Abstract
This article aims to propose the creation of a marketplace mechanism that can create significant wealth for the poor and low income citizens of a nation. The innovative approach described here is to create legislation that allows for the creation of a new product for investment targeted to low-income families. The distinguishing feature of this product is that it creates wealth without imposing negative externalities on the wealthy or future generations as traditional policy tools like taxes do.
