What would be your definition of a better America?

Question

What is the most important issues that you would like resolved in the future?

Answer 1

Better education - education that focuses not on how well you do on a standardized test, but in thinking and reasoning through a problem you are presented with. Education should also include a firm grounding in other cultures and on a variety of religions in order to counter the insularity and intolerance that has led to the current international situation. We've got a lot to be proud of and our own unique heritage, but we've also got a superiority complex that isn't entirely deserved and which leads to a lot of conflict.

Better health care - I know that a lot of people think that it's socialism to provide universal health care, but if you think about it, who's benefiting by the current system? Hospitals are going bankrupt because poor people can't pay thousands in medical bills. People are dying or needing expensive long-term care for conditions easily treatable in their early stages - but that were not detected because the patients had no insurance and therefore could not get the checkups that could have saved their lives. Their families are going bankrupt trying to pay for the medical care to save their lives. Businesses are losing millions because of workers who are either missing or working sick. The only ones making money are the pharmaceutical companies, and they're making a killing while taking us for all we're worth and then some.

Higher minimum wage. A person who works hard for 40 hours a week should not have to be on welfare to feed their family, and should be able to take their children to the doctor for their school shots without having to wonder how they're going to pay for food for the next week.

That's just the top three. But take care of those, and you've taken care of a whole lot of the problems that are plaguing our country.

Answer 2

1. Secure the Borders - Position troops along the borders and secure the coasts with troops and the navy. Any and all persons/vehicles approaching the US without authorization will be immediately destroyed with severe prejudice. The parts of NAFTA allowing mexicans and canadians into the country will be repealed.

2. Unite the hands of our generals - the president and congress would grow spines and remove the politics from fighting the war on terror. The liberal media would be treated like the treasonous communists they are, and also removed from the equation. The military would be allowed to KILL THE ENEMY, period.

3. Remove political party affiliation all together - We would take the advice of George Washington and remove political parties from our government. Candidates would be voted upon based solely upon their merits.

4. Attorneys would no longer be allowed to become judges and/or public officials. This would VASTLY improve our legal system by removing liberal fascist attorneys blaming everyone for everything from becoming liberal communist extremist judges and using that position to force their communist ideals on everyone else. As far as public officials, attorneys would no longer be able to foul our Government with their con games that average Americans dont even understand.

I could go on for hours, but i think this would be a great start.

Answer 3

A better America is one that can see the positives about itself and each other, can respect that everyone has a right to think, speak and vote on their opinions. A better America remembers the hard work that has gone on to keep this country going and doesn't take it for granted. A better American would be grateful there are still two parties and that we refuse to be dominated by right or left extremism or hate our neighbors because they are of the other party. A better American is still proud to be an American and feels sick when someone wants to burn our flag.

Answer 4

A better America would require that her citizens get into the habit of thinking instead of allowing themselves to be governed by inarticulate spasms of emotion and bull****ted by the glib and facile.

Above all, we need to loosen the grip of political correctness on our public discourse and sign on to the principle that whatever diversity may mean, it is not, repeat NOT, the antonym of assimilation. In other words, assimilation should trump diversity every time. I have nothing against diversity, whatever it means, as long as it doesn't get in the way of, or subvert, the traditional American melting-pot process of assimilation.

Whenever it does, if it does, diversity needs to be pushed aside, as gently as possible but as firmly as necessary, so that we can get on about the business of assimilation, without which our society and our country are doomed.
