Transforming Detroit from working

class to Middle Class Act

1. Cost effective destruction of abadoned homes and buildings in

Detroit Importing TNT explosives from Iowa and other states to
use to demolish abadoned buildings and homes faster and
cheaper.
2. 30 Million Investment in Vocational and Technical Schools in
Detroit in Trades, Science, Engineering, Technology and
Mathematics for young students building a strong young worker
force that will be able to contribute to the Detroit pension
system for the elderly and disabled.
3. Economic Empowerment Zones in the City of Detroit, abolishing
all cooperate income taxes, cutting business regulations and
lower bussiness tax rate to 10% to attract bussiness growth in
Detroit.
4. Commonwealth of Belle Isle, selling of the Island of Belle Isle to
investors and turn Belle Isle into a Commonwealth of Michigan,
with it's own small government, military and industries of
finance, insurance, and investments.

5. Allow for Fracking in Detroit for Natural Gas and for drilling for oil
for the city of Detroit creating jobs in the Energy industry.
6. Giving Contracts to private water companies to clean up Detroit's
water system, improve water infastructure and provide the people of
Detroit with clean water.
7. Giving Government Contracts to private construction companies to
repair and fix Detroit's roads, infastructure and bridges.
8. Reforms to the criminal justice system, releasing non violent prisoners,
mandating drug users go to drug treatment clinics and cut the cost of
money spent on jails and direct it towards police, fire protection and
EMT services of quality in Detroit.
9.Bringing Manufacturing Jobs to Detroit, by makig it easy for
manufacturing firms to export their products, low taxes, right to work
laws, less regulations, low energy prices and a talented and educated
work force that can out compete China, Vietnam and Japan.Focus on
technical education, technical institutes and polytechnics, as
well as apprenticeship programs. Specialize in high-end, complex
manufactured products that can command a premium price.

10. Retraining. There are millions of Americans in industries like automobile parts

in which lost jobs are unlikely to ever come back, certainly not at the pay they
once commanded. That means people many in their 40s or 50s need to
find new jobs. We need to create retraining programs for an entire generation
of workers. Nothing we have done so far matches the scale of the problem. We
need a program as ambitious as the GI Bill, which put returning veterans
through college after World War II and prepared a generation of Americans
for good jobs. Like the GI Bill, it would have to be a program in which
government paid a large share of the costs while educational institutions
provided the services. The private sector should also get involved by
identifying what jobs the economy needs and creating apprenticeships and
internal training to match up with national efforts.
11.Growth industries. A huge part of any effort to create jobs should be to simply
look at where jobs already are being created and to double down in these
areas.
12.Small businesses. The Kauffman Foundation has found that from 1980 to 2005, nearly all
net job creation in the U.S. occurred in firms that were less than five years old. That
suggests that we should focus on improving the ecosystem for start-ups and small
businesses by funding basic research, streamlining the patent process, limiting regulation
and encouraging venture-capital and private-equity companies that fund new ventures.
Perhaps the single biggest boon for small companies would be to let in more skilled
immigrants. We train the world's best and brightest at our universities (often at taxpayer
expense), and then, just when they will begin to file patents, make inventions, start
companies and create jobs, we throw them out.
