Rule -> 15 things Kim Dotcom would do differently if potus (8/26/2012 1:28:36 PM)

Quoted from Torrentfreak:

quote:

Dotcom was happy to oblige. He made a list of 15 things he would do differently if he was President of the United States of America, changes that go beyond Internet issues.

1. Stop all wars the United States are involved in (offline and online).

2. Make peace and negotiate diplomatic settlements with all enemies.

3. Stop interfering with other nations unless help was asked for.

4. Stop supporting Israel’s aggression against Palestine and its other neighbors.

5. Cut military spending to the minimum required for a “defense” force.

6. Use military savings and other cuts to level the budget.

7. Stop sending trash to Mars and instead cure diseases on earth.

8. Focus on alternative fuel and energy strategies.

9. Keep the Internet open, free from censorship and stop spying on citizens.

10. Make lobbying and political donations illegal and fund political campaigns with taxes.

11. Tax citizens with the highest income the most and with the smallest income the least.

12. Increase the number of class rooms / teachers and pay teachers with the best results most.

13. Reform the justice and prisons system and reduce the number of prisoners.

14. Protect the environment and stop unnecessary pollution.

15. Fix all other problems.

I think most of them are unrealistic. Particularly interesting is of course the last one.

I wanna know their stance on circumcision.



DaddySatyr -> RE: 15 things Kim Dotcom would do differently if potus (8/26/2012 1:56:38 PM)

There were a couple of good ones in there.

Personally, I like the idea of withdrawing from all wars, cutting military to a defensive force and protecting our borders from all enemies and invasions. Of course, to me, this includes free trade agreements which are the crux of the issue when we discuss job loss. I think they constitute a "clear and present danger". Just take a tour of Detroit.

Some of it is "pie-in-the-sky" but, there's a couple of good ideas. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut, ocasionally.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Considering most of those pigeons flew years ago, I'd say Kim is pretty out of it.
Then again, given the current leadership of the GOP and their deep thoughts on a better America. it isn't THAT Wacky

Okay, then my party platform is as follows:

1) outlaw the Tea Party
2) break up the big banks and brokerages
3) cleanse the lunatics out of the court system
4) crack down hard on the uber-right militias, by military means if need be
5) Medicare for all; get rid of ACA except for the safeguards
6) Constitutional amendment granting women unrestricted right to control their bodies
7) Balanced progressive tax system on all incomes
8) Major infrastructure spending, by deficit if needed
9) Constitutional amendment requiring all debt to have mechanisms for paying it off
10) Systematically drive religious influence out of economics and politics
11) Eliminate vote of cloture in the Senate
12) Abolish the delegate system, Presidential election by direct vote
13) Require mandatory life without parole for using military weapons for crime
14) Establish stiff penalties for lying and scare-mongering in political campaigns
15) Establish one standard of justice for all

Are you referring to moden Republicas or old school fiscally responsible, stay the fuck out of your personal business Goldwater Republicans?



DaNewAgeViking -> RE: 15 things Kim Dotcom would do differently if potus (8/26/2012 10:38:29 PM)

Well, Hill, if there are any of those antedeluvian creatures still roaming the mists of some lost island somewhere, we can certainly make an exception for them.

If you can find any left Hill, I'd love to shake their hand... I know where you're coming from and respect it.
Too bad there weren't MORE old style republicans.... or rather enough.
