Provide funding to news channels that provide information about global events and expose the opinions of those that contrast with the popular American opinion.
Enact net neutrality.
Pay back families whose are recorded descendants of recorded slaves and indentured servants before the Emancipation Proclamation at the expense of the wealthiest Americans.
Pay back Native Americans for the land that was stolen from them and provide economic support to Native American reservations.

I know that this was based on something someone else started but it gave me a good place to start.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Pay back families whose are recorded descendants of recorded slaves and indentured servants before the Emancipation Proclamation at the expense of the wealthiest Americans.

This is wrong, in so many ways.

First of all, those wealthy people you're going to steal from have never owned slaves or indentured servants. Why should they pay for it?
No American today has ever been a slave. None of them, except perhaps the very oldest persons in a family, even knew a person that had been a slave. Why do they need to get a free handout?
If you're going to pay them what their wages should have been, sorry, they already got them. They got a home. They got food. They got clothes. They got taken care of in old age. They had a living wage.

Pay back Native Americans for the land that was stolen from them and provide economic support to Native American reservations.

Are you serious? You want to pay the Indians back for every inch of American land?! Do I even have to tell you how much this would cost?!

Well most of the wealthiest Americans have had their family wealth from slavery whether they'd be in the north or the south. And families who are descended from slaves were paid back a temporary minuscule amount after the Civil War and never again. If you look at the gap of wealth and poverty in the US a lot of it still goes back to the days of slavery, and that needs to be changed. And by the wealthiest Americans I don't mean the top 1% necessarily. I mean more or less the top 5% of the 1% who have so much money they don't even think about it. I think that's absolutely wrong, and most of them inherited their money from their parents who inherited that money from their parents and so on and that paper trail goes back to slavery. Most of those people didn't work to get their money, so I think they shouldn't be entitled to have that much at the expense of others. If you look at many black neighborhoods they don't even have enough wealth to have any local businesses larger than a cheap barber shop, so I don't see how it's wrong to give back what was exploited.

And most Native Americans are dead, and we never gave the ones that are still alive any reparations. What we did to the Native Americans was ethnic cleansing, and over 90% of the Native population was killed. We're not giving the small number of Natives today everything we took from everyone, but at least improving the settlements so that they have enough wealth to go to college and get the same opportunity a lot of Americans take for granted. And their reservations should at least be at the quality of middle income houses. For the Native Americans the money probably would come straight out of the federal reserve rather than from the wealthiest Americans, because that money and land was stolen by the government, not necessarily the people.

[Saluterre]

Economic policy
- Begin massive projects such as building Dams all across the U.S that don't require relocation of locals- Public works projects are good.
- Raise taxes on the wealthy - Yes, quite agreeable.
- Cut military spending - I agree, just as long as benefits aren't cut.
- Stop making pennies - Excellent point. Waste of money and resources.
- Remove all loopholes in taxes - Easier said than done, but okay.
- End the Bush Tax Cuts - YES.
- Start a massive investigation into every oil company in the U.S. If a single document is found that points to manipulation of oil prices, then all responsible will go to jail and a CEO from the government will run the oil company. - I agree broadly, but I think that the business should then be nationalized, converted to a worker cooperative, and sold back to the employees of said company.
- Force companies to give equal pay to illegal immigrants - Yes.
- Remove minimum wage - NO. Minimum wage gives consumers purchasing power needed to stimulate the economy.
- Give incentive to companies to manufacture and produce in the U.S - Agree, but we should also be punishing American businesses that move overseas with tariffs, as no amount of cost-cutting measures could overcome the loss of an American market.
- Give incentive to companies that use or invest in renewable energy such as nuclear fusion, solar, or wind. - Okay.

