How does PLI propose inducing the Forbes 400 to donate less than 2% of their wealth to saving the world?
We add a column to the Forbes 400 spreadsheet that lists the amount each listed individual donates to the escrowed AWSC account.
We make this a public web page, so the world sees who donates what.
To lower the average Forbes 2% investment, we add America's 200 other billionaires to the list. Then we reproduce Forbes spreadsheets for America's top jocks, stars, CEOs, and corporations that paid no taxes.With the additional public spreadsheet donations from those financial blessed above, the Forbes 400 may make less than a 1% solution to reach a lot more MDGs, and dramatically reduce worldwide terrorizing.
If the AWSCNS proposal existed and the aforementioned spreadsheets were public, would you send voters to note who gave and who didn't? Might that influence some mega-rich to give who otherwise might not have?
Imagine how many more MDGs could be reached, how much smarter America, and how much more appreciative the world would be if 21,000,000 Americans served country and world peacefully for a generation.
Imagine if such a robust force existed how many other smart nations might develop similar service corps. What a world it could be if we gave big peaceful service forces a chance to keep our military forces in training and avoid the blood and hatred of future wars.
Many complain about failing to think outside of the box, about the world of unmet needs, about inequities... When outside-of-the-box solutions are offered, how many do something to implement the answers? What do you do? Do you believe the solutions offered here are too far outside of the box?
Why not go outside of the box to find out who among the super-rich is willing to spare some pocket change to involve more Americans in peacefully changing the world? Let's try rubbing less salt and more honey-coated money into our self-inflicted wounds.
