INDEX OF SOLUTIONS, a sampling

Corporate Tax Solution #5:  Base each company’s tax rate on the percentage of its full time employees based in the U.S.  Pg. 73.

This would finally provide an incentive to maintain and increase employment in the U.S., ensure only companies creating American jobs receive tax cuts, and support small business owners which often have a higher percentage of their employees based in the U.S.


Expanding the Middle Class Solution #3: Increase Pell Grant funding to the most effective institutions while eliminating funding for the most costly and ineffective programs Pg. 240


Global Trade Solution #1: At a minimum, negotiate equal trade terms and, ideally negotiate more favorable terms for the U.S. Pg. 100  This would finally make trade terms including tariffs reciprocal.


Financial Crises Solution #1: Base the pay of bank executives and those approving loans on how much of the money lend is repaid.  This would finally tie bank executive compensation to the quality of the loans they make as opposed to the quantity.


Congressional Solution #6: Base Congressional salary increases on the rate of increase in the bottom tenth’s inflation-adjusted weekly earnings.
