The US government is corrupt. They are banning freedom of speech. They are trying to control what Americans see and hear. They don't want us to be able to view news, programs, apps, social media from other countries they deem enemies of the state. We can barely view content from countries that are our allies like UK, France, Italy, Israel, ect. Why??
I cant believe this is the country I live in. We haven't been a Republic for a long time. We are a corporation of greedy slimy politicians who don't care that they are destroying the US.
I pray and hope for things to change.
Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard, Meta, the FED, the State Department, Amazon (Just to name a few) are the big players in the fall of America's democratic republic.
These are the companies and nefarious actors who are destroying us. Who are bankrupting the American people and taking away the regulations that protect us, the laws that are suppose to uphold our freedom and pursuit if happiness, and our freedom of speech and freedom to roam. We cannot even consider traveling without being ID'd a million times and deemed a threat if we don't comply to their agenda. They will arrest you, they will silence you, they will make you fight legal battles that can cost you all the money you have just to shut you up. They will seize your assets and bank accounts for years so you cant fight back. They can jail you for your words. That is fascism.
They would turn the military on its' own people if one day we all decide to fight back. The biggest military in the world wiping out its own citizens to silence us. And that this point, it will be the end of our country.
BRICS is united to start a new financial system to fight US corruption and having to use the US dollar in international trade. Russia and China and India and most of the middle east... They hate our government and some of that hatred is justified. These are not nations that I hold in high regard. They are not places I would want to live either. They are not better than the US lets just make this clear. Some of which are so highly corrupt that the US and them are nearly identical except for what they call their political systems.
If the US doesn't want Americans flocking to China or other countries...how about do better?
Remove property and income tax
Term limits and age limits of politicians in every cabinet and position in our government.
Allow for freedom of movement online and with apps and allow the American people to view the media from other countries. Even if they are deemed as an enemy to the US. (We should also stop sex online unless highly regulated for age and humans rights protection and behind a paywall.) Pass data privacy laws to protect American citizens while using the internet. Don't let Meta, the CIA, Amazon sell our data or use it against us.
Have more regulations and protections in place for the American worker so companies stop taking advantage of us. We need to go back to stocks being owned by the employees not hedge funds. Stop forcing employees to offer 401k which is a horrible set up anyway and stop the need to employers to supplement healthcare with universal healthcare. (Technology has made universal healthcare better its not like it was for the boomers) Also allow for unions. They protect skills laborers and harsh market. (Enforce laws to protect union members from union leader corruption)
Get rid of insurance companies altogether. They are scam artists. They are a billion dollar industry who provides nothing.
Allow doctors to own hospitals and allow hospitals to control the cost of medical services. (Creates a better competitive market instead of a monopoly)
Have more financial and tax incentives for small business owners. (Helps build local economies and online economies)
Don't let companies buy up the real estate market- better regulations on who and how they can purchase these things. Allow American citizens to outright own their land. No property tax-Don't sell or rent land in the US to foreign advisories. (Like China and Saudi Arabia)
Disband HOAs and pump more taxes into local communities for their emergency services, infrastructure, waste mgmt, and admin control of their communities. (If they cannot succeed on their own, let the people re-elect their officials) Make is about local not federal.
Pump stronger federal aid in disaster relief instead of letting places like Hawaii and NC lose lives and decimate local economies. The fed is a balloon protection for the US and this should mission #1 in national security.
I do believe in having a mandatory military service aka a draft. Every citizen should serve at least 2 years in the US military. The skills and opportunity from that are immeasurable and can help provide skills and training for adulthood that people may have not received in their childhood. (Not all military positions involve use of guns or violence and people need to be educated on this)
Get rid of large federal government departments that don't do anything. Make them state run departments only under law/rules set by the feds for each state. (Universal law- federal law) We don't need so many useless people in Washington. Each state has unique needs and should be able to regulate themselves while being checked for corruption. (Cut the fat in DC)
Do not let any political figures or members of their families trade in stocks associated with their beneficial political or economic relationships. (Have the insider trading laws apply to them!)
