(41 posts)Certain measures can be taken to rectify the situation; they are harsh measures and not for the weak of heart. But those measures can ensure that the situation would be corrected and true equality granted to the common man. I've written a manifesto on the subject; but this is not the place to post it.
A list of possible measures would include the abolition of the two-party system; ideally placing the Democratic Party in ultimate control; reducing the remaining parties to clusters of a few hundred members at best with no real voice. Reducing the individual states to geographical regions for census and financial purposes, stripping them of their remaining powers to create and enforce legislation. A reduction of the military to a standing force of 25,000 personnel and moving the Department of Defense to a division of the Department of State would remove a large burden on the budget; freeing up funding for other purposes. A shifting of the population to more concentrated urban areas would alleviate our need for fossil fuels, if done so with the creation of a mass public transit system; (less vehicles = less pollution).
In short our Republic needs a reformation from the inside out.
