In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

I live in the USA, and if I could be dictator for a day, I'd pretty much turn us into a "Scandinavian liberal paradise".
First, I'd institute a single payer health care system. Then, I'd enact stricter gun control laws. Then, I'd create an actual welfare state. I'd pass an emissions trading scheme or a carbon tax. I would abolish tuition on public universities. I'd raise the minimum wage and make sure people get paid vacation days, etc. I'd also change the electoral system to a parliamentary system with proportional representation for when my dictatorship ends. I'd also limit private funding of political parties and campaigns, block corporations, unions, and super-PACs from spending whatever they want on getting someone elected. I'd also legalize same-sex marriage and marijuana. Also, just for shits and gigs, I'd make a national holiday for the celebration of pizza. (and it'd be a paid day off, of course)
I mean, I'd also look at abolishing the whole Tea Party but I guess I could leave political freedom in place.
If you were dictator for a day, what would you do to your country?

I'm going to make you the Tsar of the USA. Now.
