Why Do People Everywhere Complain and Could Mandatory Savings Be the Solution?

Complaints seem universal – no nation is free from discontent. People want financial security, better wages, a higher human development index and reliable infrastructure. Improving wages, development and infrastructure depends on strong government revenue. Yet true peace of mind often comes from personal financial security. Confident individuals usually have savings or investments to fall back on. One way to achieve that security is a policy requiring all workers, citizens and non-citizens alike, to save and invest a portion of their income. This approach could build individual wealth over time without raising wages directly. In summary, universal complaints may only stop when people feel financially secure. Governments can support that by encouraging or mandating regular saving and investment, rather than just boosting pay.