Social policy
- Legalize marijuana, privatize it, regulate it, and tax it- Yes; NO!; Yes; Yes. Privatization is not a magic word that makes things efficient.
- Legalize prostitution, privatize it, regulate it, and tax it. - See above.
- Legalize abortion for all States - Yes.
- Revamp the Death Penalty so it's far less costly than life in prison - No. The death penalty is a barbaric practice that should die out like feudalism or the rack.
- Get rid of Medicare and Obamacare in favor of Universal Healthcare - YES!
- Phase out Political Correctness and the softness of the youth these days - Um...I think I agree. Hardly a pressing issue, however.
- Remove Super PACs - Yes.
- Investigate all those involved in the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Publicly execute the ones in charge. - Yea-WAIT, WHAT THE FUCK?! Jail, yes. Kill, no.
- Audit the Federal Reserve - Possibly.
- Nationalize the Federal Reserve (much of the Federal Reserve is not public) - Yes. We need a national bank, too.

International policy
- "Oh hi Israel! You know the 3 billion we give to you annually? Yeah...I want it back." If they decline outright? I guess you don't need our troops to support you. Bye! - I suppose I agree. Also, we should support Palestinian admittance into the U.N.
- Open up diplomacy with Iran and get cheap oil - Eh.
- Open up diplomacy with Venezuela and get cheap oil - Yes. Try to convince ol' Hugo to liberalize the press, though.
- Open up diplomacy with Palestine and get cheap oil - Yes.
- Have a semi-interventionist policy where preemptive strikes are only used when there is a real threat to America's homeland or its territories. - Meh.
- Pull all troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and let them govern themselves as true sovereign nations - Yes.
- Apologize in front of the U.N and begin a long path to stabilizing relationships with the Middle East, Asia, and South America - Yes.
- Negotiate with China to lower our national debt with the threat of China having an economic crisis if America goes bankrupt. - Very true. Not enough people realize that they depend on us almost as much as we depend on them.

[Faolinn]

I have a long list of changes I want to make to this country.

1. Term limits for all officials with the possible exception of mayors. A nation that is not supposed to have a king should not have dukes or lords either.
2. Either introduce a plurality system or get rid of parties altogether.
3.Abolish the Department of Homeland Security. (Isn't that what the military, national guard, C.I.A., and F.B.I. are for?)
4. Scrap the Patriot Act
5. Make sure that healthcare and utilities are nationalized. (Other countries have prospered with nationalized healthcare. The essentials of life should not be controlled by those seeking only to make a profit.)
6.Outlaw donations from corporations to political groups or candidates.
7.Abolish the electoral college.
8.Make it possible for the public to vote an unsatisfactory leader out of office during their term.
9.Make lobbying illegal.
10.Pass an amendment to the constitution to help solidify the equality of people based on sex before the law.
11.Legalize gay marriage nation wide.
12.Make sure abortion is legal nation wide.
13.Enact a more fair immigration policy to make it easier for hard working potential citizens get a start.
14. Outlaw the teaching of creationism in public schools since they are a state institution and religion is not supposed to be a part of the government itself.
15. Increase the taxes on the wealthy heavily. They can live without that extra million.
16.Strengthen the power of unions.
17.Increase and strengthen environmental legislation and hopefully push through an amendment.
18.Fund research into green technology and sustainable living projects.
19. Enforce animal rights more strictly and force the food industry to provide the citizenry with more organic consumables.
20.Penalize all corporations that outsource from this nation.
21. Oultaw the death penalty and reform our prisons.
22. Reform the education system to allow for more individualized programs to help the students achieve their goals.
23. Reinforce the power of the 2nd amendment.
24. Make it harder for the government to legally perform wire taps and other surveillance maneuvers on citizens.
25. Reduce censorship greatly.
26. Mark the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist organization.
27. Introduce measures to make it easier for the president to be arrested and held accountable for war crimes.
28. Reduce the defense budget. I wouldn't say scrap it, but I think we spend a bit too much on it.
29. Fund programs that help students learn a second language. It is vital in an increasingly united world.
30. Create a people's forum that must be held annually so that the people can voice their grievances to the government directly and force the politicians to know their people.
31. Require military personnel to pick up another skill to make an occupation of rather than banking on being career soldiers.
32. Pass some form of sexual freedom law that protects that protects the legality of certain acts between consenting partners of appropriate age and of human species. (In other words pedophilia and beastiality would still be illegal. If in the event aliens arrive the law can be altered to allow them to have consenting relationships with humans.)
33. Do something to defend the rights of the youth.
34. End the war on drugs and legalize said substances for use so long as they meet strict purity guidelines.

