Yeah, a lot of OP ideas are terrible.


Here's one: institute a limit on how much land any one person can own. And company/corporate land counts to their total. Also, make property tax rates far higher for any residence you own beyond your primary residence. There are numerous ways in which the entire country would radically change for the better if we flattened out ownership. The massive profits people make solely by owning shyt that other people can't adds nothing to the strength of the economy but helps keep both rural and urban communities poor and cements generational poverty.

Not necessarily that I advocate for those ideas, but wanted to throw things at the wall for conversation

Note you say fukk you to worked on taxes yet nothing about sales tax which is regressive

Just be honest and say you feel attacked because you have a little money in your 401k

I'd say ban corporations from owning land altogether honestly.

Also I dont think your ideas are radical

I purposefully went out on a limb

Eliminate property tax for homeowners.

Legalize all drugs

Give all politicians a set, taxpayer funded budget for campaigns and outlaw private campaign fundraising.

Outlaw corporate lobbying.

Eliminate government's ability to grant favors to private interest.

All patents expire after 10 years. Intellectual property rights expire upon the death of the creator.

Ban foreigners from land ownership. Convert to 100 yr leases like other countries

I think the patents need to be nuanced

Medications as low as 3 years etc

i didn't even call out the stupidity of no stock market because i didn't see it...what does my 401k have to do with you wanting to eliminate estate taxes, something that would 100% benefit the wealthy? i also have no idea what decriminalizing cigarettes means - they are legal, wtf....you have terrible ideas in there :yeshrug:
