From Friend G. Ur More “deal points” for political repair than we’ve already presented for your assessment here. Specifically: Bar all out-of-state money from all political campaigns. In other words only money from actual human residents of political districts would be allowed to make campaign contributions. A leveling of the huge tax treatment disparities between corporations and small (sole proprietorship and small LLc’s) to avoid tax preference to larger entities. And, as long as we’re on point, actually adjusting tax codes to give preference to small business (under $20-million in annual top lines) to encourage more small business formation in a meaningful way. Imposition of income taxes on robotics that replace human jobs as well as exacting equivalent revenue contributions into FICA and other funds, for emerging robotics. And while we’re at it? Let’s also implement a reasonable tariff on foreign-made goods, since anyone who has studied the Great Depression knows that the whole “tariffs cause global recessions” crap was a put-up and not supported by the fact. Economic implosions of corrupt systems propagate in spite of, not because of, foreign cheap labor…but I suppose you knew that? Ending all lobbying that involved cash, trips, honorariums, or other such promises of both financial as well as non-financial (in-kind) contributions. Radical revision at the state and federal level to all third-party requirements in order to expand the range of political viewpoints available to voters. Then, in order to make sure that lawmakers keep listening to the underclass ( We, the 99ers), allow an expedited removal from office procedure that is both faster and more efficient than the often slow-moving recall process, to remove elected officials from office when they misrepresent their current and future position to voters. As long as we’re at it, we should also remove presidential “signing statements” as they are NOT LAW. And sure, let’s make it a felony for any elected official at any level to vote on any legislation which they have not completely read in advance of any vote. Should we also not put all public servants into Social Security and Healthcare systems equal to all working people? Should there be a “super class” of former government employees who harvest so-called double-dips, as long as we’re fixing things? These are, unfortunately, just a few of the steps which I believe could result in meaningful political change.
