Thought for the Week: Celebrating Independence Day with Trump Accounts

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week

not implemented

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, what better way for Donald Trump to anchor his legacy in the minds of all young people born during his presidency than granting them a $1,000 contribution when their Trump Account is opened? However, as Michael Dell and other philanthropists have shown, we need to focus on the most disadvantaged in order to break the cycle of deprivation. The Share Foundation and Share Alliance show how to do this, alongside initiatives such as this new American starter capital account. Background music: 'Everything Has a Beginning' by Joel Cummins
