Private & Nonprofit

• Let private enterprise and conventional charities work on it. Get and keep the government out of it.

Finance Changes

• Bring tax increment financing

Education

• Teach fiscal responsibility. The difference between wants a different needs.

New Design

• Give owenership to individuals give them something to be proud of and use cheap resources like shipping containers to help mitigate the cost, while also forming partnerships with companies to help

Income Changes

• Wages need to be higher

• Jobs! Living wages!!
