If You Were A Dictator...

[Pudding Time]

Yeah, I don't really like the whole "classless" society thing, really. I mean, I see it's point, but I think people who work hard should be rewarded rather than rewarding people who leech off of others.

No reason they can't be rewarded.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

No.. I'd put caps on the amount of money one person can accumulate. No ones needs more than $20,000,000 in personal finances. Anything made after that, they would either have to put into a business (theirs or someone else's) or hand over to the government.

Making things harder on the wealthy via forced limitations and significantly higher taxes would:

1. Discourage businessmen to invest/grow/provide more opportunities.
2. Encourage them to hide more (assets, taxes etc).

By high order of the Grand Executive Leader **** (name blanked out), the following measures will be instituted:

There shall be no law abridging freedom of trade and production
There shall be no law abridging freedom of guns and hunting, except where it interferes with property rights.
There shall be no law abrdging freedom of speech, trade, press, parties, politics, or religion, except where the very core of an act is deemed harmful to others.
There shall be no public property; all property is private.
There shall be no law instating an Income Tax. A sales tax by the federal gov't will do.
The Military shall be considered it's own private operation, independent of politicians, except when declaring war/peace.
The Police force will be the most heavily funded operation in the entire country (soon, the ONLY funded operation)
Charities established by wealthy individuals (myself included (I'm dictator, I've got money)) shall replace welfare services.
When I decide the country is Lazzaie-Faire enough to hold it's own, I'll abidcate office.

If his most gracious and brilliant leader, the Grand Executive Leader ****, thinks of any other measures of importance, they shall be listed in due course.

I will make it so that the gifted, hard working students with high grades (like AEF) should have points shaved off their GPA to give to those who don't work as hard but certainly deserve the same good grades. Anyone with a 4.0 GPA shall lose 1 point to a student with a 2.0 GPA so they both have a 3.0.

Taxes will not be withheld from incomes, sales tax will be adjusted accordingly.

My government will be the smallest in US history and will exist only to do what the private sector cant, wont, or shouldnt do.

 

[BaggedSplash]

in my country called "Lowered Land" i would implament the following:

- all road traveling vehicles MUST BE bagged and body dropped
- national drinking beverage: beer
- national bird: your middle finger
- national food: pizza and hot wings
- the national anthem shall be Lowrider by WAR
- all women must be clean shaven in all areas (with the exception of their head)
- the police force will be run by Dunkin Donuts
- year long hunting will permitted
- gas prices shall be no more than $1 for a gallon of gasoline as well as diesel

 

[MMMMatilde]

Hmm,

I'd legalise gay marriages
Bann smoking in public places
Bring in the death penalty for extreme cases (if you want to know more about this one PM me)
I'd have more policemen around Australia
Lower taxes for people who really can't afford it and increase it for people with to much moneysss..
Umm, I'd also make me famous :| (Yes, I know, higher taxes lol!)

Ooooh, and I'd ban Madonna from making anymore music!

SIEG HEIL! O/

Why are you against public property?
Why would you ever want to give the military that much power?

And lol there is no such thing as a free market.

.....thats a terrible idea.

.

May I remind you that Hitler was a socialist, and would hate my ideas of an independent military, free market, and democratic legislature, political freedoms, and social liberties.

Anyways,
Public property is destructive to the ultimate achievement of great Lazzaie-Faire utopia. In order to make it so that almost every piece of land can produce a profit, corporatins, buisnesses, and private home owners should be allowed to have property. Having public property (which rings up taxes) is destructive to that goal of every piece of land becoming profitable.

And I'm not really giving the military that much power (when I say military, I mean only outside of the national borders). They can just fight the war as they need to, with no pressure by politicians. They won't be able to declare war - that still rests with the politicians - but the military will be able to fight it's war as it wants to.
Why? Because the politicians that seek to influence the fighting of a war seek to grow their own political power, whereas military leaders seek to win the war quickly and easily. If we keep them out of the politician's power, then the military leaders will get the war won quicker and easier.

Lol, the free market is the only thing keeping civilization afloat. But there hasn't been a compleatly free market yet, no, but someday...

If the military isn't the one declaring the war, then it's not really "their" war

The politicians gave it to them, and asks them to fight it. So I think it can be classified as "their" war.

Nope, not at all. If it were up to the military, we'd probably never fight a war again. If the politicians send them to one, of course they'll do their job to the absolute best of their abilities. But that doesn't make it "their" war.

Hmmm...I think I'm beginning to see your point...I'm not sure if I totally agree, but I think I'll consider it.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

Can't have an independent military...a military that's not governed by the government. That's a recipe for disaster.

100% agreed. But a military over-governed by the arm-chair quarterbacking politicians is just as bad.

He was a NATIONAL socialist, which is very different from a democratic socialist. Democratic socialists enjoy everything you listed and support them.


Ugh...Utopias can never work because democracy aims for mediocrity in order to have equality. That has always been true, and utopias can't be mediocre, unless you want to throw democracy out the window. Utopias are stuff of dreams, not the real world.


The problem with all land being private is the fact that individuals will expend it all JUST for a profit. What about public parks? Public national parks? I wouldn't trust them in the hands of corporations at all.


Politics and war are one, and are basically inseparable. They go hand in hand because all war deals with politics. I cringe at the very thought of letting generals go unchecked at what they do. I can only imagine the undocumented crimes that would occur.


There is no free market in America damn it. Ever hear of the FED?

wait whats wrong with that? you can't overtax poor people. Tax people who have the money. They won't be hurt by it.

 

[FreeWorkVest]

I would randomly reward people with houses,cars and/or money for being "heroes of the realm", but I would also have a secret police that would randomly arrest people on trumped up charges of "undermining the security of the country" then have them exectued
