The $6,000 solution
The federal gov. gives every child an account of $6,000 invested in some fund to be used for collegem to set up a business, or to buy a first home when the child comes of age. It would be the GI bill for this age and would be called the American Stakeholder Act. In 2004 when this essay was written, the author determined that this would cost $24 B which is about 1/6 what the gov. gives in tax breaks to corporations every year.
