If you suddenly had the option of turning the U.S. into a dictatorship and you get to be the dictator would you? Most of us are opposed to a dictatorship, but it's probably a different story when you get to be the dictator.

I have to be honest I'm not sure. If I did I'd probably turn it back into a democracy in a few years. I would either A. return it to a democracy the minute I came into power or I would keep it for a few years and do the following.

2007
First I would allow the democratic process to continue except for when I override everybody which would be often. Freedom of the press, speech, and belief would remain the law of the land.
raise minimum wage by 85 cents
redeploy the troops in Iraq to secure the iraq border and oil and do nothing else
create a path to citicizenship for the illegal immigrants, where they have to pay a 5 dollar fine every month for the next 12 years to fully become legal. Any illegal immigrants who make 10 dollars or more an hour have to pay 7 dollars a month to become legal.

Make a speech at the U.N. that while I am in charge the United States is going to be fair and objective with our relations towards Israel and Iran. If Israel is going to have our protection and alliance than they must stop building on the neutral zone. They can not steal any more land, and continued support will not be guranteed in the event of another act of genocide like they committed against lebannon. And if Iran agrees to quit enriching uranium than we will also tell Israel to dismantle their own nuclear weapons.

Outlaw any pork barrel spending attachments to any bills from here on out

Limit abortions to the first three months of a pregnancy

pass a law that goes into effect that all guns manufactured to be sold in the U.S. 4 years from now must come with safety locks. No producing fingerprint proof guns, and reinstating the ban on federal assault weapons

raise the retirement age by 2 years for anybody retiring 4 years from now, and that law will last 10 years

raise taxes on cigarettes by 10 cents a pack, with a 10 cent increase every 4 years for the next 20 years. Restrict nictotine levels to gradually decrease over the next 20 years to nicotine free cigarttes. It can be done, because phillip morris successfully had it gentetically removed years ago for a prototype.

Pass an energy plan that says that all vehicles manufactured to be sold in the United States after 2018 have to have 90% of what is currently metal replaced with the material to make motorcycle helmets, and run off of electricity. The government will purchase 1 million solar panel roofing units annually for 12 years and randomly give them to home owners, but all the electricty they would sell back to the company will be used to pay back the government for the cost of funding this. In 2018 an X-prize of the purchase 800 billion worth and a second place prize of 3 billion worth to whoever can give us the best deal.

Evolution will be taught in the class room, and ID will not

Double the amount of money being spent on genetic research to make plants that grow in the desert

2008
raise minimum wage by another 85 cents

2009 raise taxes on the 1% richest americans by 1%
2010 raise taxes on the 1% richest americans by 1%
2011 raise taxes on the 1% richest Americans by 1%

2012
legalize marijuana with a 2 dollar tax per gram, but it temporarily would have a 4.50 cent tax per gram for the next four years, and it would gradually go down to 2 dollars over the next 10 years after that. increase the penalty for smuggling other illegal drugs into the country to life in prison.

raise taxes on the 1% richest americans

2014
lower taxes on the 1% richest americans and the middle class both by 1%

2015
step down restoring democracy



Do you think I would help the country?
 
I would also cut funding for Bush's programs to find out whether global warming is fact or myth, and his reasearch into programs to cool the earth to reverse the process.
And in 2007 I would also pass a law that says that any televisions to be sold in the U.S. after four years from now must not have a stand by mode when turned off. This causes them to use a lot of energy. When off they use 75% as much power as when on, just so the picture comes up faster when you turn on the tv. and all light bubls will be energy efficent as well.
 
i would.
because i would be a benevolent ruler... i promise.
 
I would and then I kill all those who might oppose me. From there, its world domination and then universal domination.

No! You're naïve, close-minded, and think you know what's best for everyone else, which is what I don't like about liberal Democrats; they want to dictate what people can and cannot do, just like conservative Republicans do, and your post is evidence of this.

By the way, I voted "yes."

that's rich :whatever: you'll see why
close-minded,

I constantly reevaluate everything I believe. It's the only way to be truly confident your correct. In fact if I didn't do that I'd still be a moderate.

and think you know what's best for everyone else, which is what I don't like about liberal Democrats; they want to dictate what people can and cannot do, just like conservative Republicans do, and your post is evidence of this.

this is why your naive. You think only liberal democrats believe in a government that passes laws? Thats what the government is for. To tell people what they can and can not do. The fact that I support laws, is not evidence that the laws I support are unjust.

By the way, I voted "yes."

After everything you said about me?
 
No.
I don't presume to know how to fix what's wrong with the world. :o
 
If elected dicator I would...

Permit abortion up to birth

Create a health care system to rival Swedens, attempt to help all homeless people.

Raise smoking taxes up to ten cents a year.

Legalize weed, put a fair and regulated tax upon it.

Legalize prostitution, making the workers get a license and VD tests.

Raise the minimum wage up so every once in a while.

Complete separation of Church and state, officals won't swear in on Bible or Korans.

Spend as much as can be afforded on searching for alternative sources.

Teachers that mention ID in public schools will have their jobs taken.


So, who would vote for me?

i would'nt vote for you. permit abortion up to birth?! i'll just call you an idiot for now.

and whats the point of calling it minimum wage if you're going to be raising it every once in a while?


minimum wage is minimum wage for a reason!

and the legalizing prostition is ridiculous.


some of your ideas are sound, but you're not fit to rule anything.
 
Minimum wage needs to raise in line with cost of living, idiot. As electricity gets more expensive, so wages need to go up. Thats how these things work.

As long as the fetus is living off of the mother it's her right to decide wether she wants it.

There's a difference between minimum wage and poverty you idiot.

Amen to that. Try living on minimum wage without savings or a credit card for six months and see how you do.

I live in the good ol' US of A.:o I can't reach you.

Use peanut butter on mouse traps, they love it and they can't flick it off of the trap easily.

We kill three or four a week. They keep coming through from the derelict house next door and the bar on the corner.

I'll take a cheque.
 
There are countries on the globe "right now" that you can go live in, if you like dictatorships so much. :woot:

That's the great thing about America. The door swings both ways. You can leave when you want. :up: When you get over there, hit us up on the Hype at let us know how it is, will ya'?? :woot: Oh...I forgot, you might not have these kinds of privileges over there. Sorry....
