So you were elected President of the US? What will your priorities be initially?

[michael1469]

1. Minimum tax on corporations and people.
2. Shredd citizens United because it corrupts politics. If money is allowed to be free speech, then the people without have now speech.
3. Term limits
4. Ditch the 2 party system for a odd number coalition style congress so we can get shit done like adults. Including a polical ottery of 1/3 of representives.
5. Transaction Tax for stock markets.
6. Healthcare all
7. Social security tax on all $ income and stock market transaction.
8. Cap property tax at 10% of homes sales price. Banning local govt from speculation of value and taxing speculatively.
9. Deficit elimination. Pay down national debt.
10. Deny renewal of govt funding bases on spending it all mentality. Govt spending should be like running a household budget wo credit cards.
11. Better public transportation.
12. Invest in R and D
13. Invest in renewable resources
14. Require employers to offer 90% of jobs as FT.
15. Raise Minimum wage to exceed that of poverty.
16. Require higher pay for PT employee to compensate for lack of benefits.
17. Medicare allowed to negotiate prices...
18. Making in law that federal elected officals must release taxes.
19. Elected officials can't be evovled in policies effecting there "careers"... ie say making policies effecting oil right when previously an oil exec.



Thats just for starters...

If I were elected, I would already have achieved my major task (and campaign motto):
'' MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN "

I might think of generating a 'dual system' where people can (but don't have to) join a socially supporting 'system' that counters capitalism; not as rivalry or replacement but just as a parallel option or alternative.
The last few months have laid bare the major flaws of how the U. S. of (N) A ticks. I'll set up workshop groups dedicated to work out adjustments or replacements. With a binding deadline.

Minor (humorous?) details:
- abolish speed limits on desert roads
- limit airtime for broadcasters (not to reduce freedom of speech, but to improve its overall quality)
- lists of gun owners (with photos) are displayed publicly, i. e. at bus stations or school premises; otherwise: shoot as much as you like, but don't shoot at each other
- remove Trump's portrait in the White House; the basement looks suitable
- find a job for my first lady (it was me who was elected - not her)

1. Declaring Antifa a terrorist organization and all of its members as dangerous criminals.
2. Strip the MSM of the legal protections that allow them to spread obvious lies without retribution. As the saying goes falsely shouting "FIRE!" in a crowded theater does not qualify as Freedom of Speech.
3. Immediately copy Canada's immigration rules as our own whereby candidates have to score sufficient points for various skills, education, health, and other attributes before they can apply for entry: citizenship follows in a few years depending on their behaviour.
4. All illegal entrants to our Nation to be IMMEDIATELY deported without and SJW/snowflake exceptions.
All immigrant candidates MUST apply at US Consulates or Embassies in their country of residence.
5. Cannabis to be declared a controlled substance with the same rules as tobacco.
6. The penalty for the unlawful possession of a handgun to be five years, 10 years, and 20 years for each successive conviction - no exceptions.
7. The penalty for using a handgun while committing a crime to be 20 years.
8. The penalty for using a handgun to kill a person while committing a crime to be immediate execution upon conviction by trial.
9. Institute taxation-supported Universal Healthcare as practised by every other Western Nation.
10. Tax all religious institutions and individual "ministers" as businesses: real religions would disperse most of their funds through charitable activities, not private jets and luxury cars and homes for their leaders, and thus would not be paying any taxes.
11. Declare myself as a living God and demand a nice cabin in the Adirondack Mountains as my Temple.

Well first I'd invade Germany.

After capturing the army I'd go on to Russia and defeat them.

By that time my first week is passed in the oval office.

Second week I'd golf. Then I'd do Japan.

The rest of my priorities are kinda similar to yours, except what's wrong with our health care?

I think however the companies should be obligated to insure the employees.

People like McDonald's and taco bell are not covered in the slightest. There oughta be a law like the 3rd month at the job you have to receive insurance

I would decentralize power as quickly as possible, establish local lines of representation and cooperation with expanding regional circles to promote both economic and ideological cohesion. I would then seek to abolish all the government programs that this new network would replace, replace our tax system with voluntary funding on a by-project basis. Any project unable to attract sufficient funding would automatically be considered unfit for public service.

I'd probably start by abolishing the federal reserve.
My next move would probably be to encourage the UN to adopt the same model, as its funding would depend on it.

Fair elections. Nothing can be properly accomplished in the current system, we need fair elections for politics to progress, so I think better election systems are a priority above all else. Simply put, I want the power in the hands of the people, and the officials working their asses off to appease everyone out of fear of being voted out in favor of someone better. Two parties leads to both side not giving a fuck because you have no better option, they're both equally bad so your only options under the current system are to either give in or give up.

A bether healt sistem, free education, make the relationship whit NATO more strong and make olso the member of it to grow theyr suport for the NATO as well.
A more agresiv politic aginst Russia so they can give up to the ocupation zones.
More sanctions on China so they will give up to the comunist regim.
Stabilizate the Midle East.

My first priority is to get everyone vaccinated against the pandemic as quickly and efficiently as possible. I would leave Trump and his band of outlaws to the justice department. Getting money into the hands of consumers and out of the hands of the rich individuals and corporations, so that we can get the economy moving again. The climate and environment are important but we can't deal with that if we don't have the money coming in to the federal coffers.

[psychoticanimallover]

Outlaw cars.

Ban procreation.

Bump up the tax belt of anyone who attends Church.

Eradicate capital punishment except in cases of animal abuse.

[Jersey2]

Eliminate waste, inefficiency and corruption in the government. From that billions of dollars can go to help people. Citizens will also have more faith in government and its programs. The corrupt will be in jail and not hampering the good work.

[codyccc]

Remove all religous tax exemption and make them pay 100 year or whatever they were founded back pay with interest and give all the money to nasa to prefect asteroid mining

[Mijopapi215]

Disband the government start over get rid of political parties. Defund the media. Only allow local news stations who will only put out real information not propaganda like we see now with cable news.
