At Prosperity Utah, we advance ownership opportunities for all, by advocating for the right to own and control property. We believe that the more individuals are free to own and control property, the more free and prosperous a society becomes. We believe everyone should keep more of the money that they earn and direct their own profession and property with the least amount of regulation. Yet free markets are consistently under attack by those wanting to expand government and a system of “crony capitalism”, giving the true system of free markets and limited government a bad rap, increasingly losing public support. WHAT WE DO We fight to make Utah the lowest taxed state in the nation and fight for federal reforms: Your labor is your property. The tax burden today across all jurisdictions is higher than it's ever been. This governmental confiscation of your property is far afield from the tenets of a free market, limited government economy, let alone the intentions of our founders. We recognize that governments need funding to operate, but its roles are defined and limited in our Constitution, requiring its funding come through user fees and apportionment. We work to drastically reduce requirements related to occupational licensing and business regulation: You should be allowed to determine your own livelihood without onerous governmental regulation and coercion. Societies and individuals prosper when entrepreneurs are free to build, create, and discover without excessive regulations holding them back. Government has far too much say in how we can work and create enterprises. We work to achieve the highest percentage of property and business ownership in the country: The right to own property is fundamental to a free society and must be protected and expanded. Through ownership, families can break cycles of poverty and build intergenerational wealth that expands opportunities for future generations, regardless of background or any other distinction.
