9. I don't know what you would call it, but EVERYONE would have an equal chance at life, EVERYONE

would be provided for... there are thousands upon thousands of empty homes, and whole housing projects, sitting empty all over the Country, yet we have a homeless epidemic.

EVERYONE would be paid a living wage, and women would make the same amount of money that men do for doing the exact same job.

There would be *at least* a 90% inheritance tax, a 90% Trust Fund Tax, and corporations would be *required* to pay their fair share of taxes, and invest their profits back into their own companies, instead of sucking off of the Government teat with subsidies and tax breaks.

ANY American owned business/corporation that off-shored their companies to foreign countries to bypass the minimum wage and/or taxes would be *required* to pay trip;e the current import tax to bring their product back into the US, or they would be hit with an embargo where they couldn't even sell their product here, period.

free tuition from Pre-K, through University level for those who want it, but they would have to take their studies seriously and maintain a certain grade point average. There are way too many people out there who WANT to go to collage, but they, nor their family, can afford for them to go, but we now have these rich, spoiled BRATS that go just because their family can pay for it, but they have NO INTEREST in learning anything, they just want to be there for the "Party Time". The inheritance and trust fund taxes would cut a LOT of that out anyways.

I could continue, but I need sleep now, and I think you get the gist of what I mean.

Peace,

Ghost
