About the Book:
The economic chaos of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis that has created so
much destruction of wealth for regular Americans is far from over. This book
examines problems and possible solutions within national, international, and
local realms that will help us navigate these times and set a course toward
calmer waters. While some clamor for more taxes to cover our government's
programs, The Next America shows how we can restructure our tax code so it
positively affects all aspects of our communities: education, businesses,
innovation, political transparency, environmental issues, investments, and
more. Concerned citizens and economic players alike will be inspired and
motivated to act to reestablish the American Dream during this transitional
time. The Next America believes an informed citizenry can create a solution to
hold our elected officials accountable for real change that will be robust and
beneficial to all American’s not just the elite few at the top, without moving
away from our free market and capitalism based economy.
