What would you do?

A question to all:

If you were in charge of your country, what would you do differently?

Just curious...

In Singapore:
Be less rigid and more liberal, for example, be more open to people's own choice etc.

Greetings Smith&Wesson Girl,
In the USA we must re-establish the voice of labor. The Unions have a bad reputation. This is exploited by the OWNERS and MANAGEMENT to their advantage. What made the USA a great country formerly, was the SOCIAL CONTRACT between CAPITAL and LABOR. This contract is now broken beyond repair. We are on the way to become another Mexico. The rich will be filthy rich and the poor will be filthy poor.
Secondly, we must re-establish the value system where quality time with family is
valued as much as material posessions do.
In the USA TOYS are KING. Vacations, holidays
and traditions are not important. Soon Americans will be working on Christmas Day
to pay for all the toys, with interest naturally. People must understand that CAPITALISM means that you earn interest
or dividends on your money. Most Americans pay far more interest than they earn.
Thirdly, We have to bring the Gun Issue to
a happy compromise. Without any threat of confiscation of existing legal weapons, we must limit the commerce in additional guns.
Those would be my priorities. Issues like crime, healthcare, drug trafficing would be all be taken care of as the end result.
Good Luck

If I got in charge i would remove alot of goverment programs,including S.S.People are smart enough to save their own money.I would repeal any law even getting near violating the Bill of rights.I would end the futile war on drugs.I would make goverment smaller,remove all fedral programs.And if I could get away with it I would do away with income tax.If I got in charge thats all I could do.The rest is up to the people.If they want to start living life or clinging to material things is their choice.And forcing anyone to change is wrong.Basicaly make it as free as possibile.

And also I would do something about the income gap,but of cource again people's greed and buying habbits are partly to blame,We need values in this country and im not sure how to re-insstate them,Can someone do that??Or do the people have to change?Im not 100% sure yet,but ungaro yes thats a huge problem.But I dont want to go sociaist,this country used to never have this problem.Well we will see.....

Greetings,
Did I say anything about SOCIALISM? I think that I mentioned SOCIAL CONTRACT between
CAPITAL and LABOR. Yes that is what it was called. What it means is that CAPITAL was
willing to share the profits with LABOR.
We do not have that any more. We have minimum
wage. Not a living wage, I mind you.
Good Luck.

In my country (Mexico) I would have a brave attitude towards the tyrany of USA. I would also demand to those full of bucks pigs than they should evitate their youth consuming drugs, ´cause this affects my country. "We are becoming another Mexico" shut up, dirty money full pig! Mexico may be not perfect, but we are a very progressive nation. A lot of mexican´s problems are also USA´s fault. Like drugs traffic, manipulation of elections for president, a free commerce without a social face. Well... I would also not privatizate Mexican Petrol. I would follow a free commerce based on the strengts of national industry instead of foreign invertion, more social programs, a war againsts narcos and some other social reforms to give the Chiapas problem an end.

Kremlin---how is it americas fault for these problems in Mexico--drug traffic,maniplation of elections of president,a free commerce without a social face?
Also strengths of national industry instead of foreign intervention. If it wasn,t for foriegn intervention mexico would be dead broke.Mexico was able to barrow lots of money because of foreign intervention to keep the economy up and for the natural disasters such as floods and slides.
As far as drug--there has already been sights of trucks carrying mexicans wearing military type uniforms crossing into u.s hunting down drug traffic controllers in the u.s. because the drug lords have put a bounty price tag on drug traffic patrolers along the the bourder to be shot and killed.
Its money in the pocket for the mexicans to shoot and kill the border patrols.
If I was president I would put up a big wall(bigger then the wall of china) all along the border between mexico and u.s. and not let anymore mexicans in the u.s.
The people can stay in Mexico if its such a progressive nation, like you said.
