What's new

If I Was In Charge....

I would also repeal the federal income tax and disband the IRS. The states could still collect income, sales, property and whatever other taxes they wanted. The feds would have to request money from the states instead of the other way around, as was intended.

Ice cream and skittles would be free to all. MIT would be repurposed with developing and bringing to market all the cool stuff we see on Star Trek. Citizenship/Manners classes would be a part of every school curriculumn. Orientation for any office job would include watching the movie Offic Space. Afternoon naps and milk time would be introduced into the workplace effective immediately.

Why? would your expectations be any different?:biggrin:

Yep, it would eliminate all speeches, debates, political commercials and campaining in general. Imagine that, nothing left for them to do but govern!:thumbup1:

I will quote George Costanza. "If you belive it, it's not a lie."

Yes, that would be the ideal. I get giddy every time there is a fight about the federal budget and there is a chance of a shutdown. I would offer this as the best case practical outcome though. Let them just keep the trains running on time and I'll consider it a win.
Cheers,

One of many...I make it legal for people to smack customer service personnel(waiters, store clerks, bank clerks, etc.) who are either stupid or rude. They would be prohibited from defending themselves under severe penalty of law if they move or defend.

If your company is going to provide customer service over the phone, Reps are required to speak English as their first language.

Telemarketers.....Death penalty immediate no appeals

If you are going to drive 55 in the fast lane it will be legal for the public to shoot your tires on the spot.

More later....
 
Song: If I Were a Rich Man Lyrics

[TEVYE]
"Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor.
But it's no great honor either!
So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you're rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

Easy way to detect a lie, if their lips are moving, they are lying. See, Darren's simple lie detector for politicians and managers :biggrin:
