Did I doing it right?

:: American companies are disallowed to design/develop/manufacture with non-citizen labor. Citizens who attempt to "bail ship" have their assets seized.
:: Boarders opened for naturalization of new citizens. Any individual or business employing non-citizen labor, see above.
:: Minimum wage is raised to living wage. Living wage based on living locally to source of income.
   - If you mop floors 40 hours a week in Manhattan, you get to have the financial option to live within a 20 minutes from your job. (see below)
:: Cap the highest paid member's salary+benefits+bonuses relative to the lowest paid member's salary+benefits+bonuses.
~ 10 years is given to complete the restructure.

The following would reduce the cost of living and increase competition for employees.
:: Federal, nation wide reliable & affordable modern mass transit. (sorry Hawaii / Alaska & Commonwealths)
:: Federal, nation wide reliable & affordable modern communications.
:: Federal, reliable & affordable health care.

Economies based on an idealized free-market will always fail to support healthy communities.
Since the individual members that will gather wealth exponentially shall have no reason to protect the resources of the community or future generations.

This thread is so delightfully violent.

I would legalize and institutionalize drugs, prostitution, and cannabilism.

Frazzled
after the mortgage crisis and this too big to fail stuff I would have taken a sledgehammer to the whole banking section. Like "bank of america you are now 10 small banks Citi Group you get to be 7 or 8" etc. These institutions represent a massive concentration of power and wealth and apparently have enough power to hold the whole country hostage to their mistakes. In return we the american public get......what? You can't regulate them into submission - you have to beat them into submission. I'd scrap all these gotcha fees they charge - 30$ here 5$ here this that. Fees, not interest on loans, is what is building those big sky scrapers in new york where these guys have their offices.

I dont know about the rest. But I do know that institutions of that size are a threat to national sovereignty and democratic government.

If I were dictator of Asia, seeing as I live here, I'd...

1. Crush my enemies.

2. See them driven before me.

3. Hear the lamentations of the women.

hmm.
I would go to war with canada.
Give the deed to alaska back to russia(take that palin)
Make america idol like shows illegal(unless they are really care)

I start by cutting long-term costs!

1. Mandatory sterilization of anybody who becomes pregnant while under public assistance. If you can't even take care of yourself, you have the right to increase the burden on others.

2. Mandatory death penalty for drunk driving, forcible rape, pedophilia, all violet crimes in which someone is permanently injured / killed; death penalty potential for fraud / insider trading valued > $1M USD.

3. Automatic conversion of "life imprisonment" to mandatory execution.

I think once the coffers immediately run dry because of those programs you would probably be deposed before any of the long term savings show up.

Change life imprisonment to send them to some random island and just leave them there.

Well my plan is simple.

First, I will kill myself. Then, when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together an engine of bone and blood, and fuelled by my hatred for humanity this fear engine will bore a whole between this world and that one. When it begins, they will hear the sound of children screaming; as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothingness will grow above their precious land and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my glorious new form, the first of them will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before being incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.

Or something along those lines...

How well did that work the last time?

Shuma for president, or Master General of Dictatorial Affairs if the context requires it.

MGDA is a decent acronym. Just sayin. Think GZA with more political clout.

Aka how the legal system worked prior to 2008. Excellent. Welcome to the Tea Party.

No. the tea party is against government intervention in the market place. I am for it. The kind of lassaiz-faire capitalism that they want would reduce 90% of the people in this country to corporate serfdom within a generation.

Actually you are. Thats how the system is supposed to work. When companies - including banks- fail, they go through bankruptcy. That was stopped in 2008. Only the strong survive.

And the way companies get stronger is by getting bigger. The bigger and fewer they get the more power each individual institution has and the more dangerous its failure is to the nation. It was that size that created the scale of this crisis and the necessity to bail them out.

Thats only one avenue. Bigger does not mean better. Bigger just means bigger. GM was huge...

Companies like ARM and Oxford Scientific Films are strong by being the best at what they do.
