If you were elected president, what would be the first thing you would change?

Question

be totally honest...tell the truth...if you were president how would you stop the cruel violence and sicknesses and corruption occuring today

Answer 1

I would invest billions (maybe even trillions) into global warming, renewable energy, free health care for everyone, diplomacy with other nations like Iran, & broadband for everyone.

Answer 2

First of all, US President's main job is Commander in Chief of the armed forces. The job is symbolic more than anything. He or she ain't King. and does not rule by Decree.

Next. One considers what the federal government is in charge of. Go read the US Constitution. It's not "cruelty, sickness and corruption". It's not teachers, hospitals, or education either. Fancy that. It's not a lot of things.

And I sure wouldn't Decree that rich people pay zero tax like poor people. Good frappin' grief!

I'm thinking that if I could wave that magick wand maybe I could Decree lotsa new money for transportation issues to be upgraded, to even include interstate highways, bridges, new generation long distance people-movers.

I'm actually puzzled about possibilities.

Answer 3

If elected president, my first order of business would be closing every single federal agency and signing an executive order suspending PATRIOT Acts I & II, Real I.D. and the Military Commissions Act. Once that was done, I would set my sights on longer-standing tyranny, such as dismantling Social Security, eliminating fiat currency and usurping the Federal Reserve and World Banks. The end goal would be the removal of the government from people's private and financial lives, and the allowing of the free market to rule instead of bureaucrats and their corporate supporters.

Answer 4

IF...
I would put much more (already collected) tax money aside for the education research purposes and increase of salaries for teachers. Health care system would be the next priority; some subsidies, I mean, so every citizen would have access to health care.
The third priority would be environment. Much more money in finding new, healthy ways to better living.

Answer 5

If I were elected president my first action would be to get rid of ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS immediately and irrevocably.

I would close our borders using the National Guard and the military services. Immigration laws would be changed so that anyone who entered illegally in the past would NEVER be allowed to immigrate legally and if caught in the US would be deported to a penal colony island somewhere in the pacific. There they would have plenty to keep themselves occupied just trying to survive.

I would also change the immigration laws and filing fees to reflect a sliding scale; if you have a marketable skill that is in serious need in the US you would pay the minimal filing fee for citizenship, if you have no marketable skills and would be a probable drain on the social serivices of this country you would have the highest filing fees based on the projected cost to the American taxpayer.

Additionally, I would ship every illegal in US prisons to aforementioned pacific penal colony to fight amongst themselves for survival (it eliminates the cost of housing these rejects and feeding them on US tax dollars).

Answer 6

What I would do is put forth legislation calling for the strict taxation of all churches of all denominations making them exempt from federal/state funding. I would take those billions and use it to give every American a free chance at college in addition to bringing down tuition costs. Most people dont realise how many billions of dollars go to subsidize unprofitable or bankrupt churches. I say any church,mosque or synagogue worth going to
can use their parisheners to sustain itself instead of a church welfare system lets put the money toward helping Americans go to College

Answer 7

Disband the CIA, NIS, and every other branch of the Shadow Gov't, then look to indict the various Foundations that operate it. Then I'd put the technology they've been hoarding out for the public to use. This would eliminate many of our social, environmental, and moral problems in a single move.

Answer 8

IF - And I am saying IF - I could make the changes - - I would strictly limit the term limits to one term for all Congress & Senate People and completely cut off all bribes and freebies given to them by the Special Interest Groups!!!!!!!!!!

And I would rescind their $5,000 guaranteed annual raise that they keep giving themselves every year!

No more pollitical dynasties here in this country!!!!!!!!! - for Either Party!

Second thing I would do would be to tax the Rich at the same level our lower classes are being taxed at!!!!!!!

No Tax Breaks for the Rich and Equal Justice for All!

Answer 9

Stop using money for needless research and testing and put it towards free education and health care for all US citizens. Money made in the US needs to stay in the US.

Answer 10

I'll start by throwing out the lobbyists.
