What's Possible

A Different Future
Is Possible

If a leader has the courage to take the deal — stop the wars, fund the people, redirect Wall Street to Main Street.

Click to return

Historic leadership. Real results. A golden age for America — paid for not by the working class, but by the speculative class on Wall Street.

The Solution

The Minnesota
Model

A Financial Transaction Revenue system — a micro-tax on Wall Street speculation — redirected entirely to the Mississippi River region. No federal approval required.

01
📈
Wall Street Trades Billions Daily

High-frequency algorithms execute trades lasting milliseconds, producing zero real economic value for Main Street citizens.

02
⚖️
A 2.5% Financial Transaction Tax

Like the UK's Stamp Duty Reserve Tax, a 2.5% FTT on speculative trades captures revenue from the speculative class — not working families. Stabilizing at 1.5% over 25 years.

03
🏡
Directly Back To The People

Every dollar goes to the 10-state Mississippi River Coalition. No federal middleman. Constitutional via Interstate Compact. Minnesota First.

$1.2–$1.5T

Estimated Annual Revenue

From the Financial Transaction Tax on Wall Street speculation — redirected entirely to the Mississippi River Coalition states and their citizens. Minnesota First. Built for 100 years.

The Architect

The Man Behind
The Contract

Troy Ellis
Policy Architect & Author

Troy Ellis

Policy Architect & Author of the Contract for America's Future

Troy Ellis isn't a politician or a billionaire — he's a Midwest native who did the math. Recognizing that federal gridlock would never solve regional economic crises, Ellis drafted the Minnesota Model as a pragmatic, populist blueprint.

He's the underdog who wrote the contract. Now he's bringing it to the dealmaker.

The Math

Transparent
Numbers

We rely on established macroeconomic theory regarding Financial Transaction Taxes — not speculation, not fantasy.

Legislative Initiative
Wall Street
Speculation
Tax Plan

Senator Bernie Sanders is proposing a small tax on high-volume Wall Street trades to raise billions for working families — without raising taxes on ordinary Americans.

This focuses on speculative and high-frequency transactions — not everyday investors or retirement accounts.

When Wall Street profits from rapid-fire trades, Main Street should benefit too.

Revenue Potential
The 2.5%
Concept

By applying a 2.5% tax on speculative trades, models suggest raising $1.2 – $1.5 trillion nationally.

$1.5T Annual Revenue Framework

We propose capturing this through an Interstate Compact — requiring no federal approval.

Targets high-frequency algorithmic trading — not legitimate long-term investment.

Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

No. This is a grassroots coalition asking him to adopt this framework. We believe his populist "America First" base would strongly support a plan that defunds Wall Street speculation to fund Main Street — but he has not yet agreed. That's why we need your signature.
Yes. States have the constitutional authority to form Interstate Compacts to manage regional economic initiatives. The Mississippi River Coalition would operate under this well-established legal mechanism. Over 200 interstate compacts already exist.
Studies show minimal impact on long-term legitimate investment. The goal is to curb millisecond computerized high-frequency trading that creates market instability — not to penalize retail investors, 401(k)s, or retirement accounts.
Because the current system requires a figure with immense political capital willing to bypass traditional establishment channels. The campaign title is a direct challenge: prove your populist credentials by taking this deal. The contract is on the table.
Most FTT proposals send revenue to the federal government where it gets absorbed. The Minnesota Model keeps revenue at the regional level, controlled by the 10-state coalition, distributed directly to citizens. No federal middleman. No bureaucratic black hole.
The Mississippi River Coalition starts with states connected by the Mississippi River watershed — a natural economic and geographic corridor. The model is designed to be expandable. If it works for 10 states, it can work for 20. But you have to start somewhere.
