Such things as healthcare, taxes, judge impeachments, and explain why? What do you think?

Taxes: Our tax code is too complicated. Take out all the credits, exemptions, deductions, and loopholes. Use it to raise revenue ONLY. None of this "encouraging behavior" BS. The government isn't my mother.

Healthcare: Do something about the frivolous lawsuits. That is one thing that's making healthcare so unaffordable. Do like Japan and make the losers in lawsuits pay the court/attorney fees. That'll eliminate those people who sue healthcare providers just to get rich.

Our corrupt political and legal systems, and the dysfunctional healthcare system.

Why? Simply because they do not work as they should.

America should follow Brazil and learn how to vote effectively, without any Floridas, seriously, Brazil has one of the best voting systems on earth and we don't pull mistakes and keep Blacks from voting. Everyone votes down there because is a law. and the USA should have that law so everyone would vote.

Energy - go towards massive incentives for wind power and start ending any and all subsidies for oil. Solar power is nice but the solar cells eventually wear out.

Social Security - stop borrowing from it today and keep it secure. Eliminate the tax on it. It is ridiculously stupid to take my money, hold it for 30 years, give me back less than I put in, and on top of that, when you do finally give it back to me, I have to pay tax on it! The whole system needs to change. That won't happen because more than a trillion dollars of the actual U.S. budget is based on the surplus from SS, and they won't ever be paying that money back to us.

Drugs - legalize marijuana and some other drugs, which will instantly create thousands of space in prison for more violent people, free up billions in resources for catching real criminals, and free up thousands of police officers to do more important things. It will also cause overall violence to plummet, since drugs will be much cheaper, and there won't be any drugs lords running around killing people to control their suddenly legal drugs.

Great ideas! It is rucking fidiculous to tax SS checks, and whoever came up with that idea should be (should have been) shot. Also, we need to do like Gore thought we were doing, and have an SS "lock box". And legalizing marijuana would allow it to be TAXED...something you'd think most politicians would get behind in a minute.

Marijuana should not only be legal, but hell, in some cases it should be mandatory. "Here. Smoke this. Now calm the ef down."

Good ideas, all.

What's a politician's main job? To serve, protect, create? No, it's to get re-elected. What's the best way to get re-elected? Pocketbook. My pocketbook.

Fix healthcare costs.
Fix job exportation (is this possible?).
Fix gov't inefficiencies (this burns me ).
Less taxes.
Tort reform must happen and must happen NOW. Here in IL, we have docs fleeing to WI and IN bc the malpractise insurance is so high here. WI and IN have limits. Never mind that malpractice claims have fallen, but docs are going broke paying for their insurance.

This is key. this is about more than the environment too. This is all about not depending on the Middle East and making pillow talk with Saudi Arabia.
