and restore economic prosperity. By teaching them how best to communicate the message of prosperity and the dangers of uncontrolled government, we will train elected leaders conversant in tax reform, pro-growth policies and regulatory reform, capable of persuading the majority of american voters.
