Answer 10

No more IRS, taxes on wages is slavery we can sustain fine without them we did prior to 1913 and we can again.  The IRS being gone would reign in the government from war, over spending, police state and put the government back in a position to serve the people.  Not the people serving it for funding.  The IRS is a horrible organization, the commissioners no better than the most abusive slave owner.  Taxes on wages is slavery according to the SC, we need our freedom back.

Answer 17

Overthrow the government, create a dictatorship, and give myself  a couple of years to make real changes.

What? You honestly expect to make any changes in one day? to do that you would need the support of almost everyone in your country.

Btw, i´m for direct democracy, i would only  become a dictator due to the circumstances.

Answer 18

Given that my country is a democratic republic, there is very little I could change in a single day.

Answer 19

I would make lobbyists illegal.  I would put a financial lid on money spent to run a political campaign for president/vice president at $10,000.  So that ALL of us would have an opportunity, not just the rich.  

I would make adding those pork benefits to bills in congress illegal.  I would make congress put only one action in each law and not tack on the large group of pork bills to each law.  I would require that congress work 8 to 10 hour days, 5 days a week, with one week vaction between Christmas and New Years, and one week around July 4th.  

I would eliminate the political determination by party for all congressional seats allowing the population to vote for the best person, not the party.  

I would punish any business who layed off more than 50 employees by having their stock eliminated from trading for 90 days.   I would severly fine and tax all profits for any business who sent jobs out of the country.   I would put an excise tax on on imports, so that goods built in the USA would be a bargain.

I would expand the health care system that is currently and very successfully used by congress people and most of the Federal government to include all CITIZENS.  I would set up free clinics in major cities and on the internet to really help those here illegally apply for citizenship and would reward new citizens with a financial gift.  

But I will never be president, too poor,  and won't kiss &&& of those who would donate big money.