This is assuming that the system would be kept.

[Horsefish]

- Phase out Political Correctness and the softness of the youth these days

Softness of the youth? I don't follow, most people are as squishy as they've ever been.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

- Begin massive projects such as building Dams all across the U.S that don't require relocation of locals

You are going to pay for this... how?

- Cut military spending

Our servicemen are already underpaid. Why not divert a good amount of the money that goes to building so many new weapons, and bump up their salaries? Of course, you could do both - just putting that our there.

- Stop making pennies

What if your change is .37? There is no good reason to stop, and a good reason to keep doing so, which I just listed.

- Remove all loopholes in taxes

Easier said than done. Exactly how will this be executed?

- End the Bush Tax Cuts

You realise those tax cuts benefit the middle class as well?

- Start a massive investigation into every oil company in the U.S. If a single document is found that points to manipulation of oil prices, then all responsible will go to jail and a CEO from the government will run the oil company.

Effective nationalisation of companies? No.

- Force companies to give equal pay to illegal immigrants

Wait... Are you serious? You realise that illegal immigrants are in constant violation of the law, and obviously have no respect for the government or our country? No one should be paying them at all. They are illegal immigrants.

- Remove minimum wage

Agreed.

- Give incentive to companies to manufacture and produce in the U.S

I like the goal, but not the means. Instead of spending even more money, why not raise tariffs on foreign goods? Companies will start manufacturing goods in the U.S. because it will be cheaper, and the government actually makes money out of it.

- Legalize marijuana, privatize it, regulate it, and tax it

Agreed.

- Legalize prostitution, privatize it, regulate it, and tax it.

No. Just no.

- Legalize abortion for all States

Yeah... That's already done. Anyway, I disagree. It should be outlawed.

- Revamp the Death Penalty so it's far less costly than life in prison

No. We need to abolish the death penalty.

- Get rid of Medicare and Obamacare in favor of Universal Healthcare

Agreed.

- Phase out Political Correctness and the softness of the youth these days

I like the goal, but what is the means?

- Investigate all those involved in the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Publicly execute the ones in charge.

- Audit the Federal Reserve

How about abolish it?

- "Oh hi Israel! You know the 3 billion we give to you annually? Yeah...I want it back." If they decline outright? I guess you don't need our troops to support you. Bye!

For how many years? What will you do if they, quite literally, can't pay us back? Also, that would be extremely dishonest and quite the stab in the back. Giving a country so much money, voluntarily, then suddenly demanding it all back. Wow.

- Open up diplomacy with Iran and get cheap oil

Why should we be friends with such a racist, intolerant country, that calls the U.S. "Satan?"

- Open up diplomacy with Venezuela and get cheap oil

What is with you and countries that the rest of the world considers evil?

- Open up diplomacy with Palestine and get cheap oil

Where?

- Have a semi-interventionist policy where preemptive strikes are only used when there is a real threat to America's homeland or its territories.

That's ok... I guess.

- Pull all troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and let them govern themselves as true sovereign nations

I agree about Afghanistan, but we have already pulled out of Iraq.

- Apologize in front of the U.N and begin a long path to stabilizing relationships with the Middle East, Asia, and South America

No.

- Negotiate with China to lower our national debt with the threat of China having an economic crisis if America goes bankrupt.

Actually, China doesn't have that much of our debt.

Also, aren't we already bankrupt? Or just slam broke?

