Three Changes

[Rigon]

i disagree when we're talking about public schools. i'm not saying that public-sector trade unions shouldn't exist, but they should be castrated.

[noviapriani]

1) Single Payer HC

2) Term limits

3) Abolish Lobbyist and groups

[Rigon]

Single payer health care. Improved primary education. Decriminalization of drugs. And the ability of foreign people to enter USA without having to apply for a visa.

So you support school choice and taking money out of the Union thugs hands and directing it to the students? Nice!Get Big Brother out of our Healthcare.Get Big Brother out of our Bodies.Get Big Brother out of our Wallets.

There is nothing inherently wrong with teacher's unions. Then what's the point of a union?

i think teachers unions (as well as all other public-sector trade unions) should effectively be turned into political action committees and serve the collective interests of their members that way.

First I would like cannabis legalized.  It will help create jobs and the money made can help the middle class and infrastructure of the country. 

Maybe, but widespread cannabis use would lower productivity.   People work and think slower when they are "stoned".

3) Abolish Lobbyist and groups

Term limits are not necessary because members of Congress must be regularly re-elected. If they are not doing a good job in office, we can simply vote for someone else.

Career politicians have no place in Washington. They are also subject to corruption, and the influence of lobbying.

My three are:

(1) Eliminate Social Security and replace it with individual retirement accounts.

(2) Eliminate the Department of Education.

(3) Simplify the income tax to a flat 15% rate with an individual exemption for each member of the family up to the poverty level. All tax credits, deductions, and incentives would be eliminated, including mortgage interest, investment loss, charitable giving, student loan interest, oil and gas exploration, etc.

Career politicians should be valued for their experience. If we regularly fill a Congressional office with a newcomer, we will lose the valuable experience on-the-job that person can offer in government.

Amend Constitution to explicitly ban corporations and other liability-shielding business structures from being considered to have Constittuional rights

Allow government regulators a stipend and a job in human resources and ban them from taking any private sector job that is not far removed from any business sectors that they regulated in their government position for a period of 4 years.

Amend the Constitution to set a lower limit on the reserve ratio of private banks to 40%.

This implicitly gets rid of corporate income tax. It's stupid that entities other than individual humans were ever considered to have Constitutional rights.

It doesn't implictly get rid of anything. Corporations are legal fictions, and are subject to whatever legalities that legislators want to come up for them.

It's silly to think taxation of an organization and Constitutional rights are somehow inseparable.

[Rigon]

1. No more corporate citizenship
2. No more corporate citizenship
3. No more corporate citizenship

that should solve most problems.

Well, it's a matter of logistics. If the corporation is not autonomous insofar as it does not shield individuals from liability, then individual owners become liable for the taxes. This, by definition, renders corporate income tax a contradiction of terms. In other words, the income of the corporation would constitute income for the individuals who own the corporation. Ergo, they pay individual income tax on the gains, not a corporate income tax. Even if you call it "corporate income tax," it's still, conceptually, an individual income tax unless you're holding the corporation uniquely liable for its taxes as distinguished and separate from the liabilities of the individual owners.

I believe i meant "corporate personhood." Woops.Meaning corporations should not be afforded the right to donate to political campaigns.
Our legislators are currently bought and sold by corporate interests, on both sides.

[Hazir]

1) guns banned and siezed from every holder
2) deprivatization of natural water sources
3) immigration policy change (kick out illegal citizens to their motherland).

And I am guessing that you are native of america? You realize that almost everyone in USA were immigrants at some point.

The only change I want is to have laws like before WW1. It was TRUE land of freedom them.

What's to prevent governments from banning certain organisations it deems nasty--like your typical union or non profit? Or your newspaper?
And Rigon,so no more PIRGS? Ralph Nader would be unamused.

Well, corporate personhood means a lot more than that.
For example if your small business goes under, you can file bankruptcy and the business will be dissolved and its assets pooled for debt collectors, but your individual assets will be okay. You will not lose your home or your car or whatever. You just lose your business.
When you attack "corporations," you're attacking small business owners, not the conglomerates that you think you're attacking.

Oh, my, now you've gone and sone it!

You probably made a few heads explode with your use of knowledge, common sense and logic.

The right of actual humans to peaceably assemble.
Of course, a corporation is NOT a human -- it is explicitly detached from any particular human. It should be subject to exactly nothing more than the privileges a legislature grants in the charter -- it certainly shouldn't be the case where a piece of paper in a govt filing cabinet is successfully claiming to have a religion.
