If I Were Vampire Of The United States Of America
I can't imagine accepting the presidency in this country. It's too much like corporate America: you don't have the authority, but you're responsible. Congress makes the rules, but YOU ruined the economy, YOU got us into this war, YOU blah, blah, blah.
There is only one way that seems reasonable to me for me to take over this country, & that would be as a dictator. That's where the vampireism comes in: if I was human, I WOULD be assassinated, it's that simple. There's just too many people in this country I would make too angry, and I'm not going to put MY life on the line & not get anything accomplished.
So, I'm dictator for life, & I'm immortal. Now what? (This is one of those discussions you have in the lunch room but you never put your thoughts down; I thought it was time to change that for me.)
1st, should anyone ask, I'm NOT dissolving Congress. I can override anything that have done or will do, but they are encouraged to present me with bills for consideration. I may think I'm right, but I also believe great leaders surround themselves with a variety of voices.
It will be interesting to see how many stay when they find out their salaries are ended, as are their retirement benefits. I hear McDonald's is hiring, Senator...
Additionally, free speech is alive & well. Picket me, protest me, call me names, no harm shall come to you (as long as you're not harming anyone else). The only exceptions would be obscene language on the radio & broadcast TV, & obscene / profane speech in public areas. This would need to be clearly defined (words & topics) in what I'm sure would be an amusing document.
Are you on death row? You are dead within the next 24 hours. Everyone able to man a needle will be needed to get these drains on our tax system off the rolls. Were you convicted of murder? Unless it was manslaughter (or self defense, & then you're not in jail anyway), you're dead, too, although it may take longer. Look how much prison space we have now!
Are you on welfare or unemployment? You'll want to go talk to your local church or homeless shelter because you're off the government teat effective immediately.
"But some of those people will die!" If they choose not to make themselves useful & overwhelm the private charity system, yes they will. It is unfortunate, but what is the character of a man who won't work & doesn't have friends or family to at least provide a roof & some food?
Are you here illegally? It is now open season on illegal aliens. Yes, that means anyone may kill you for any reason or no reason & not be charged with a crime IF you are here illegally. We've had it; get out of our country! HOWEVER, if someone kills another person & it can be proven they were here legally, the killer is DEAD. So, be careful where you point that gun... you THOUGHT they were illegal will be no defense.
English is our official language, sorry. Government will no longer have to speak or print in any foreign languages. It may be done, but it's nobody's RIGHT. Private organizations are free to do business in any language they want.
Private businesses with private property reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. "I don't like the way you look" is good enough for me. Does that mean some businesses will discriminate against races, genders, & religious beliefs? You bet! And once word gets around that Bob's Store is racist, his business will likely fall through the floor & he'll be driven out of business... unless the local community supports that sort of thing, which I think it has a right to. Same thing on employment: "I don't hire hippies" sounds good here.
Tarrifs, trade restrictions, import taxes? All gone. That giant sucking sound IS the sound of jobs & purchases leaving the country... but I believe America is too creative a country to not figure out what we can do better & cheaper than anybody else, & then do it. We've been great in the past... why do we need training wheels now?
At the same time, all the financial aid we've been sending around the world? The tap just ran dry. Sorry, world, but we're not funding your little wars & dictatorships & slums just to have you turn on us when the going gets tough. We're going to stand on our own two feet now, you have to do the same if you want to survive.
Our troops are coming home from a lot of places, too, although not Iraq or Afghanistan yet... in fact, Iran & Saudi Arabia both look pretty inviting right now... hey Iran, ready to give up your nukes, or shall we bomb your brains out? Hey Saudi Arabia, where's Osama Bin Laden? Or do we have to come find him for ourselves?
Back home, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is revoked. As a matter of fact, MUCH copyright law is revoked. I do want SOME protection for the creator / owner of items which have market value, but something has to be put into the law to indicate the free sharing of multimedia (where there is NO financial benefit for either party) is permissible. Call it the "private performance & reproduction act" & force labels to either come up with something worth buying or go bankrupt.
Copyright protection schemes aren't illegal... but then again, neither is breaking them. This a private war between content providers & end users... let the games begin!
Your taxes, by the way, have gone WAY down. They should go down even more when we switch to the fair tax plan (where there is a national sales tax instead of a national income tax).
Radio stations, TV station, newspapers, beware: over the next three years, you will be forced to own only ONE of each of these. I don't mean one per market, I mean you can own ONE radio station or ONE TV station or ONE newspaper in the United States per company. Yes, this will drive the value of New York & LA stations through the roof & drive smaller market station prices through the floor... resulting in LOTS of opportunity for ownership & tons of voices.
Oh, & as a personal crusade: AM / FM Hi-Def (IBOC) is dead & is to be off the air in 30 days. AM radio stations are required to broadcast with a C-Quam stereo generator on & the capacity to pass stereo programming to the transmitter. I don't want to regulate radio manufacturers, but may look into it if better AM radios aren't built in the next 5 years.
Food manufacturers are no longer required to list what's in their food. I hate this too but the market should be forcing this, not the government. HOWEVER, if you put something in a can that sickens or kills somebody, the owners of the company are PERSONALLY responsible & could be facing murder charges (& yes, death).
So many regulations, paperwork requirements can be lifted if the consequences are set high enough. Sure, you don't have to verify you're not polluting the river... but the first person to get sick from water contamination traced back to you gets to take their pound of flesh from your company.
Privatized schools, privatized utilities, privatized as-much-as-possible will save the government a ton of money & likely improve all of them.
Drugs? Legal until you violate somebody's else's rights, & then you pay big-time. Sexual orientation is your business, what two (or more) consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is their business, but the federal government only recognizes heterosexual unions. What states do is their business. What happens in public, CAN get you arrested, homo or hetero in nature.
Oh, we stop printing money IMMEDIATELY and let old money naturally come out of circulation until THE PAPER MONEY EQUALS THE GOLD WE HAVE. Sheesh, don't these people read their history books?
Drill for oil? You bet! Anywhere, everywhere, as long as the oil company owns the property... and the government stops taking their 40+ cents a gallon immediately, too.
...You can see why I'd have to be bullet-proof...
I'm sure there's more, but what I want to what would YOU do? Which of my ideas would you rally against? Am I, like Neal Boortz, just saying what everybody is already thinking, or have I just posted a "Mein Kampf?" (If you feel that way, the good news is this document will keep me from EVER be elected to anything, including dog catcher!)
My wife says The Most Powerful Man In The Universe has to put on his jammies & go to bed.... oh, well...
