Proposed Solutions to Government AbuseVoted for by wbiro.
The Perfect President:
"I would like to keep government simple.
A complex government offers too many temptations for abuse;
it offers too many criminal opportunities.
"I believe that no one likes to take a criminal opportunity when one is seen, when one is discovered, when one is chanced upon.
"It is a terrible fork in the road of life, and the wrong path brings with it two evils-
first the temptation of gaining that which you did not wholesomely earn.
Such gains are in themselves evil, and will eventually destroy a person-
either eating away at him from within, or turning him into a remorseless monster.
Second, the notion of personally teaching society a lesson by hurting it is faulty;
while it may fall along the lines of slapping an errant child,
by taking the criminal opportunity rather than properly flagging, correcting, or policing it
you then turn yourself into a criminal rather then reaping the reward.
"Therein lines the problem. What reward? Often there is none, and often just the opposite; and therein lies a piece of my answer.
"You see, being an average person, I have faced many criminal opportunities in my life,
just like the rest of you; and just like the rest of you,
I have managed to resist most of them, have reported some of them, and,
unfortunately, even have taken some of them, much to my regret.
A few I have gotten away with,
(which are for me to know and for investigative journalists to find out!)
and are on my conscious.
The rest I have been caught at, and duly punished.
Sometimes the punishment was shame and self-loathing,
and having to live with myself for the rest of my life.
Other times the punishments were more immediate.
Sometimes I was treated with sympathy and leniency,
and was grateful and glad to have been caught,
rescued from a nightmarish path that offered no easy exit,
and vowed never to take that path again in return.
Other times I was treated ruthlessly, and harshly, which I accepted,
or brutally and cruelly, which I did not.
But at all times I wished that I had come clean first,
and I can imagine that repeat offender wish they had an incentive to retire,
something to help overcome the hurdles that exists in quitting such addictive criminal activities.
"My plan involves amnesty.
For one week each year, current government abusers can come clean, can retire,
without retribution for their confessed crimes.
Yes, there is a catch: you will have to do some work-
you must bring along a solution to the problem, so the government defect can be fixed,
to save others from the hell-holes that you all have dug yourselves into.
To help fix the problem, you will describe how you fell into your current criminal life,
not naming names, but from a defective government structural standpoint,
so you can contribute to the government’s improved efficiency and honesty in managing its employees and tax revenues,
even if it means nominating yourself to a new policing post-
for, in order to prevent and catch criminals, one often needs a criminal mind himself, and you’ve gained that skill.
"What to do with your ill-gotten gains?
The trade-off for you keeping your ill-gotten gains is thaat you have contributed to the government defect being fixed.
If you have not given due diligence and you have simply created another scam and con-game,
then the government will take back what you’ve taken;
but at least your punishment will end there.
If you do nothing and wait for our criminal investigators to catch up with and prosecute you,
then your punishment will be thorough.
"No government likes to create criminals by offering such temptations.
A complex government by nature offers more holes and temptations for abuse that a straight-forward one.
There are two solutions there- maintain the complexity of the government and correcting the defects,
or simplify the government.
It is most likely that both paths will be taken, though I prefer simplifying the government,
and I shall, wherever genius formulates a solution and a choice presents itself.
"There you have it on government corruption-
an annual amnesty week to take a load off of our investigative branches,
simplifying government whenever genius finds a solution and a choice presents itself,
and, as a bare minimum, identifying and patching existing holes,
discovered either during amnesty week or through criminal investigations and prosecution.
"Please get out of your abusing situation by choosing the former rather than waiting for the latter."

really?oh ho!
new presidency...cabinate, senate, supreme court judges, joke?
i used to hope for change, but now i no loger hope. hope is as promising an initiative as a prayer. don't get me wrong... i just mean to say that i am inclined to do more...more than hope....
i am a creature of action. hope is an idolatry.
i haven't the time to waste....
the country needs to stay together for the next 4 years. by that time, israel will have been invaided and occupied, american's will shift from reliance on government, to reliance on self and the rights of the self.
the gov. has it's loopholes in place, and no matter the face plastered to the parade.... the president is not the ipso-facto ruler of this nation. the patriot act was designed for the future. remember this. it isn't a consiracy, it is real. it came and went in the media, and for some reason we let it slide quickly from our thoughts... shit, i never heard any argument from the public against it. terrorism seemed an appropriate threat for such an intrusive stripping of our basic rights to have been erected....
how is it that the majority of this nation's population still trusts that the government has their safety and best interest at heart. bull shit.
just need to keep together....
4 years max.
