1. Immigration - I would immediately have the border secured. The border would be upgraded with a high-tech monitoring system and fast response units to intercept anything suspicious.
All employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens are to be shut down, no warnings, no questions asked. After a hefty fine, they would be allowed to resume regular business operations minus the unlawfulness.
2. Drugs - Legalization of cannabis. With a secured border, the influx of cocaine and other narcotics would ease some pressure off our law enforcement. With the extra funds, that would be invested in to rehabilitation, like the Dutch Drug Policy. Narcotics would be viewed as a health concern, and not a criminal one.
3. Iraq - I would speak directly to the Iraqi people.
Insurgent Groups: The politically motivated ones are given one last chance to completely disarm or be destroyed. The terrorist motivated ones have no mercy. Anyone who is convicted of terrorist actions against the rule of law in Iraq is to be severely punished. So much so, people will start to understand that fighting the government just won't be worth the risk of getting totally obliterated. Those who choose to be obliterated shall become so.
Civilians: It's up to them to make Iraq what they want it to be. Violence will benefit no one, as violence begets violence in this instance. If it was not for the insurgents, the people of iraq would have running water, electricity for more than half the day, safe streets, schools, and a recovered economy. They wouldn't be the killing ground they are now. They can change the situation by supporting the government which is trying its best to make good of the present situation. |

Could go with something completely foreign to the current government, like, ohhh... Diplomacy that actually involves talking to people from an objective viewpoint rather than that of an international, nuclear powered war machine. Sometimes we might even do that before commiting ourselves to stomping their countries into a bloody, crunchy mess.
That'll be a real novelty! |

Well now that he's sacked anyone else who could have been responsible for this BS ages ago, so does this mean you bastards over there will get around to impeaching this monkey already? |

Again stupid.
In conclusion, I certainly hope you never become president. It is enough we have to deal with faces like Bush and Mccain. |

Sorry, I should have answered your question.
1. Reform National security: Fund technolofy capable of watching the every movement in the nation. When something illegal occurs, it would triger an alarm and the police force in the area, where the crime occured, would be alerted. This would bring crime down and would send mostly guilty people than innocent people.
2. Reform laws: Drugs such as cannabis, cocaine are to remain illegal. Don't trust Americans to be responsible enough to have it legalized. Lower the age of drinking to 18 for dance clubs. However, business would be allowed to choose their customers. Meaning if a 16 yr has the money to buy alcohol let him. Also legalize prositution, and gambling. For gambling have casinos for people over the age of 18 and for people younger than 18. Have pachinko's for them. Also make internet porn illegal. Internet porn causes too many young males to not go outside and talk to girls. Lower the age of consent to 15.
3. Cut down the waste of land: Make suburbs illegal. Every one would need to live in a city of over 400,000. This would make people more open to different people and thus cut down racial crimes and the general ignorance of people. Would also leave many areas of open space. Making this country even more beautiful.
4. Cut down on social welfare: No more section 8 for people who don't have any mental disorder. The mental disorders would be classified by neurologists. Money wouldn't be as wasted.
5. Take guns away from police and people: Too many idiots own guns. |

Get our troops out of every foreign country and put them on the border.
Abolish the IRS and institute a national 5% flat sales tax.
Federal government will fund three things:
Roads
Courts
Defense
Enforce 2 laws on a national level:
#1. No theft.
#2. No violence.
That's it. Other than following those two laws, people should be free to do as they please. |

Cool. :rolleyes: Abolish the IRS, the only organization that helps knock out bullters. Of course, there are many loopholes, and that would need to be fixed (What I would do as president). The IRS needs to be stronger, and enforce all of the tax laws accordingly, especially with the rich. Higher income taxes for the rich: 50-60%. A killer luxury tax that would discourage the luxurious lifestyle that is so beloved by the wealthy. Low income taxes for middle class, and virtually none for the families with incomes lower than 35,000.
In my opinion, any politician should have many freedoms stripped away. When a politician is elected, they should be monitored by the FBI and IRS without warrant. Everyone they talk to should be monitored as well, creating a vast network of intelligence. This will discourage corruption almost completely, I believe. |
