You wake up with complete dictatorial powers in USA - what do you do?

[rightwinger]

I would invade Canada

It is long overdue

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Reform the military to a purely defensive force (strong standing Army to discourage invasion, decommision most of the Navy except smaller vessels for coastal defense, cease all nuclear weapons programs except a small nuclear deterrent capability as with the Naval submarine fleet (but decommision ICBM silos and other offensive systems, strengthen ABM systems,) and small reserve re-tasked to planetary defense against asteroid and other impacters.)

Close, vacate all US bases not on US soil.

Cease foreign aid to non-democratic-like governments.

Institute a Flat Tax (for everyone, individual and corporate alike.) Dunno what the 'sweet spot' is, that's what advisors are for. Between 10 and 25% I'd think.

Terminate Capital Gains Tax to encourage investment.

End government subsidies of destructive and unhealthy goods (sugar, oil, etc.)

Make military service mandatory. Minimum 4 year active-duty service. When it's your butt (or your kids') on the line, your willingness to go to war willy-nilly goes away.

Ban gasoline-fuled vehicles. Mandate auto production be all alt fuel-based like electric, hydrogen, solar.

Institute a comprehensive system of resource management and rationing to cut back on electricity usage, enviroment polluting, etc.

Change fair trade to 'equal trade' so every dollar's worth of foreign goods sold in the US has our goods sold in the market of orign at the same value amount.

Lots of other things but those are my big 'wish list' ones. Would do it all the first day since I'd expext to be assassinated later that night.

Some minor changes:

Replace all classrooms using the Mercator world maps with Peters Projection ones since they're much more accurate.

Would disolve state laws since having federal and state ones, often conflicting is redundant.

Would write into the Constitution 'all Dictators serve a 5 year term of office (if you can't get it done in 5 years you're incompetant.) When their term has expired, a new Grand Poobah is elected. No future Grand Poobah may ammend this law.'

Every girl who says she wants a pony must volunteer at the closest 4H center to raise one.

 

[Votto]

You wake up with complete dictatorial powers in USA - what do you do?

ME: Liberate the American people.

1. Save the whales
2. Save those snails
3. Save the middle class
4. Save the lower class
5. Save the world.
6. Save and secure power all for myself and ruthlessly guard anyone from attaining it cause I'm a bad ass good guy with all the answers don't ya know.
7. When I die have myself embalmed under glass so people will not feel as though they are lost without my all knowing benevolent rule when I die.

Praise be "the Votto"

Typical liberal, typical stupid.

Invade your largest trading partner and best friend.

Besides, wasn't that tried already in 1812?

you might want to use some of that dictatorial power to buy a sense of humor.

I would get the country as close as I could back to its' original intent with three equal branches of government, with the exception of adding term limits to political posts, especially the Supreme Court. Then I would resign. I'd probably need a vacation after that.

you'd take away the right to vote from women and black people and make blacks slaves again?

 

[pvsi]

me? overturn citizen's united and get money out of politics.
get rid of the patriot act
take away the license of any TV station that knowingly distorts or falsifies the truth (which would mean overturning fake news' lawsuit getting the right to force their reporters to lie).

I did a quick look at what citizens united is all about and as a Fox News caster started talking and Rand Paul's face came up, I instantly believe this is one of those fraud movements. As a former supporter of Ron Paul, I say screw that group. so yes, I agree with all your statements.

 

[jillian]

in other words, you hate more than half the country.

perhaps you should go live elsewhere.

not HATE my dear lady ***** i love ALL the country, from sea to shining sea, i despise people who HATE my guns and want to ban them, i despise people who support "hope and change", plus the people who believe in "fundamentally change America"....., AND people who can not spell RESPECT !! plus, those type of people who ragged on Dan Quayle about his spelling of potato and ignore the spelling of "rspect"

liberals, commies, demoRATS, socialists, and anyone who is left of me should all move to their utopia............, CHINA or NORK

Yeah. My new country would require (mandatory) gun safety training to be taught in all public schools. Target shooting would be offered as an optional class for extra credit. I would strongly recommend that ALL good and decent citizens of the New USA carry a gun for self protection. Folks who think guns are icky could be deported to the nation of their choice if they squawked too much about them.

perhaps you'd do better teaching math, science and how to read and write.

 

[DriftingSand]

Raise taxes on those making more than 500k to 75% and gradually increase the more you make (BAD)

Close all foreign bases bring all troops home position on mexican border with orders to shoot (GOOD)

Close down federal reserve (GOOD)

destroy jewish monopoly on media and finance (GOOD)

push all non whites into one area preferably south Florida and keep them there and introduce drugs to sterilize all non whites allow them to die off
jews to be eliminated for good (BAD)

Nuke israel (BAD)

sign peace accords with ALL islamic countries with a understanding that we don't meddle in ME affairs and they don't attack US targets if that happens we nuke the country that allowed it to happen. (BAD & GOOD)

Education from k-12 completely free (MAYBE ... DEPENDING ON WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT)

livable wage for ALL (BAD. LIVEABLE WAGE FOR FOLKS WHO GET UP AND WORK FOR IT)

declare political parties illegal (PROBABLY GOOD)

execute lobbyists and heads of JDL,NAACP,ADL,ACLU etc (BAD. DEPORTATION OF ANYONE WITH ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENTS? PERHAPS!

That's a damn good start.

1) Protect the original Constitution.
2) Flat tax! Strongly encourage the idea of charity for them less fortunate.
3) Powerful lobbies and special interest groups disbanded while freedom of speech protected on an individual basis.
4) Central bank (Federal Reserve) totally disbanded. Create Constitutional Amendment making central banks absolutely illegal.
5) Gold standard reestablished and all national financial matters placed back under the control of Congress.
6) Free education? Nothing is free. There are costs involved with wages, books, buildings, desks, supplies, upkeep, utilities, etc. For certain though: the bar would most definitely be raised. No more A+ for everyone just so that they "feel" good about themselves. No more punishing the intelligent by lowering the bar so that the less intelligent can have a high self esteem.

I believe that those who are smart enough to call blacks in those days slaves, should be intelligent enough to realize that most people TODAY are in fact slaves as well, other way, you are preaching hypocrisy.

If rightwinger made that post with tongue in cheek, that would be the first time in her life to display any sense of humor.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Would also institute the death penalty on all violent crime whether death results or not. Got enough animals in the wilds already, don't need em in our towns and cities too. Would streamline the justice system as well. Get 1 automatic appeal but if guilty is upheld, you die that hour from pistol shot to the head. Coup de Gras as required.

There's plenty of time to teach math, science (good science), reading, spelling, gun safety, true history, and more. Remove the classes that teach how to use a condom or how to be "politically correct" and a lot of wasted time would be freed up.

I just want to state for the record that I was the one who first started using the word demoRAT about 15 years ago, and I'm proud that it's starting to catch on

I like that idea. Is this the first time we agreed on something? Hahaha

I've called them Demoncrats a few times.

Would actually like to extend lethal punishment authority to the police, but I'm willing to compromise.

Americans and Russians went to the moon like they fought the cold war - IN HOLLYWOOD - one has to be QUITE NAIVE to believe the government and the media propaganda, but it WAS a good way to sucker tax payers
