Open your borders.

Give blanket amnesty.

Change your tax code to one where the lowest incomes pay at least 1% of their income and make the rest of it as progressive as it already is.

Change your corporate tax rate to 0%.

Abolish your minimum wage.

And have a president with a marketing campaign promoting it all that is second to none.

You've not only increased your tax base but you've also promoted the natural tendencies of things to equalize.

What that means in microscopic terms is you will have people sweeping floors for what sweeping floors is worth. You'll have people building circuit boards for what that jobs is worth.

The kicker is that job's worthiness will be based on a global economy now.

You either go their (the east's) way or make them come your (the west's) way.

The best approach would be to do both.
