“Ending poverty in doable steps”
TT has the most oil/ gas regionally, thus the following is easily financed.
National benefits are less crime and better mental health as the economic desperation is removed. Expansion of the middle class becomes reality.
1. COST OF LIVING – reduce as in reversing increases in car fuel by returning the subsidy; tax rises on wheat, car imports, grape, internet shopping and the like. As is the cost of living is ever rising whilst the MINIMUM WAGE REMAINS ALMOST THE SAME, COMBINED DRIVE CITIZENS POORER.
2. Mandate LIVING WAGE – the PRIVATE SECTOR especially in great need. Workers are mentally and even physically exploited by the EMPLOYER CLASS. Humanely RAISE to 5 grand monthly, $30 hourly and INFLATION PEGGED – more inflation rises, higher people’s salary to match. INFLATION is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time, such as the overall increase in prices or the increase in the cost of living in a country. The exploitation of MINIMUNM WAGE eliminated.
3. From the state a wealth share – in the form of GMI, GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME at the value of 5 grand monthly to adults earning not more than $200,000 yearly – inflation pegged. At current Cost Of Living, even 5 grand living wage isn’t enough. Combined the two equates monthly pay of 10 grand. The GMI is given to the unemployed as well. State money is public money.
4. Eat on the cheap – agriculture and fishing developed LOCALLY is key. Cut the $5 billion FOOD IMPORT BILL by local farming. Various incentives to farmers and fishermen: subsidized equipment, vet care, chemicals amongst. Assign FREE land to farmers, grow and fish majority of food. These measures make agriculture more prominent economically and a diversification out from oil.
