(10,964 posts)I would make myself supreme ruler for a period of ten years and then start to work myself through all of the legislation that should have been passed:
1. No more Citizen's United
2. Single Payer Health Care
3. Pare down the Military to a reasonable defense level
4. Use money freed from Military Spending to for fixing the Infrastructure
5. Guarantee the right of every American citizen 18 years and older the absolute permanent right to vote
6. Tax Reform and go after anybody who moved their wealth and assets out of the US in order to avoid being taxed as well as huge Corporations that don't pay a dime in tax
7. Creation of a living wage - A person who works full time should be able to support his/her family.
8. Create legislation that recognizes financial terrorism and go after the people who ruined the US economy
9. Reasonable gun legislation including making people legally responsible for any actions or inactions that result in the death or injury of innocent people.
19. Strengthen the EPA and regulatory agencies. Work on eliminating or minimizing carbon emissions
20. Take away the ability of Texas to have any say on how school books are written. Let content experts have more say in textbooks.
And I could on and on. I would be very busy for my 10 years in office.
Hey I can dream can't I?
