21. Oy vey.

Legislate an immediate 30% "greed tax" for ANY goods built, assembled, manufactured outside the US, and shipped back her to be sold "on the cheap" ( and by that, I mean the USA..not American Samoa, Guam, or any of the phony "usa" locations we have become accustomed to)..


Right. Killing imports will really make all of the problems go away. And you can forget about exporting anything either if you imposed this.


For companies that RE-locate back to the USA, a 5% REDUCTION of taxes, for every 10% they increase their USA workforce.


Why don't we start by getting them to pay the taxes they're supposed to pay in the first place. 5% of zero is zero.


Maybe set in place a 10 year freeze on salaries for top corporate bosses.. No stock options..just a regular paycheck, like most of us out here.. Maximum $400K is OK..but no more..


What specific problem do you see this addressing?



Make the "networks" peel off the news divisions, and require that they report on ALL the news..even news that's not particularly liked by the "sponsors"..


Who's defining "all the news" then?


Create a c-span-esque channel for each major party, so the candidates could have FREE air time to make their plans evident to us.. and then BAN all paid political advertising..


I'm sure both will achieve the lofty ratings achieved by C-SPAN. Also, you can't "ban political advertising." I'll leave it to you to figure out why that is.
