I'd probably propose some kind of program that funnels money into the things you mentioned (plus more tech job training, sales training, etc.), but maybe with other kinds of incentives for the rich so that they'd stay in the U.S. and actually want to pay into it.

Okay so I've never really looked into it to see the numbers but there is always that fear mongering statement that the rich will just leave and we don't want them to do that. It's so not true. The same thing happens on the state level and that's how especially in NY state larger businesses are able to get huge tax breaks like a PILOT for 30 years and leave the residents in the area left holding the bag with increased property taxes to big up the slack of the rich "job creators". **** that.

You train vets? Can I get a job?
