If you could be President of the USA; What changes would you make to improve our society? Be descriptive!?

Question

Great answers so far. Keep em coming!

Answer 1

1. Put God and prayer back into our schools. Our country was built on Christianity. For those that do not believe, they don't have to participate, but the believers far out weigh the non-believers.

2. Bring Capital Punishment back the way it use to be. Silently putting someone to sleep is not punishment. Death in itself is, but the way it is done now......well we all have our own opinions.

3. Get control of our Government. I don't care who is sleeping with whom, our Country and the Constitution comes first.

4. Stop handing out money to lazy fools that play the system and live basically for free. No more Welfare.

5. All illegal aliens from ALL countries would be sent back to where they came from. This would open up millions of jobs for our own Americans.

6. Stop interferring in other countries battles, unless America is threatened.

7. Stop depending on so many other countries for oil. We have enough surplus here in our own country, why are we not using it?

8. Medical/Health Coverage should be available to every American. The cost of health care is ridiculous! Corporate Insurance Companies should all be fined for gouging, and/or shut down for it.

9. Foriegn Policies should be settled between the two heads of each country. No wars unless we are attacked or threatened.

10. Anyone that commits a crime against any child......life in prison without parole.

Just a few.....but there are so many more. We could all go on and on, however, the world will never be like it was 40 years ago. We could play outside until dark and never worry about being raped, kidnapped, or murdered. Our mothers could stay at home while our fathers went to work. We could jump on our bikes and ride all day and night and not have to worry about disappearing forever. We helped our neighbors, we treated everyone as we would want to be treated. We didn't fear them. And we never disrespected our Teachers or Parents. Sadly, it is a whole different world now.

Answer 2

What a great question! I would give the power of the country back to the people where it belongs. Our fore fathers made this country for the people and by the people, not for politics, personal attacks, and war, but for freedom. I would develop a true communist or socialist society. All money, and all resources would go toward the common good. No one person will get a paycheck, or decide what to do with the money. Everything is voted for by the people, but the day to day operations is taken care of by a group of people voted on by the people. This way, all of our money combined, we can take care of debt, put money into improving our schools and medical facilities, and take care of the poor and homeless. The rest of the money would then be dispersed among the people for their day to day needs. There would be no poor and no rich. Everyone would be treated as equals and therefore would help with crime. Everyone would live the same way, in government subsidized housing giving more room for famrland and power facilities. Everyone would work together for the common good, because what is bad for one person affects the other. The problem with this philosophy is of course our arrogance, we want more money and power than the other person. Also, no one is willing to change. And of course the negative connotaion Communism has. However, what I am describing is a true communist society with a democratic twist as opposed to the Marxist, Hitler, Bolshevik, and red China ideal of communism is. If you watch Star Trek Voyager, you'll get an idea what I am talking about.

Answer 3

1. Legalize drugs. Prisons are full of stupid young men who could be out working jobs to support their families. Instead they're laying around being supported with taxpayer's money.

2. Remove The Patriot Act and anything similar. The US is not a Police state.

3. Pass a resolution so that the US cannot deploy troops without a nationwide vote and Congressional approval. No more warlord Presidents.

4. Overhaul the Electoral system. We're a Democracy.

5. Remove the CIA. Not a Police State. We don't need secret Police.

6. State-approved grants for research on renewable energy sources. We need to think about our future.

7. The Constitution displayed in classrooms. Better than any Flag or Cross.

Answer 4

Put the draft back in. I think too many young people have it too good. They think the country owes them something. They don't appreciate the military. Put them through basic training at least.
Crack down on crime. Stop pampering criminals in prisons. Prisons should not have computers and TV. Make it very unpleasant, so they think twice before committing crimes. That includes the prisoners in Guantanamo. I would take their privileges, too.
Stop college students from drinking and acting up on spring brake.
Put those who buddy up with the likes of Hugo Chavez in their place by fining them. After all they got rich living in this great country. My blood just boils when I hear some of those movie stars.

Answer 5

This is a difficult question. It's a tough position. I'd actually see myself more in a supporting position.

Issues that are important to me:
More Real, Good Paying Jobs for Americans
Health care for all
Education for all all the way (PhD)
Job Training
Tough Regulations and penalties for big business
Common Sense: what is right and what is wrong
Doing Right by your fellow citizen
No more cheating and lying
No more half attempts
No more rewards for half brains
No more nepotism
Meritocracy only

How to implement? That's the hard part.

Answer 6

1. Get rid of big box stores in favor of small working class family businesses and ensure all US foreign workers have the same work rights as US citizens.
2. Any able body man or woman would get jobs not welfare. 3. Cut the Bible KKK belt off from the rest of the US. They can have their racist and brainwashing religous KKK.
4. Apoligize to the World for electing moron Dabya.
5. Remove Bolton, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito and replace them with O'connor's.
6. Apoligize to Central American countries.
7. Let the US people know what the Banana Republic is and the Iran-Contra affair, along with all the others.
8. People making less than 30K would pay only 7% taxes a year.
9. Get rid of the US trillion dollar debits to China and Japan. This is the US not the United China of America.
10. Return diplomacy to reduce war.
11. Allow the Iraqi's to have full control over oil profits rather than allowing bush's friends to profit.

Answer 7

Get rid of the patriot act.
overhaul the election process to eliminate electoral college.
change the tax code to a federal sales tax hybrid system....with 5% flat income tax accross the board....no shelters. Food, beverage, and medicines nontaxable.
outlaw lobbying
universal healthcare
legalize marijuana
Relinquish the power to wage war back to congress.
Make each fiscal budget available to all citizens online so they can see for themselves where every penny is being spent..

Answer 8

I would change the foreign policy that doesn’t serve US interests now.
And would have very good relations with oil reach countries.
-With this I would reach peace and economic growth.

I would push universal health system that every US citizen would be covered.
-With this I would prevent any disasters from terrorist attics in virus forms.
Reduce the spending for the health system, provide security for US citizens.

I would lower taxes to those companies that produce their goods in US.
-With this the unemployment will be reduced.


In the summery these are:
Mind
Body
Wealth

Answer 9

Reduce education costs
Subsidize health insurance for everyone dependent upon income levels.

Treat terrorist suspects with decency, so it won't lend credibility to their talking points to recruit more. Once they are convicted of heinous crimes, I would have the arms and legs bound, and have them thrown into a hog pin, and tape the entire outcome and post it on the internet for all who are thinking about following in their footsteps.
