Next Wave, the mission

People continue to debate whether the taxing cycle, and practices of the current government are effective, and whether if they would serve the long-run purpose of balancing the economy, and then help us avoid repeated recessions in close successions. Why do we not simply start by reducing the taxes taking from lower income citizens, whilst increasing the taxes demanded from the richer portion of the citizenry?In fact, instead of considering pumping monies into organizations that have private policies to protect them from subsequent regulation, why do we not simply invest in basic domestic projects such as donating collected taxes from richer halves our country, to those areas where the economy is almost crashing (such as Detroit), so that these communities could invest in federally monitored processes geared at the reusing of old infrastructures, re-application or diversification of non-functional infrastructures, or even the implementation of programs geared at re-cultivating moderate to strong work ethics amongst the disenfranchised citizenry (homeless, veterans with handicaps, bottom laborers, uneducated immigrants already in the US, etc). Is it possible to lobby for such programs through simple advocacy, or through socio-political networking? Whichever is your answer, please explain your reason for thinking it possible or not, why, or else, how.
