There would be no homeless people in the world if I could help it.There would be no more people standing on the streets begging for spare change. I would change the amount of money a temporary agency could take out of a person's check. I think the temporary companies take advantage of their workers everyday.
I would build more new schools for children. No child would have to go to school in a trailer. I would tear down all of the older schools. I would make sure that all schools would have new books. I would provide all the children with all of their school supplies.
I would raise the minimum wage in the U.S. to ten dollars an hour. I would create enough new jobs to end unemployment. I would come up with new tax breaks so everyone would benefit from them. I would make a college education affordable for every high school graduate.
I would build affordable housing for everyone. Foreclosure would become a thing of the past. I would regulate bank loans on cars and houses. Cars would become affordable for everyone.
I would close down all of the adult entertainment clubs. Pornography wouldn't be sold in adult stores. I would make it illegal to become an adult film star. Prostitution would be a thing of the past. There would be stiffer penalties for prostitution arrests.
I would make it harder to obtain a liquor liscense. The legal drinking age would be increased. Cigarettes would become an illegal substance. They would no longer be sold in the United States.
I would put driver's education back in the schools. Driver's liscences would only have to be renewed every ten years. There would be more DMV stations in North Carolina. The DMV offices would be open later.
Medicine would be affordable to everyone. Healthcare would be obtainable to anyone with a job or children. All women and men who hold the same jobs would be paid the same wages.
Every man, woman and child would be treated the same all over the world. Racism would not exist all over the world. Racism would become a crime in the United States. There would only be one race of people.
If I could change the world there would be no teenage pregnancy. All abortions would be illegal unless the babies were deformed. There would be no disease and mental retardation. Every human being would be healthy throughout their lives in a perfect world.
In my world every mother would recieve child support. Failure to pay child support would become a felony. Birth control would be free. All teeenage children would learn about birth control. There would be no more need for food stamps.
There wouldn't be two seperate parties in politics. There would be two presidents of the United States. There wouldn't be so much responsibility or pressure on one man or woman. Every country would have a democracy.
I would do away with the illegal drug trade. I would have stiffer penalties for people who violate drug laws. I would have automatic appeals for all murder suspects. Rape would be punishable by death in the United States.
