Even though I would like to see a "how to do grown up things" class. I think the internet can do that for you.

Schoools introduce you things to make you well rounded. If your school never taught you history because "you didn't like it." People would be walking about not knowing that WWI occured, or about HItler. Anything past. How Egypt was the first civilization, ours roots. Or science, math, etc. I don't agree with specialization in schools, people are introduced to these topics to see which they like and don't.

chin, I'm pretty damn sure most people know what subjects they like by the time they reach high school. given there is 5 years in elementary, and 3 in middle school, that's 8 years. and as for the I think internet can do that for you, well internet can also teach you any subject if you look it up, so that's a pointless point you just made. I would rather learn how to do taxes and write a resume, then spend a year in art. also I'm pretty sure you can be fairly well rounded by the time you reach high school as well. elementary and middle school would be enough time to teach the basics, and once reaching highschool you can decide if you want to stay rounded, or start specializing.

I remember I had no idea what I wanted to do in highschool. And people always change, especially as teenagers. Just my opinion.

some people don't know what they want to do in highschool, that is true. but allowing students to start choosing their classes once their in highchool would be a good thing imo. students who don't know what they want can still choose a variety of classes, but it would be THEIR choice now, not the schools. and the ones who think they know what they want to do, and PURSUE that goal, and choose classes that would help them in the pursuit. honestly by the time your in highschool you should be able to start making some choices for yourself.

one thing the government could do is increase taxes for some people and decrease them for others

0-30,000 a year 0% tax
30,001-50,000 5% tax
50,001-70,000 7% tax
70,001-150,000 10% tax
150,001-250,000 25% tax
250,001-1mill 40% tax
1mill-5mill a year income 50% tax
5mill+ enjoys a nice and tasty 80% tax rate

this would keep the rich people from getting richer at a ever faster and faster rate then the poorest get richer currently the worlds richest 1% holds around 20% of the worlds wealth

That isn't going to do anything. A nice chunk of the world's wealthiest people are not US Citizens, so US taxes don't apply to them. Furthermore, the poor don't create jobs. The less money the wealthy have, the less likely they are to expand their businesses or invest. On top of that, you could tax the every US tax payer that makes over $1M per year at 100% and it wouldn't make a dent in the US budget. The US Government should not follow a for profit business plan on how to balance a budget. You don't balance the US Budget by increasing revenue, you balance it by decreasing costs and cutting waste. A bulk of the US budget is nothing but waste.

it also helps to remember that generally the people who hold power, are also people who are rather wealthy. and since humans are naturally greedy, the bulk of them would never willingly make laws that would help someone other then themselves. for example, the president of the US earns 400K yearly, JUST from his salary as president, not taking into account various benefits. and even once retired, and NO longer president, they receive around 200K yearly for LIFE, aswell as several benefits and protection... despite no longer holding office. most presidents were also already wealthy, before gaining office.

Lately, the trickle down theory of economics has been brought to question as to whether it really works. Seems in the last decade or two, the trickle down has slowed considerable and remaining has been diverted to places where labor is cheap. How is a capitalist to make money when the damn domestic labor force want enough money to eat AND afford place to live ?
