Wealth Inequality
How to fix America's wealth inequality: get people to save and invest more. Uh...yeah...
You could easily make a good argument public high schools should be teaching Suze Orman level finance classes. Seriously. I just got an idea - a high school class called "Money." Every student begins the semester with zero and they are charged with coming up with a plan to maximize the amount of money they can make in a semester. Some will get paid jobs. Others will try business ventures. (you might need to max the amount of "homework" time). Some will invest profits, some will re-invest. The only goal is to make money. The prize at the end of the semester? You keep what you make. You can't tell me this is a worse idea than human sexuality or physical education (especially when a lot of kids already play sports).