Overall... I hate this plan.

[Death Metal]

I have a long list of changes I want to make to this country...

While I agree with most of your plan...

1. No. In fact, we shouldn't even have term limits on the presidency. If we don't want someone around anymore, we can just vote him out.
2. Terrible idea. This would just cause a jumbled mess.
3. DHS is necessary and also covers immigration.
4. Patriot Act has already been scrapped except for the parts that have actually yielded useful information. And those parts will be scrapped after the WOT is done.
7. Pointless.
8. We have that already, it's called a recall election.
19. Too much regulation.
20. How?
25. Reduce censorship ENTIRELY.
26. Pointless, they haven't killed anyone in decades.
34. Licensing and age limits too.

[Socialdemokraterne]

It took a while, but I responded to every single item.

Foreign policy:
Change the way we deliver foreign aid - make it more grassroots and make the aim to provide local populations with the ability to Ja! Double ja!
End the embargo on Cuba. Why do we even keep it around? End the embargo.
End the Afghanistan war. I have mixed feelings about this. We're trying to build a stable country, and that takes a long time.
Reduce the Iraq "embassy" size. I do not see why we should reduce the US embassy in Iraq.
Close all overseas bases. Some of them? Sure. All of them? No way.
Pressure Israel to recognize Palestine. I don't know enough to have an opinion on this.
Sign free trade agreements with as many countries as possible. If you do that you've got to simultaneously work toward better working conditions in the 2nd and 3rd worlds. Otherwise you'll just keep seeing sweatshops popping up like weeds.
As unbiasedly as possible denounce and condemn every country that abuses basic human rights By the UN's standards?
Relinquish our extra power in the UN by voting to repeal the security council How about just eliminating permanent memberships while keeping the council?
Relinquish US sovereignty and push towards democratic internationalism No. No, no, no, no, no. We're nowhere near a world where this would end well.

Economic policy:
Raise taxes on the wealthy. A lot. It's not that simple.
Cut military spending by 50%. In light of a later point on general defense spending you make, I find the concept (though perhaps not the number) amenable.
Close all tax loopholes. Great idea, but it will take a long time to do. Think decades of continuous effort.
Raise corporate taxes slightly. Our corporate tax rate is already among the highest in the industrialized world. The problem is loopholes, not the rate.
Stop making pennies. Seriously. OK...
Repeal Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid and any other healthcare systems in the US. Replace with universal healthcare. Ja! Double ja! Do eet!
Make welfare more focused on getting people rehired rather than simply providing monetary support. Ja!
Increase regulations and oversight on monetary transactions for those who are living off of government money. Got anything specific?
Increase NASA's budget significantly. Why?
End oil subsidies. Gasoline and heating fuel prices are going to jump. You'll have to time it right.
Focus on transitioning to renewable energy entirely and ending all dependency on non-renewable greenhouse gases Ja! Double ja!
Legalize industrial hemp A lot of states already have, you just have to get the federal government to back off.
Cut the defense budget in half at the very least - use that money to improve our education system, to provide any improvements to a good universal healthcare program, social welfare that's focused on getting people jobs, foreign aid programs, and rebuilding impoverished communities in the US This is conceptually sound, but the number is up for debate. I'm not really sure how much should be cut at this point, but it should conceptually be enough to support services such as those you describe without crippling agencies charged with maintaining public safety and law enforcement endeavors.
Tax the stock market Don't we already tax revenue made on investments, just at a lower rate than other forms of income?
Outlaw the use of slave labor for corporations that sell merchandise in the US. Impose minimum wage laws that apply outside of the US for American corporations. Ja! Double ja! And require that anyone that we enter free trade agreements with do the same.
Break up banks that are "too big to fail" Over time they would just grow again. The trick is to limit what they can and can't do with their holdings.
Require transparency in the banking system How so?
Require transparency in the federal reserve system How so?
Separate retail and commercial banks OK.
End subsidies to corporations favored by the government and require all subsidies to be voted from the grassroots. You want referendum to decide what is and isn't subsidized? That sounds pretty impractical.
Require referendum from the grassroots for anything relating to taxes. Some modifications to tax policies are decided by referendum already. To decide the entirety of tax policy at all levels by referendum is astonishingly impractical.

