Make all political contributions public
Come up with a more equitable primary system
PEnalize people for not voting, and change the voting system to operate by issues, not candidates
Hold candidates accountable for the issues they sign up for

Etc

Its all about accountability

we dont have to change anything structurally.

humans need to look out for each other, provide for the common good, and stop being greedy selfish a$$holes.

then everything will be fine

Good luck with that. :beli:

Honestly, I don't think it can really be fixed.

But for starters, true socialized healthcare (single payer) and real campaign finance reform would be an improvement.

:snoop: sad truth. at this point the people who are in power will stay in power and make sure others like them will have power next.

congress is a big country club and to get in you have to sell your soul to money and greed.

fix congress (which technically only they can do) and u gotta shot at fixing everything else

but good luck with that

take away special interest groups and their influence, campaign funding only by the public, I think congress/HR can be done away with and give the power to the people to vote on matters

First off, it would become a dictatorship. And I would be the dictator. I would be the executive and legislative arm. As for the judicial arm, I would get rid of six of the Supreme Court justices, the left-wing and middle-of-the-road justices, and keep the conservative justices. I would have final say over any cases that pass through the Supremem Court.
I would go over all the liberal legislation and veto them, with dictator powers. I would sign in conservative legistation to be law. I'd create my own laws too. Federal laws would trump state laws.
I would fire all Congressmen and senators and support personnel of Congress. That would be the first major budget cut.
I would represent each state. No need for elections anymore. No more fighting over campaign financing because there won't be any more campaigns.
All corporations who pay-offed any Congressman or senator under the table would take that as a loss. Because I'm not going to take a bribe.
I would give all the territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.) an ultimatum, either they get full independence or become a state of the union under my powers.
There's a whole bunch of other stuff too. Flat rate personal income tax, no itemized deductions. Flat rate corporate income tax, any previous tax incentive breaks would be removed.
Bomb North Korean military bases, missile installations, radars, ships, and airfields.
Create huge aquaducts and desalination plants from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to feed water into farming communities in the midwest, west, northeast and south so drought is less of a problem.
I would change the name of the country from the United States of America to the United States of Sugar Ray.

Need to dead all that lobbying, make taxes based On consumption, use military to secure borders domestically instead of fighting "terror". Legalize drugs, gambling, and prostitution and tax it.

There should be more consumption taxes? So those who consume more should pay a higher percentage in taxes? What is the implication here?
