I agree that we should improve skill & productivity. The best way to create wealth & knowledge is to create a market for small & medium businesses. Employees can gain skills & learn about the industry to create their own businesses, which further evolves the market & creates more jobs & opportunity for advancement. Education with auto-didactic learning, tax law, & practical business is important, to help people reach the next level of wealth.

There's probably effective & ineffective ways of promoting citizens' interests with local, national, & international business; however if we care about our neighbors & our values as a country, we should invest in our neighbors who share these values.
