If I am elected as president addressing income inequality will require me to take several multi-faceted approaches that will target both structural issues and immediate issues in my country. Below are some of the strategies I would use to address the issue of income inequality in our country if elected as president.

Progressive taxation: I will implement a progressive taxation system where those who earn higher in the country will contribute a higher tax in the country than those who earn less.

I will increase the minimum wage: Increasing workers' minimum wage will help workers have a better standard of living in our country which will also help to reduce the wealth gap among people.

Affordable housing initiative: I will invest more in making sure people are been provided with affordable housing which will help me to address the high cost of living in my country. Other things that I would do are:

• Support workers right
• Establish universal healthcare and education
• Invest in job training etc.

What policies would you implement to improve healthcare access for all citizens?

Universal healthcare is what I would implement to improve healthcare access for all citizens. By expanding access to affordable healthcare, The playing field between low and high-income earners as more opportunities for upward mobility will be open to citizens which will help reduce the financial burden on poor families.

I would also improve the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to give room for public servants, civil servants, and private individuals as well. Every citizen would have access to affordable healthcare through the system that I would provide.

What strategies would you propose to enhance education and ensure equal opportunities for all students?

A universal education system is what I will propose to enhance education and ensure equal opportunities for all students.

Also, student loans are something that I will propose to enhance education and ensure equal opportunities for all students.
