1Meet the Young Man Bringing Adam Smith and the Free Market to the Inner City
Brandon Loran Maxwell describes himself as “not your average political nerd.”
A former member of “one of the nation’s largest and most notorious Hispanic gangs,” Maxwell explained to TheBlaze how he is using his “turbulent gang and drug-ridden background” to reach inner city youth with the unique message of how the free market has revolutionized the world — and is the key to their future.
“The goal is to empower inner city youth by teaching them free market economics through industries they love and relate to,” he said.
Having written on the topic in publications from New York City to Los Angeles, Maxwell recently delivered a lecture titled “Hip Hop and Adam Smith” to a group of at-risk youth in Kansas City. Members of the audience all voluntarily came before 9:00 a.m. on their spring break to hear him speak.

I agree that the free market is the best path to prosperity. However, the free market must be allowed to work.
As long as inner city voters keep electing big government, high taxes politicians with a socialist agenda, the free market will not get the opportunity to work properly within the inner cities.
The majority of jobs are created by small businesses. Inner city politicians (mainly Black Democrats) have made it impossible for small businesses to survive because of high taxes and regulations. Detroit is a good example.
Inner city politicians do not want voters to be economically empowered. They only want them empowered enough to vote Democrat. This is why they are against common sense voter IDs laws. They refuse to talk about free market opportunities.
The free market cannot work when voters are electing JOB KILLING POLITICIANS.
