At this moment, there is an opportunity to make America great again, but I don't see evidence of it happening. I'm not going to make a comprehensive listing immediately, but during this time of low employment, it's the ideal time to make such changes. Try using the numbers to identify specific points. They really need to be done together for maximum effect.
1. Lower taxes - Repeal the present tax cut and focus a tax cut for the middle middleclass down to the poor weighted for the poor. The logic is simple, those people will spend the money quickly and stimulate the economy. Remove sales taxes on fuels to make transportation cheaper and that will stimulate the economy. In fact, all sales taxes, like state sales taxes should be eliminated. Regressive taxation hurts the economy. The people will spend the money if they don't have to send it to the government and will stimulate the economy. The big fish will get their share as the benefits of a good economy gives them good investments and business opportunities. They don't need the dole. Tariffs are a no no, there are better ways to negotiate.
2. Legalize marijuana and end incarceration for people without large involvements in drugs. Keeping them in jail is expensive and hardly worth the effort. Target the source, not the users.
3. Increase the minimum wage. That will obviously stimulate the economy.
4. Set the minimum working age at 16 requiring working papers until 18. They are kids and deserve a one time childhood.
5. Open the borders. There have been plenty of times in the past, we have opened our borders to immigration to build America and we can do it right now with out low unemployment. Get rid of that fiasco going on in our southern border as quickly as possible. If the whole population of those triangle countries can here, America could handle it. Let them enter the country and assimilate. Get our embassies around the world to find immigrants. That will bring a lot of talent to America. Make Lady Liberty shine again.
