I would legalize Marijuana ,and prostitution , (that would almost decimate organized crime ) , I would clear Deathrow (dont ask how) and revamp the American Justice system (judiciary) , Welfare would be for those that could work and couldnt find work (think CCC or WPA here ) , those that were unable, would be covered , (nationalized insurance , like canada ) , I would develop internal economy , by upgrading education standards , and subsidizing industry backed technical/incentive programs , and a flat tax for all , 10 pct of gross , no excuses, or BS . let everybody pull their share of the load .

My ideas....
1. I would kill the tax cuts for businesses that export American jobs and add rather larger tax penalties for doing so. 2. I would kick the **edited** marriage issue out of the federal courts and leave it up to the states just like it's always been. 3. I would federalize the school system. I would take it out of the states hands because they can apearently not handle it. The schools would be funded by the federal government and the federal government would say what they must teach. 4. I would raise the military budget for increased pay, training, and R&D funding. 5. I would stop **edited** footing around with the war on terror. I would stop trying to make everyone happy and get dirty with the people spreadin the dirt. By this I mean, I would handle our enemies like we used to, ruthlessly and efficiently and not worry about every single building we blow up or every arab we kill and also not worry about what everyone thinks about these things. In short, I would do to the middle east what we did to Japan and Germany in the fortys even if it means keeping CNN off of our backs so we can do what needs to be done. 6. I would make every drug violation after a rather minor point a federal crime and make very harsh sentences the norm. 7. I would revamp the war on drugs and include it in the war on terror. Those columbian drug lords are killing more people than Bin Laden ever did. 8. I would completely cut taxes on gas and cover the loss with bigger taxes on cigarettes and alcohol. 9. I would also encourage drilling in the U.S. and pump billions into the development of practical electric/hydrogen/whatever-isn't-gas vehicles. 10. I would reassure medicare's life and make sure everyone that needs it has it. 11. I would NOT make Social Security for those who can work. Instead I would give them temporary funds and make a data base of job seekers that business would get paid to look at first. 12. If things were bad enough I would start public works like the ones in the great depression years. 13. I would impose more taxes on imported major purchases like cars, ect. and drop taxes on U.S. made products. 14. I would allow local police to question any person they suspect of being an illegal alien. If it turned out that they were, they would be immediately deported. 15. I would make it manditory for new imagrants to learn english before they are granted citizenship. 16. I would make it illegal for Universities/Business to accept/hire minorities just because they are minorities. I would take a lot of the "reverse" racism out of our nations policies. 17. I would also make it harder for people to sue over stupid crap. No money would be rewarded if no money was lost. Pain and suffering doesn't count. So there ya go. Edited by .Ryan |

Ryan...
Some of those ideas were just plain idiotic (like the ones about no social security and the drug punishments). When I got hurt at work, you can bet your <behind> that I wanted the money for lost wages; and I got it (or 70% of it). The war on drugs is costing more than it's worth. Just legalize some "softer" drugs, and tax them. The amount of money saved from not fighting them, in addition with the tax revenue, would bring in some big bucks. If you started taxing foreign goods more (like you said you would), you'd start an international trade-war. Not a good thing, as we saw with Bush's dumb-arse move with the steel industry. |
