Answer 1

ban gifts from lobbyists to any elected official in any position on any level of government

create a flat tax rate of 22% for all income classes

eliminate almost all regulations and taxes on stock trading and business (except for insider trading)

give a tax free year for anyone who buys a hybrid car

reform stautatory rape laws to creat a 3 year free zone, ex. 15 on 18 is legal, 16/19, etc

put alcohol privleges on a system similar to a driver's license: at 18 you have to get a permit, wait 6 or so months, take classes, to get a license

decriminalize marijuana up to 1/2 an ounce (this would not subject casual users to prosecution but crack down on dealers, whcih would help to eliminate it)

adopt a policy of isolationism similar to pre-WWI era (this will stop the hatred of America by foreign countries who are resentful of out interference)

eliminate no child left behind program:
- stop fining already underfunded school districts for inadequacies
- use the money we would have spent on out military (see above) and give every single school district the budget per student of the wealthiest state in the country
- pay for education of anyone who goes to graduate school and agrees to teach at a public school for 10 years after

not legalize gay marraige but create an identical status not called marriage that allows spouses to share insurance, pension etc, benefits that straight spouses are allocated
- I would also ban adoption of children by gay couples (I'm not saying youre not capable of being parents, I'm just saying that it is not fair to a child to not have 2 sexes for parents, both for psychological (look up the oedipus complex) and social reasons

allow gay people to join the military (c'mon guys, get over it)

create "drug zones" in major cities in small sections of neighborhoods with no people living there where drug selling and use will not be legal but will be "ignored" to keep violent criminals off the corners and bring life back to bad nieghborhoods

hire illegal immigrants to do goverment jobs that cant be filled in border states where they are bused up from mexico or live in designated camps that they are not allowed to leave unsupervised

give full health and other insurances to people in government jobs like the military and education in particular

Answer 2

Frankly, if I were president, I'd spend most of my time eliminating programs, rather than creating them. In my experience, the government that keeps out of my life is the best one I can hope for. I'm all for #1, for example, because that gets the government out of one more aspect of my life. However, I'm not convinced that they'd do any better preventing junk foods than they do preventing marijuana use. Just let it be...leave people to live their own lives.

I do think you have some interesting ideas, but before you actually get elected, I hope you'll work on some of the details. For example, I don't think you've thought through the price tags on some of these ventures. If you "fully fund" all social programs, there's no way you'll pay for them without going massively into debt. I think there may also be a conflict between your desire to not be a world police, and your desire to make war on dictators. But in essence, I think your heart is in the right place. Just realize that when you start doing this stuff for real, it gets a lot messier. Nothing works quite perfectly the way you'd like.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

I would repeal every law passed since 1970 and start over, helping the middle class, which is the backbone of this country, the ones that pay all the taxes and get no benefits from it. they let the rich, get richer, by not paying any taxes and support the poor with with all the tax based programs they get, this country has attacked the middle class for years, when they are successful at destroying the middle class, who's going to pay the bills (taxes).

Answer 4

If all of your initiatives were passed we would have to change the name of this country to "Liberalhellia"!

You have got to be the head of the American Bar Association or the ACLU, because the amount of regulation you will have caused would make the population 80% Regulators and Lawyers!
LMFAO-A few good ideas, but you left reality with about 90% of the stuff!

We do need the Government to expand the Medical programs the Military has to alliviate the load from un-insured and illegals on the private practice, and regulation of the (Very Un-)controlled substances!

Answer 5

Hahaha "right to be free" #47 + gun control #41? The 2nd amendment is the ultimate guarantee of our freedom.

Answer 6

Answer 7

drop 4,7 and about half of the repetive themes, keep it to a top XX list, and you got something.

Answer 8
