If I were in charge of this country I would make the following laws mindful that if I never become the one in charge, they will never happen.
Make it a law that every package of consumer goods like milk, cheese, sauces, etc. be easy to open and does not require a pair of scissors.
Make it a law that no movie or T.V. show can play background music during dialogue.
Eliminate the penny and nickel; they cost more to make than they're worth, no one uses them anymore. Billing will be made with 10 cent increments, not one or five.
Eliminate robo calls by making it easier to avoid them and harder for businesses to get away with them without paying a huge fine.
Change the H-1B to never allow a person from another country come and replace any American worker no matter how much they make. Currently American employees who make more than $60,000 can be replaced.
Forbid businesses to use automated answering systems that try to get you to tell the computer rather than a human what the reason for the call is and then try to answer questions. More people need to be hired to answer the calls. Using the computerized system would be OK as long as it is used only to properly direct the call - as in press "1" for shoes, "2" for clothing, etc.
Discourage all outsourcing and tell foreign manufacturers that they must produce their products for Americans in America and U.S. manufacturers will make their products near to its foreign consumers.
End illegal immigration by making entry next to impossible and sending all those who get through back to their home countries. Those wishing asylum must do so in an American embassy or consulate in their native land.
Make it possible for private insurers to reject any applicant for medical reasons. Those denied coverage would then be eligible to the "public option"- a share-of-cost federal program which would also cover those in states that did not extend Medicaid. We would stop paying insurers $7 billion a year to cover their losses because of medical needy applicants. I would also crack down on Medicare/caid fraud and waste which is estimated to be $100 billion a year.
Reduce or eliminate foreign aid to countries that do not use it to improve conditions but rather to be kept by their leaders or to be used for destructive purposes.
Change the tax code to make the standard deduction of $40,000 for families, $20,000 for single filers, except for self employment and corporate returns. All sources of income would be equally taxable. Have only six brackets from 10% to 35%. Those making $500,000 would pay a straight 30%, Those making $1 million or more would pay a straight 35% with no standard deduction. This would make filing so easy that it could be done in minutes and the overworked IRS would only focus on self employment and corporate taxes.
End football, boxing and fraternities. The first two are too violent and with too many injuries, especially to the brain and to the spouses. Fraternities are elitist and exist for only one reason: to have parties to get coeds, preferably, sorority girls, to succumb to the boys' advances. We would still have baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, hockey (without the fighting) and lacrosse. No other country has a football league and yet the people have survived and found different ways to spend their spare time. This would be one of the most controversial changes.
