Exempt bottom 50% of wage earners from Income tax. Things will fall into place pretty quickly.

Go back to the tax rates that existed prior to 1964 (passage of the Revenue Act of 1964), adjusting for inflation, deem personal loans taken using stock as collateral to be a deemed sale and taxable, and put a Tobin tax on all Wall Street stock transactions.

Another factor in this historical process that many don't pay attention to, and was critical in the enshittification was the passage of the Revenue Act of 1964. It killed the US lower middle class (mostly white blue collar workers) who blamed their ill fortune on the much more famous law of 1964.

Another one that he could use
4. Impose a very small Tobin tax on all Wall Street stock transactions - it would raise revenue and stabilize the stock market.

So there are innovative ways that things can be done.

The well being of the society is not defined by the well being of the wealthiest or even the well being of the average or the median, but as per Matthew 25:40 it is the well being of "the least of them"
