Simple ideas to fix our economy that will never take place in the U.S.:
1) Close all tax loopholes and disallow hiding money in offshore accounts in other countries. Force corporations to prove that they can't find workers in the U.S. who can perform the millions of jobs they currently send overseas.
2) Everyone and every business pays the same percentage tax on income. Even if just 10%, we would have twice the $ necessary to run the country, no matter which idiot is elected, including infrastructure, health care, Social Security, Medicare - it would all be solved. Not to mention the billions we would save on running the convoluted, unfair IRS system that nobody understands.
3) Raise the minimum wage to $20/hour. Otherwise pay everyone what they are actually worth (including C.E.O.'s), regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

The results:
1) The middle class miraculously re-appears.
2) The marketplace rights itself, as more people work at decent jobs and are able to pay for a reasonable cost of living again; maybe even thrive. Infrastructure, health care, education improve.
3) Billionaires are pissed because they can't buy a new $200 million yacht every year.

Next: how to solve global warming. Just kidding - we're leaving that for our grandkids to figure out.
