Golden Age for American Children

Published | Video Starts at 02:32

At birth, every American child can begin their journey as an owner. A simple $1,000 investment from the Treasury, a Trump account without another dollar added, could grow to nearly $6,000 by adulthood. When families, friends and non profits invest alongside that child up to $5,000 a year, that same account can exceed 300,000 by age 18 and with patience, surpass a million dollars a decade later. This is how we turn hope into ownership, ownership into generational opportunity, and opportunity into dreams that come true. Choice, competency and capital gives every child, regardless of background, a real head start. (02:32–02:46)
