"What Would You Do If The Political Situation Was Left Up To You?" or "Seil's Been Drinking!" woulda been the full title, had it fit. Since Jagos is doin' the newspaper thing, an' people are talking 'bout politics, I thought it prudent to ask a question.
What would you do if politics were left up to you? (Get it? "Left?" Hahaha-I don't get it either.) 'M not saying that there's not going to be a political body that doesn't try to get things done, authority that doesn't enforce the law or a citizenship that doesn't live by the laws, but you're in control of what goes down. You're like the Super Presi... fuck it, let's go Canadian - you're the Super Prime Minister, or Super Prime for short 'cause it sounds like a giant robot Prime Minister and that's awesome. The idea is that there's still a country, but they're beholden to your whims, and you can get anything pushed through and people will apply it. Do you stand for health care? BAMF! There's health care - but how're you gonna work it? Do you sit for a full seperation of church and state? BAMF! Church and state are now divorcees. Do you **** for gay rights? You saucy minx. So what's it gonna be? What's your ideal? [size=totally huge]SEIL'S STUFF (Until the sober amendment kics in)[/size] - Everyone is equal. You're black/hispanic/asian/indian? Welcome to Canada! You're gay? Adopt! Get married! Have fun. - Authority figures such as police and other law-keeping agencies must be subject to random inspection. You know - for corruption and junk. But I'll have someone write up something clean and neat so that it's done quitely and proffessio... profession.... properly. - Immigration law will not be as... demanding as previous, and will be done according to a person to person basis. Like "Doctor with an outstandingly blank criminal record? Welcome into the country!" "Repeat offender looking for asylum? Try America!" - You are legally required to make at least one person smile per day. - Fuck economics. I'm not imposing a communist rule, but we're gonna get rid of the lower tax bracket. You people having trouble making payments on your house? Don't worry, you'll be taken care of. People having trouble eating? We'll take care of you. Yo guys addicted to cocaine? We're here to help. - Bullying is outlawed. Now I know this is impossible due to human nature - but it will be met with harsher punishments in school, and kids will be encouraged to report it because of a cool spokesperson. Like... Robocop or Poochie or someone. |

First thing I would do is make "[size=totally huge]" a reality.

Increased taxes on the wealthy, repeal the ceiling on the amount of income taxed by payroll taxes.
Begin deficit stimulus spending, focusing on infrastructure repairs, new construction, transit, education, and energy research. Lower the age at which Social Security begins paying out benefits to encourage older employees to move out of the work force. Prosecution of the numerous bad actors in the financial sector, fully reinstate the regulation of banks repealed by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and Graham-Leach-Bliley. Force the retirement of the most conservative judges on the Supreme Court (assuming that in this fantasy world I have the political mojo to make this happen as well). Replace them with justices who will roll back the myriad abrogations of individual rights and freedoms and expansion of the rights of corporations conducted by the court over the last few decades. Appoint like-minded federal judges. Legalize and decriminalize most if not all drugs, one of the most common excuses for the above abrogations of individual rights and freedoms. Do... something about the two ten-year-long wars going on. FUCK I don't even know what at this point. Send everyone in Guantanamo Bay home, unless they were A. actually demonstrably guilty of something, B. not tortured. Break up the high concentrations of media ownership that resulted from the Telecom Act of 1996. IDK, lots and lots of things, it is probably sufficiently obvious by now that I spend A LOT of time imagining what I would do if I could make the government pass any legislation I wanted.

I would implement "common sense law" to tackle frivolous lawsuits. Spilled hot coffee? No shit coffee's hot, case dismissed. Hurt yourself breaking into someone's home? Don't be an idiot. Were I able to turn back time, I would have disbursed the bailout money amongst the public, not the companies. Sure you'd have a few who would blow it on drugs and such, but if you were in debt and the government handed you a check for a hundred grand, what would you do with it? With universal healthcare, I would expand the current medicaid program. It may not be perfect, but being able to get a check up more than once every ten years would be better than what we have now. I think it would be more efficient to build on an existing program rather than implement something new. Make it available to everyone while steadily increasing the funding every year to allow for more services. Of course there's more but I'm no expert on politics. |

A few seconds of contact through clothing causes 3rd degree burns. She was in hospital for 8 days getting skin grafts. She lost 20% of her body weight and required continual medical treatment for 2 years. Mcdonalds offered a settlemnt of $800, her medical bills alone were about $12000. Like what the fuck dude. |
