Wilson thought that the government was having privacy problems, that there was too
much government involved in big businesses, that the tariff was too high and was causing
Americans to lose money, and that the United States was stuck in a cycle when it came to
government. To fix these problems he wanted to bring the government back to the people of the
United States, he wanted to bring back competition to solve government involvement and the
tariffs, and he wanted people to stand up for themselves and vote for who they actually want in
the elections. Wilson had many other problems and solutions in his book but theses were some of

Wilson had many ideas and plans that went into making his campaign speeches. He
wanted to make the government more of a public interest instead of having everything behind
closed doors, to fix that he planned to bring the government to the people and let them have a say

Wilson thought that the tariff was too high and that it was corrupting Americans of their pay and
their working conditions so he wanted to lower the tariff and bring competition back to fix low
wages and working conditions. Wilson also felt like America was stuck in a cycle when it came
to government. He wanted people to vote for who they wanted not for a political party. To
