America’s Next President Must Build a Future Worthy of All Who Call This Nation Home
If America is to prosper again, the priority of our next president must be deceptively simple and profoundly urgent: Build a future worthy of the people who will live in it.
Not a future shaped by political ideology.
Not a future constrained by old fights.
Not a future that serves the donors, the insiders, or the duopoly that has dominated Washington for generations.
We are talking about a future designed for the Prosperity Generations – a future where Gen Z and Millennials can afford to live, where Gen X and Baby Boomers can retire with dignity, and where the remaining members of the Silent Generation can see their final chapter defined by stability rather than fear.
This is not left.
This is not right.
This is America, choosing to believe in itself again.
And that begins with a new national priority.
The First Priority of America’s Next President: Prosperity Worthy of the American People
For decades, Washington has been rearranging the furniture of government while the house itself has been falling apart.
Instead of building, it bickers.
Instead of solving, it performs.
Instead of leading, it lurches.
Both parties, in different ways, at different times, have ignored the foundational needs of the American people:
On affordable housing
Stable wages
Sensible tariffs that don’t fuel inflation
A balanced budget without sacrificing the future
Childcare families can actually access
Healthcare that doesn’t bury people in debt
Mobility systems that connect workers to opportunity
Small business capital that empowers a new generation of entrepreneurs
When everything costs more, but every paycheck buys less, Washington shouldn’t pat itself on the back.
It should apologize.
What we need is not a president who performs for their base, but one who prioritizes the entire nation.
That is the Prosperity Generations Priority.
Not an Ideology but a Set of National Priorities Washington Forgot
I am not selling you an ideology.
I am advocating for priorities.
For too long, the duopoly has treated policies like toys—something to trade, delay, or weaponize.
Housing affordability becomes a partisan football.
Healthcare is a talking point, not a plan.
Tariffs are imposed and lifted like political mood swings.
Shutdowns are used as leverage instead of being seen as the national crises they are.
Independents ask a different set of questions – the only questions that matter:
What comes first?
Not a party. Not ideology. People. Opportunity. Affordability. Freedom.
Who are we fighting for?
Every American who plays by the rules, who works hard, who wants a better life, and who is tired of being told to wait for the prosperity that never arrives.
What will change if there is an independent president next?
Everything has been neglected. Everything has been postponed. Everything that Washington treats as too complicated, too controversial, or too politically risky.
In other words … You. Your family. Your future. Your prosperity.
That is the heart of the Prosperity Generations Priority.
The Prosperity Generations: A Framework for Renewal
We have laid the groundwork for this in The Independent Quill: the Four Pillars of the Prosperity Generations:
1. Make Life Affordable Again
2. Raise Wages Through Productivity and Innovation
3. Unlock Capital for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs
4. Restore Fiscal Responsibility as a Freedom Imperative
These pillars are not ideological. They are structural.
They rebuild the American economy from the foundation up, not the rhetoric down.
Under a president who prioritizes this, these pillars become more than analysis – they become action.
Imagine an America where housing is not a crisis but a living opportunity.
Where childcare helps families thrive.
Where healthcare is transparent, fair, and competitive.
Where tariffs don’t punish working Americans.
Where the government stays open, not because of political mercy, but because shutdowns are impossible.
Where small businesses can raise their first $50,000 as easily as corporations raise their first $50 million.
Where infrastructure connects communities instead of dividing them.
Where every Generation Z, Millennial, X, Boomer, and Silent sees its contribution honored.
That is the Prosperity Generations' future.
The New National Promise: Freedom to Live Better Lives
For too long, the American Dream has been described as something personal, a matter of “character” or “grit.”
But prosperity is not an individual trait.
It is a national environment. And that environment has been polluted by inaction.
The Prosperity Generations Priority restores the most significant promise of all: The freedom to live a better life, not constrained by crushing costs, not trapped by broken systems, not dependent on partisan mood swings.
Freedom is not merely the absence of government interference. Freedom is the presence of opportunity.
That is the new American promise.
This Is Your Future to Claim
The Prosperity Generations are not defined by age. They are characterized by belief.
They include:
The young family struggling with rent
The single parent working two or three jobs
The recent graduate crushed by school loans
The small business owner is desperately searching for capital
The retiree watching precious savings erode
The independent voter who is tired of being ignored or blocked from voting
Every American who wants a country that works again
The Prosperity Generations are the Americans who believe the next president should fight for them, not a political party, not for a faction, and not for base.
This is a moment when America can either continue drifting into economic decline or choose a new direction.
A direction filled with possibility. A direction filled with promise. A direction filled with prosperity.
Walking the Talk
So that you understand that we are indeed different from the duopoly, we have proposed a series of what we believe are unique and workable solutions to the many problems and challenges that Washington’s two major parties have ignored for far too long.
Read about them in our Independent Quill newsletter found on Substack and tell us what you think about these ideas. Do they make sense to you? Can you support what we are advocating? Will these policy proposals make your life more prosperous?
By topic, we have proposed the following that Washington’s duopoly claims they cannot conjure up:
The Prosperity Republic
The Prosperity Tariff
The Prosperity Fair Flat Tax
The Prosperity Budget
The Prosperity Fund
The Prosperity Dividend
The Prosperity Security Compact
The Prosperity Constitution
The Prosperity Generation
The Prosperity Affordability Project
The Prosperity New Firewall
The Prosperity Firewall Framework

The Prosperity Implementation Act
The Prosperity Three Trinity Doctrine
The Prosperity Medical Innovation Zone Concept
The Prosperity American Transformational Innovation Trust Concept
The Prosperity Generations Playbook
Build a Future Worthy of the Nation We Still Are
If America is to rise again, it will not increase because a party demanded it.
It will rise because the people insisted on it.
Independents are not asking the country to switch teams. We are asking the government to raise its expectations.
The Prosperity Generations Priority is more than a plan. It is the beginning of a national renewal.
A future worthy of:
Our work
Our families
Our hopes
And our better angels
America has always been great at imagining tomorrow.
It is time we become great at building it again.
And the next president – whoever that may be – must begin exactly here.
