What would YOU do if YOU were in charge!!!

[The One and Only...]

If you had complete control of the country, what would you do for it? This is the question I am asking you.

To start it off, I'll go first:

I would change almost everything so that it would follow all the ideas here: http://www.lp.org/issues/

HOWEVER, I would also do the following. Note that if any of these are contrary to the link above, this takes precedence:

Change #1. Education by the govt. WOULD exist - I would initiate something that I like to call "entreprenurial government". This is a political theory I have (loosely) constructed in my mind, and varies depending on how it is funded and what it is for. I will relate it to education here:

1. The government education system (GES) is not funded by taxes. Instead, it is funded by those who are taught there - each family who takes lessons in school must pay tuition per child (the per child aspect may change through reception). This money is used to fund the individual school and all of it's personel.

2. The GES scales based on personel. For example, if a school rakes in $1 million dollars of profit, 70% would be split up among the teachers, 5% the janitors, etc. Note these are not the actual figures, as I am not an expert in that particular field.

3. The GES does not exist everywhere. If the majority of people in a local are upper middle class and many private businesses exist, there is no need for the system to be implimented. The system is used primarily in poor areas with few school choices: in such an area, multiple government run schools may be initiated so as to have them compete - the ones that do better have more members.

Why the GES: The GES's goal is to provide affordable and excellent education. It is very much a business: the more efficent it is, the more it's worker's receive in pay since it will have more customers.

The problem with completely adopting the Libertarian's system is that it assumes some private schools will aim for the poor family. While it is fine and dandy if it does, it is always good to have a back-up plan: remember, this is only used if felt necessary.

Next up: A change made into the government that allows the people to directly vote on laws!!! Read up on it when I edit my post later tonight!!!
