How about just go all out and ban selling of goods and services in the USA that aren't sourced / manufactured here? Stop being a nation of consumers that produces nothing, because if you don't produce you don't earn and before long your country is gone and your former servants are now your masters.

This. Reduce taxes, especially on smaller businesses.

Low 👏Unemployment 👏 Drives 👏 Wages 👏 Upward

Artificially “raising” your salary through government mandate won’t make you richer, but it will cause an undue amount of inflation.

And maybe some financial advisory classes because most people wouldn’t know how to best use that extra money. That’s why people make such a big deal out of tax returns. A lump sum is much more exciting than just having a bit more money every paycheck, because their spending habits would be the same and they’d still be broke.

Yep. Being good with the money you earned fairly is what builds wealth. Not being given money. Or having it taxed off you (so you can beg for a fraction of it back after they ban you from making more). Or printing it. Or any of the things the left tries. Of course if everyone were financially educated, how would they trick us into overconsumption and debt?

Education is part of it, but many (most) people know better. It's more of a lack of discipline. Delayed gratification is lost on this generation. They know loans have interest, they know it costs them significantly more in the long run, but they have to have whatever widget it is now. Same with school loans, there are lots of ways to get an affordable education without taking on significant debt. People like the easy way of being handed a check from banks and the government that will burden them for decades.

And reduce the number of individuals in the low-end labor market by having strong borders.

Hmm I don't understand these words in this combination... do you mean "double the taxes"?
