Heres My UCPS-Ultimate Custom Political System. Here goes nothing, plz excuse weirdly worded sentences. P.S. I know some info is conflicting, and this is just something I did in my free time so dont judge too harshly, im only 13 yrs old. (Authoritarian Left) Theory: In order to change a large thing, you must put in considerably more force to rid yourself of it so as to continue on: Example: in order to change a political system that has been in effect for 50 years, you must use a same amount of effort (that you might not enjoy but will benefit in the end) in 1 year that would normally be split into 2. (complete overhaul in as fast time as possible) One Leader chosen to be leader, must hold strong against greed and power hunger, and must be catholic SOCIAL: Republican Social Views Anti Abortion Anti Homosexuality Right of a person honored, but very strict implications used Also: Limited strength of Police Military strictly defence force: no offensive use of military so as to avoid Imperialism Government controls production of armament to military-2nd Amendment used, but private companies can only sell to civilians Main Point: In a democracy, people end up having so much freedom that they end up not knowing what they want anymore, and walk like sheep to the march of the corporations drum People should only have enough freedom to be happy and not so much that they become enveloped in a consumerist society and spin theory ECONOMIC: Socialist economic views strong legislation of Corporations (Something like the FDIC) Corporations main goal is to create things for common good of consumer: NOT for profit (although they will obviously be making profit) Taxes on rich will be higher exponentially for the amount of money you make so as to achieve no class difference between middle class and rich (although there will always be poor persons): e.g. everyone who makes 250,000 dollars or more will only bring in 250,000 dollars after taxes, no matter how much you make No lobbying of any sort will be allowed and super packs or donations to political members from anyone other than non for profit associations will be prohibited so as to avoid corruption the more money you make and the more power you have, the more you will be surveyed and spied so as to avoid corruption or white collar crime. remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and the more damage they can do Investments and stock markets will need to be free of speculators so as to retain stability Car companies will be restricted to the height and size of vehicles for safety purposes, and will not be allowed to make vehicles that achieve less than 35 mpg Owners of electric vehicles will be given incentives to purchase such as tax deductions and benefits INDUSTRY/INFRASTRUCTURE: Solar, Wind, Hydro, Dynamo, Thermal (from earth), and Nuclear: only energy sources allowed Houses can provide own energy if wanted. If solar panels, windmills,wave power etc. can not be afforded one will be appointed to you EDUCATION: reform NCLB act so that teachers are not held accountable for students mistakes, and get rid of corporations who politicize and turn education into a profit machine. please add ANYTHING you see missing in comments.
I highlighted a couple of points you made. Of course it is Utopia, but with a different twist. You show promise for one so young and a better skill at writing than some in here. Those areas I italicized seem to be a contradiction to your "the more money you make and the more power you have, the more you will be surveyed.... " In general, people should be accorded proper respect for talent and abilities and innovation. The Right to ones own intellectual property and trademark encourages others to strive, to be better. Artistic value determines a person's notoriety. But the notion of "surveyed" is the installation of a Police State. You cannot have Liberty and a Police State side by side. Now, two pieces of advice: read varying opinions and examine the mood of the thread. If you are of firm conviction, regardless, don't be bullied. Stand tall read each word carefully and study the intent of the users words. Good Luck with this..............stj
I would line my hat with Aluminum Foil on the inside to hide my shielding from your agents scans for Un PC thinking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat A tin foil hat is a hat made from one or more sheets of aluminium foil, or a piece of conventional headgear lined with foil, worn in the belief it shields the brain from threats such as electromagnetic fields, mind control, and mind reading. We are almost there ! Witness - 2 old farts spout off racist stuff that reflects life when they were young, and not one believes it could be organic. Aging people are often back then and not with today every synaptic firing in "manners", idiosyncrasies, etc. I am 65 and for years I have felt the demons of ADHD come back in my life. I can't sit still. I would therefore not be as hard on them as I would if it were some, 40 year old. Moi No
How can a voter know this leader is really on the side of the people and not of a powerful and wealthy (in a system with a capitalistic foundation) ruling establishment? This is one of the big problems populations face today, that most media is part of the political system, so used as propaganda tool (strong influence over people's thoughts, mind. Politicians are used to manipulate large numbers of voters in the current political system.
I like that you concerned about this stuff at age 13 it's refreshing. Read about the history of government's and find out what worked and what didn't. That may help you see all the holes in your plan above. Corruption will squeeze through the tiniest hole. I suggest reading about the Roman empire. See what kind of government they were in the beginning and what they eventually became. In my opinion no system is fool proof against corruption. Look at the United States, when it was conceived it was a great nation, through out time people forgot the tyranny of England and the church. They turned into sheep as you said above. Became more worried about keeping up with the Jones's. When you get done reading about the Roman empire, look at American history. Not your school book! Look into the bankruptcy of 1933 &1950 I think you will find it very interesting. America didn't start out as we are today. Corruption and sheepeople got us to this point. The deed to America doesn't even belong to it's citizens, neither do its citizens.
"No lobbying of any sort will be allowed and super packs or donations to political members from anyone other than non for profit associations will be prohibited so as to avoid corruption" All governments are corrupt and will always be. Governments are power, and we know what power does.
