Revamp the American education system. American high schools should be some of the baddest institutions in the world. Create more competition for teaching jobs by raising salaries - I am of the impression that even the least intelligent of individuals can learn under the proper atmospheres. If the system was revamped in the manner I envision, Americans, members of the most powerful country in the world, would be better armed to combat poverty and worldly issues. We would also be more likely to contribute innovative ideas to the age of technology, which will eventually revolutionize the way we live. Perhaps then we will be able to live more efficiently, potentially eliminating poverty.
