Answer 1

Strict interpretation of the US Constitution, no PC, and stop ignoring laws that are being broke and rein in Congress...

Answer 2

What we had after FDR until the R party started ripping it apart over the past decade. I like to call it a pseudo capitalist-socialist structure.

You see a pure socialist structure doesn't work because you will always have those that want more than other and think competition is the only way to progress.

At the same time, you will always have those that believe there is no hurry for progression, that there is more to life and do not wish to compete. This group wants no classes of ppl where all are equal no matter their job, bank acct balance or athletic ability.

I think the best of the best is a combo of the two...like this: say when you are born, you are guaranteed some small... SMALL piece of land.. like 1/4 of an acre somewhere. This is just for being a future tax paying citizen. That sounds socialist right. BUt then add in that you can choose to advance yourself through college, etc... and make more IF YOU CHOOSE to.

Some would argue, 'why support the deadbeats?' Those deadbeats have less for producing less in society. You see, not all ppl have ambitions that are the same and even some have none but to live a simple life. While others might have ambitions to be the next Bill Gates.

I've always liked my idea thinking it was the perfect structure to satisfy both sides.

And I almost forgot, the reason I thought about this before was down the lines of stopping class warfare. We actually had almost what I have described... well were headed that way.. then things reversed after Nixon. Ppl don't realize that if you oppress the poorest of the poor and continue this... eventually they revolt.. either with more crime or a complete revolution.

Answer 3

Although the US has done fairly well over it's short life, particularly in the last century, I think that no matter how carefully a set of rules for government are planned out, succeeding generations of human beings will always find ways of gaming them for illicit advantage. Assuming the rules aren't set up to provide illicit advantage to some faction from day one.

Neither can there ever be any guarantee that the people in charge will be capable of effectively dealing with every challenge to the nation that comes along, no matter how they
are elected or appointed.

There is no such thing as an ideal political system. There is only the opportunity to take action for the time being, until the next threat rises.

Answer 4

Basically what the US has, but with very short term limits for the politicians so they can sit their and work the system the way they do now.

The founding fathers never intended for congress to have a retirement plan. They were suppose to come for a short time then return to their previous occupation.

If there were shorter terms the lobbist would have less influence and the politicians wouldnt know all the ins and outs of filling thier pockets and they would pander less for votes and do what is right

The United States current political system except ban the party system.

Answer 7
