I should run for president!
Why? Because I have a plan to return the USA to it's status of greatness!

1.No one would be allowed to have more than $100 million. All other monies would be forfeited. No one needs all that money!
2.Everyone serves their country for three years, in some capacity
3.Healthcare would be provided by the government (paid for with forfeited monies of mega-millionaires and billionaires)
4.All tax loopholes would be closed. No advantages for the rich or corporations
5.I would impose an outsourcing tax on companies who choose to do it. It would be cheaper to make it here.
6.Our government would be forced to live within its means. No more borrowing until the national debt is paid off.
7.Any acts of terrorism would be punishable by death. No exceptions.
8.The media would be required to report the truth or lose their licenses.
9.CEOs would have a capped salary of $1 million dollars a year (everything forfeited after they acquire $100 million)
10.Gays are allowed to marry in all 50 states with full benefits
11.Military spending would immediately be cut in half
12.The oil industry would be nationalized and gas and oil products would be priced according to costs
13.Banks would not be allowed to speculate and would be constantly scrutinized
14.Amnesty for all illegal immigrants here now and anyone sneaking in after that would be deported to Antarctica!(that oughta do it!)
15.All universities would be nationalized and education is free for anyone who wants it (after serving the country for three years)
16.All government contracts would be voided and would be issued to the lowest bidder
17.Churches would lose all tax exemptions
18.Politicians would not be allowed to accept any gifts or monies from lobbyists. Violations would get them replaced!
19.Anyone caught purposely polluting the environment would lose everything they have.
20.Law enforcement would be held to the highest standards. Violators would be imprisoned.

Hey, it's a start! There's too much shit wrong with this country. Someone has to do something!
