Government
•Implement strict laws about who may vote, though they may not be related to race, creed, gender, &c. Make IDs compulsory for voting, and make said voting laws related to intelligence and knowledge about government and economics. Infeasible. It would lead to whomever chooses who votes having all of the power.
•Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution. The seventeenth amendment is similar to something I would want for Canada's senate.
•Repeal the Affordable Care Act (or whatever it's technical name is) and implement a universal healthcare system.
•Outlaw the death penalty.
•Implement punishments such as flogging (private for women, public for men) for petty crimes such as theft. WHAT THE FUCK?!
•Implement a simpler income tax system, with those making under $50,000 a year paying 15%, those under $250,000 paying 20%, and those above $250,000 paying 25-30%. Meh. Too low and not progressive enough.
•Prohibit women from serving in combat roles in all branches of the federal military. Need I explain why this is coloured FF0000?
•Redirect more of the military budget to the salaries of those serving, instead of building so many more ships and such.
•I'm sure someone is going to ask, so uphold the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." That means don't have it, right?
•Drop the voluntary enlistment age to 16.
•Pass laws stating that anyone who is caught driving or operating a vehicle or plane while under the influence will have their license revoked for five years, those who drive (or fly) without a license will be jailed for two-six years, and those that cause another person's death or grievous injury will be jailed for life. Uh, no. First, five years is a long time. Second, life in prison for causing someone's death while you didn't even have full control of your faculties? Why not just draw and quarter drunk drivers?
•Begin using corporal punishment in schools again, and teach discipline and morality along with other subjects. NO.
•Put the schools (still controlled by the states) under federal supervision, sending federal inspectors on surprise visits to schools several times a year and observing their students' records, and sending extra funds to those schools that are not doing well. Set high standards, so that, as a NS issue says, "even the smart students will sweat."
•Redirect a lot of the welfare budget to helping people find jobs. People on welfare are able to find jobs to apply to. They're just not accepted because of discrimination against the unemployed.
•Abolish term limits.
•Outlaw "Executive Orders," except with approval from the Senate.
•Pay off foreign debt by heavily taxing marijuana, and redirecting 10% of each of the budgets (environment, military, &c) to it. Leave that debt held by U.S. citizens. Heavily taxing it? Dealers could sell it for less than what would be required to pay off foreign debt.
•Let private companies keep up (not own) national parks and forests, in return for governmental recognition and thanks (big-time advertising). Corporations cut corners to save money; sweep things under the rug.
•Return to the PATRIOT Act's original form.
•Reduce corruption in government by punishing bribery and other such crimes with removal from public office, banning from ever holding public office again, and being arrested and imprisoned for 10-20 years. All but the imprisonment.
•Pass laws stating that only those born in the United States or one of their territories may hold public office in any capacity. How about no? People don't get to look at a line of women who just had sex and choose which one to go into.
•Retake the Panama Canal, and various other former territories. Encourage Britain, France, and Germany to do the same.
It's ours. The only reason Panama is even a country is because we wanted a canal there and Columbia said no.
Social
•Repeal Roe vs. Wade, making the killing of the unborn illegal except in cases that endanger the mother's life.
•Pass a law or laws giving the state government freedom to crush any riot or protest it deems appropriate, and allow the state to request federal troops if they deem it necessary. If the state's not doing anything bad, they have no reason to fear the people.
•Keep the federal government out of marriage, and let each state decide what laws to make about the institution.
•Legalise marijuana and tax it heavily to pay off the debt to foreign countries. Already addressed.
•Repeal the ban on automatic weapons.
•Pass a federal law saying that it is legal to use lethal force on someone invading your property. If you add in "if you feel that your life is in danger" then okay. How you said it makes it possible for me to invite someone into my home, tell them to leave and then crack their skull open with an axe.
•Prohibit persons that have a criminal record relating to violent crimes and those with mental disorders from owning firearms.
•Ask each state to up their police budget (and possibly give them money to do so), to put more men on the streets especially in the 'bad parts' of the cities.
•Legalise duelling with government-approved seconds. Unless you mean non-lethal duelling, no.
•Pass a federal law effectively repealing all state laws stating that restaurants and stores must have separate rooms and ventilation for those who want to smoke, or that you may not smoke in certain areas (excluding doctor's offices and hospitals). Smoking in public harms non-consenting people.
•Outlaw euthanasia.
•Repeal all federal laws and judgements regarding religion, deeming them unconstitutional according to the First Amendment.
•Have rapists castrated. Condition: Those who are "rapists" according to the law basically saying that if you have sex with someone underage it was rape should be exempt from this.
•Outlaw bestiality.
•Strictly implement the Smith Act, and vigorously and enthusiastically punish treason and sedition.
•Implement the United Kingdom's alcohol laws.
