There are people who would do exactly that here in Yurop. But don't tell anyone

[Durandal]

1. Do away with income tax.
2. Separate the fuck out of church and state.
3. End any and all funding to religious programs, except for hospitals.
4. Begin taxing churches.
5. Outlaw any religious display on government property.
6. Stop Congress from opening each session with a prayer.
7. Change the pledge back to the way it was.
8. Ban campaign financing from corporations and religious groups, as well as other campaign finance reforms.
9. Reduce the drinking age to 18 nationally.
10. Legalize marijuana.
11. Institute welfare and unemployment reform. If you are a drug addict, you are not eligible for government assistance.
12. Repeal the federal income tax. Replace it with a federal retail sales tax.

And other stuff too.

[RedImperator]

Cut military spending by a LOT.
Install a social welfare system worth its name.
Ban guns.

All in all, europeanize it

Right. Where's the rest of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy now? You've come up with an assassination-worthy worthy program. One of them has got to have a better sniper rifle than I do.

It bodes well that there a lot of Europeans that disapprove of this country. Something would definitely be wrong if they didn't.

3.)Affirmitive Action stays legal. Deal with it. The damage done to such a large group of people for a dozen decades can't be undone by simply standing around doing nothing...Try and tell someone from the inner city that he has an equal opportunity to get into college while maintaining a straight face...I dare you...

Thank you Strafe for the sensible answer.

So, in other words, don't do anything to actually IMPROVE conditions in the inner cities, like ending drug prohibition which has made their neighborhoods war zones, or improving the atrocious urban education system so the majority of them actually know how to read and write and do math, working through the communities to reduce out-of-wedlock births which trap young women and their children in the ghetto, and working on all levels to integrate minorites into the mainstream so African American teenagers don't think working hard and succeding in school makes them Uncle Toms. Instead, we'll just dumb down admissions requirements and set hiring quotas based on factors completely irrevelant to job performance and illegal if used to favor white males, i.e., melanin content and ethnic background. That will make everything better.

I never advocated not doing what you said. I do remember specifically saying that we not sit around and do nothing. Affirmitive action doesn't mean quotas. It means giving opportunities to those that would otherwise never see such things. Part of that includes things like drugs, education, housing etc etc. Like it or not a large group of people are, figuratively speaking, starting the 100yd dash 5 seconds after everyone else started running. That's an injustice that should be remedied. It isn't reverse racism to give aid to minority students to get them into school...

[von Neufeld]

If I would become US leader:
1. Draft all the fundies in the whole damned bible belt, send them off to the Middle East and hope they come home in body bags only.
2. Crack down on the big corps and organizations that pulls the strings in American politics. (MPAA, RIAA, Microsoft, etc.)
3. Apoint someone capable of balancing a budget as Sec. Treasury.
4. Do something to raise the intelligence in the nation. (Maybe item 1. helps?)
5. Clear up the tax laws.

If I would become UK leader:
1. Speed up the integration process.
2. Take over railways.
3. Start campaigning for my election as supreme chancellor of Europe.
4. Get rid of the concept of state church.

[Einhander Sn0m4n]

Okay, let's see.
1. Cut Taxes
2. Pass a Constitutional Amendment that bans the practice of pasting riders to a Bill that are completely unrelated and punishes any violators with immediate expulsion from Congress. If you wanna put a homophobic Anti-Sodomy Law out, MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING BILL! Don't try to sneak it into my Marijuana Legalization Bill. Speaking of...
3. Legalize Marijuana
4. Destroy the Megacorporations' deathgrip on government. (Prepare to Die, Microsoft!)
5. Repeal the DMCA and make it absolutely impossible for something like the TCPA to function.
6. End Affirmative Action
7. Make Basic Gun Safety and Handling a required High-School course (Educate people to respect guns and they won't be as likely to toy around with them)
8. End Welfare
9. Pass Paperwork-Reduction Laws. It'll cut down on the incredibly wasteful bureaucracy, and help the environment too.
10. Build an Overwhelmingly Powerful Military with the best equipment possible.
11. Extension of Military Buildup: Research Advanced Energy Weapons
12. Start a Space Program with the stated goal of producing affordable FTL within the century and colonizing every rock in the Solar System bigger than a mile (Project Manifest Destiny)