Social policy:
Replace marriages with civil unions. Legalize civil unions for anyone as long as it is consensual. Same sex, polygamy, whatever. Marriages can become a personal or religious thing. OK, I like this conceptually. The thing is, that contract comes with several benefits which could become problematic in cases of polygamy.
Legalize euthanasia. I'm fine with that, but only voluntary euthanasia.
Legalize marijuana. I see no reason why not.
Legalize all recreational drugs but enforce strong regulation on their distribution and provide education programs to inform people about the side effects and the health effects of the drugs. I'm hesitant to sign on with such a policy.
End the "war on drugs" and ban the privatized prison system and prison labor. While incarceration rates in the US are outrageous and sentence lengths are insane, I would sooner eliminate the election of judges than end private prisons. Private and public prisons are both better at different things, neither is obviously better than the other.
Create a democratic judicial system, where all candidates are required to have gone through law school. No. No elected judges. Introducing election of judges into the system has politicized it immensely, and the popularity of being "tough on crime" has resulted in harsher sentencing.
Make the supreme court democratically elected. NO. ELECTED. JUDGES.
Legalize prostitution. Absolutely. But require health screenings for both customers and vendors, provide for prostitutes' safety, etc.
Make the government completely secular. Easier said than done, though I like it.
End the electoral college. Make the system based on popular vote Are you going to treat every state as a single unit instead of as districts? How does it work specifically? I recently fell out of the favorable position on this and into the neutral position because there's a problem of political equality for rural voters.
Ban lobbying. Lobbying actually serves a constructive purpose, believe it or not. We need transparency, not a system without lobbying.
Ban political parties. Create a completely non-partisan democracy and extend the government down to local communities where everyone can participate. Nej. Double nej. Not only will parties still exist (you can't eliminate them, only change their form), but this sort of system is impractical for large populations.
Require that all campaign contributions that exceed $1000 are public. Ja! Double ja!
Make the government 100% transparent and require news channels to cover every bill passed in Congress. Have you ever heard of CSPAN?
Provide funding to news channels that provide information about global events and expose the opinions of those that contrast with the popular American opinion. Why don't you just write a letter to NPR or your local public television studio asking them to cover such issues? Same effect, less meddling in the media.
Enact net neutrality. I don't know enough to have an opinion on this.
Pay back families whose are recorded descendants of recorded slaves and indentured servants before the Emancipation Proclamation at the expense of the wealthiest Americans. Nej. Double nej. Universal tertiary education, universal healthcare, public works projects, these sorts of things can improve the quality of life for all people simultaneously. We're trying to build a society that transcends racial barriers, not one that enforces them.
Pay back Native Americans for the land that was stolen from them and provide economic support to Native American reservations. No.

Just noticed most of this is from my post

I would let the Space Brothers take over Earth, in return for being named Emperor.

[Death Metal]

The pennies thing is because pennies cost two cents to make.

Nevermind that pretty much every other form of currency ever has the same issue and it's never actually been a problem, and that the costs are made up by the costs of higher values of currency being proportionally cheaper to make.

It's just a factoid that people take WAY too seriously because economically speaking it doesn't matter at all.

[Valecia]

Keep producing fine women, lovely beaches, nice people, nice cities and maintain a good relationship with the UK.

[New Republic of Egypt]

declare war on Sweden and surrender in the same moment on the condition to become a part of it

[Death Metal]

Keep producing fine women,

Wait, are we talking about America, or Japan?

lovely beaches,

We've a lot of shitty ones too.

nice people,

Someone doesn't live in Florida.

nice cities

Case in point.

and maintain a good relationship with the UK.

