\u201cI\u2019ll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard, she was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers,\u201d Harris told the interviewer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience, you know, a lot of people will relate to this. You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn, you know. And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity. And that we as Americans have a beautiful character,\u201d she rambled.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Harris touched on the idea of an \u201copportunity economy\u201d during the interview, suggesting it as a means to support small business startups. However, she did not provide details on the mechanisms or strategies for implementing that policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n
