3 ways to build a better economy in 3 year.

1. Ban corporations from owning residential rental housing, and blatantly make no mistake about it, tax currently corporate owning residential housing into a desperate fast sell.

2. BREAK UP WALL STREET. AT&T/standard oil style on a mass scale by enforcing the Sherman antitrust act.

3 raise the federal minimum wage to historic high national averages monthly rent of a 2 bedroom apartment ÷ 40 calculation. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT MAY punch to on a calculator.

Throw all fronts into action at once and the economy will thrive by leaps and bounds in a matter of 3 years or less.

Those are all great solutions, but the problem is we are "in too deep," at this point. What I mean is, if we begin breaking up the monopolies all at once, and taxing Corporate America and the families that own "everything" in America at a fair rate, what all of them will do is close their doors and "take the money and run," and the American economy collapses. They already don't give a damn about us, so what is to keep them from leaving us homeless and starving.
I'm all for reversing the ills that have been created in this country by others in the past, but it would have to be a slower process if it's going to work.

@calicuz And sadly, because of corporate greed in other countries and the international politics, you cant count on a lot of overseas support for any initiatives to bail the US out..😷

One can't expect to be bailed out, if one is doing all the bailing out.

@calicuz Thats true. But thats part of how America got so deep in debt to the world.. Its complex. but I am betting one way or another its the people who are going to be told to pony up..😷

@calicuz There is an easy solution to that problem: eminent domain

@calicuz most of corporate American wealth is in speculated value. Baning corporate ownership of residential real-estate and taxing already corporate held real estate would bust one side of the hot air bubble.

Then breaking up corporate monopolies would free up the markets which os whT antitrust laws were meant for.

It would also install diversity that our economy so desperately needs.

I agree, but it has to be a slow process.