With benefits!

Except that pennies are pretty much useless and a nuisance, and the reason we keep making them is because of the Zinc Lobby. On the other hand because of the demented US habit of pricing everything in 9's, eliminating pennies would cause immediate inflation.

[Nordengrund]

Here are mine:

Social Policies

Outlaw abortion

Make the government strictly follow the U.S. Constitution or else

Make the first and second amendments un- repealable laws

Allow freedom of religion, but ban secularism

Ban homosexual marriage and civil unions

Keep the death penalty

Economic Policies:

Promote free market capitalism

Support environmentalism

Add protectionism

Foreign Policies:

Non interventionism

Impose embargoes

Repeal the draft and the Patriot Act.

Well, then I did a two-for-one analysis/response and everything I said about the parts that are yours applies to you as well.

The pennies thing is because pennies cost two cents to make.

Nevermind that pretty much every other form of currency ever has the same issue and it's never actually been a problem, and that the costs are made up by the costs of higher values of currency being proportionally cheaper to make.

It's just a factoid that people take WAY too seriously because economically speaking it doesn't matter at all.

Except that pennies are pretty much useless and a nuisance, and the reason we keep making them is because of the Zinc Lobby. On the other hand because of the demented US habit of pricing everything in 9's, eliminating pennies would cause immediate inflation.

The UK does it too.

Pennies aren't really useless. Now the old-timey halfpenny, that's another story....

The real trick is to make them cheaper. Or go all-digital which has it's own problems we haven't worked out yet.

Here are mine:

Social Policies

Outlaw abortion NO!

Make the government strictly follow the U.S. Constitution or else Or else what exactly?

Make the first and second amendments un- repealable laws Um... they kinda are already.

Allow freedom of religion, but ban secularism That's a self-contradiction.

Ban homosexual marriage and civil unions FUCK NO!

Keep the death penalty Meh.

Economic Policies:

Promote free market capitalism I'd rather die than live under this.

Support environmentalism Finally, something that makes sense.

Add protectionism Eh?

Foreign Policies:

Non interventionism BOOO!

Impose embargoes Um, doesn't that contradict non-interventionism?

Repeal the draft and the Patriot Act. Pointless.

My marks in bold.

And now for you!

Social Policies

Outlaw abortion Awfully unpopular, that. You can have it on your wish list, but I don't see it happening bud.

Make the government strictly follow the U.S. Constitution or else Informal amendments happen all the time, you won't stop them. You can't.

Make the first and second amendments un- repealable laws Why so much attachment to the second amendment?

Allow freedom of religion, but ban secularism I...what? Allow freedom of religion, but refuse to allow the government to maintain a neutral religious position. What?

Ban homosexual marriage and civil unions NO. Nej, triple nej!

Keep the death penalty I don't think it's all that it's cracked up to be, capital punishment.

Economic Policies:

Promote free market capitalism No, though I would be able to compromise and get on board with streamlining existing regulations to diminish overhead and limit the potential for economic capture. How's that?

Support environmentalism Ja! Double ja! But in light of the above, I'm assuming you and I have different ways of doing so in mind.

Add protectionism Free market capitalism with protectionism? What new madness is this?

Foreign Policies:

Non interventionism Do you mean isolationism?

Impose embargoes On who? Why? This is looking less "free market" by the minute!

Repeal the draft and the Patriot Act. Conscription does not currently exist in the USA. Repealing the PATRIOT Act is something I'm on board with, though.

Well, I believe in the freedom to worship or not to worship as you please, but I do not think we should remove religion from the public just because it offends people. We have freedom of expression and people will be offended by something no matter what.

By non- interventionism, I mean not going to war with a nation unless we are attacked and negotiations failed and I do not believe in forcing our beliefs on or threatening another nation.

America

Yeah, when this is the American standard of beauty, I'll go with this instead.