Have fines in political office for misconduct. Like showing up to a vote drunk, violence, cursing, poor conduct ect. so there is a financially penalty for bad behavior. Cannot be enforced by the same people who they effect. (Conflict of interest)
Require law and accounting degrees/ in field experience to be able to run for political positions that involve decisions based on laws and how funds are appropriated. Require at least one outside council. Aka Paid consultants who are lawyers or accountants properly vetted for experience to consult with law and money management of the taxes brought it by the people. (Be an expert or get out)
Get rid of social security benefits because they suck and instead implement financial incentives to invest in the American economy. To educate people to start 401K or Roth IRA or stock trade for their future. If you remove property tax, provide universal healthcare, and remove income tax, the aging population will be able to exist peacefully and not in poverty. People would live longer too.
Universal healthcare. It has to happen. pregnant women shouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars a year on insurance only to get a hospital bill of upwards of a million dollars to bring our next generation into this world. Our elderly shouldn't have to cut their pills in half for life saving medications to make it last longer because they don't have enough money to get food, a home, and meds.
Energy independence, unfortunately we live in a world that is fueled and run by oil. Ours ability to have oil as GDP for world trade provides us a tool to stay at the top of the economic world ladder and this is very important. At the same time, we do need to explore other technologies and not based on job growth or financial incentive. Hydrogen engines and nuclear power are an amazing way to power and fuel the world with little to know environmental impact. We need to be willing to develop these for the future of our planet.
Better government incentives and programs to support American agriculture. Remove oligarchs like Monsanto and remove laws of patented seeds and farming tech. Its universal and owned by the us government or no one uses it. This would also protect small and medium size farmers. Creates stronger regulations on animals farms to ensure to health and quality of life of the animals being used to feed to population.
Protect our borders- build the wall- streamline immigration processes to ensure peaceful and good people are gaining access to the US to help boost our economy and support employment in lower wage jobs meant for unskilled laborer's and pre-career laborers like high school and college students. Every top has a bottom and an economy build on meritocracy is a good economy.
Environmental incentives. Provide text breaks or financial incentives to all American citizens for helping maintain the ecology of their state. Protecting swamps, grasslands, forests, lakes, rivers. The cleaner and the healthier the more federal funding goes towards the state the use has they need. This includes hunting license and encouraging American to get out into to nature and learn about catching and growing your own food. Would help ease the burden of mass meat farms if we all knew how to hunt and grow food. Costs of foods would go down in ideal world because the cost of production would go down.
Stop letting the FED control he value of the American dollar and the interest rates in our country. This should be a committee of a combination of elected officials and educated people in the realm of banking/accounting/economics. They have too much power.
Don't give so much power to the supreme court. If the American people disagree with a law passed, we should be able to mass vote in protest against it. If the majority of American vote opposite of the supreme court, the law should be overturned. (We are the most educated population the US has ever seen and with the help of social media we are educating each other even more! We are the Republic)
We should model our school system like China's. They nailed it with this one. There children are learning math, reading comprehension, self efficacy, physical fitness, music, ect at a very young age in school and have reading comprehension levels and math skills higher than most member of congress. We need to do better in telling the truth of our American passed with an emphasis on how amazing our country is because is was for a long time. We abolished slavery at a time when no nation did and some still have not, we reformed working conditions, we strengthened our economy with innovations and incentivized our people to innovate and create! We protected other countries and saves other populations from tyranny. We grew however painfully into a peaceful and prosperous nation from the dreams of a few farmers who created our constitution. The world before the US was violent and tribal and primitive. We created the industrial age and most technology through the 19th and 20th centuries. We created a country of citizens from all walks of life that governed themselves. This didn't exist before us. This is what we should be teaching but with all the bad parts too. Nothing is wholly good or bad- just like people.
This is just to start...
