You are given supreme political power to control your country for 4 years

[Kidlicious]

Zero unemployment

Living Wage

Wealth Tax (abolish all others)

End homelessness

Single payer healthcare

End war in Iraq

Improve foreign policy

Bring back manufacturing jobs

35 hour work week

Better drug war with more resources devoted to helping those at risk and rehab

Much more control over industries like energy

[Lancer]

I would institute the Spanish inquistion! Nobody would expect that!

Originally posted by Blake I'd pretty much just put the Green Party in charge. They share many of my ideals, but know politics.

Greens are more politically developed outside NA.

Our Greens (Canada) are politically dumb and have yet to win a seat.

My first thing would probably be disbanding some of the intelligence agencies, and attempt to curb and reverse the supreme court back to its intended position. Also disband the bueacracy, atleast to pre civil war levels.

The powers that be in your country, along with the support of your people elect you to be the all powerful ruler of your country for 4 years.

If this is something aimed at the US, i would note the president is a extremely overrated position that doesnt even approach the status of all powerfull ruler.

It amazes me how people can look at extreme poverty in their country and be proud of that.

[Kataphraktoi]

Every country has extreme poverty.

Ban conglomerate corporations from owning media companies. (so GE, for example, would be forced to spin of NBC into an independent business).

I like this one, it would not even neccesarily break the constitution, after all, we have the sherman anti trust act... and we could amend the constitution, need be.

1. My pet project: Link Congressional salaries to the U.S. minimum wage, so they can't raise one without raising the other.

That's absurd.

You've got wool over your eyes if you think france has no poverty.

Why? If Congress is going to set their own salaries, and set a national minimum wage, why should they be allowed to give themselves raises (and I mean raises, not the yearly federal cost-of-living adjustment) without raining the minimum wage they regulate? Under what circumstances -- aside from sheer greed -- can we imagine that a $160,000/year congressman needs even more money, but a minimum wage worker doesn't?

[Darius871]

What's absurd is paying congressmen anything more than minimum wage, for that matter.
