What would you change about the U.S. government?

That is...if you could.

I find that is more and more becoming imperialist, but I'm not to great with putting it in words like you gents. My question is that and only that, if you could add, disqualify, or change our U.S. government, I would sure like to know.

IMO, I think health alongside education our the top priorities now.

A comprehensive packaged of improved gun rights
Forcibly remove illegal aliens and do things that motivate them to leave on their own
Implementing a "stand your ground" law nationwide, but allow for someone to use deadly force to defend property, like a car, wallet, or purse
Cutting spending
Repeal Obamacare, start over with a much simpler and cheaper form of healthcare reform
Drop out of the NAFTA agreement
Increase the use of capital punishment for a variety of crimes and streamlining (simplifying) the appeal process
Repeal the Patriot Act
Open up the whole country including offshore coastal waters for drilling and coal mining and use the royalties to fiance alternative energy projects like nuclear and geothermal power
Rewrite tax laws to bring heavy industry back to the US

Legalize all drugs. Implement a structure more similar to a social democracy rather than the current corporatist representative system. Guns are mostly okay where they are right now with the exception of some of the crazier places like NY and Cali. A truly progressive tax rather than the current tax system with its various loopholes and intentionally vague wording. Create a more streamlined process to citizenship but also establish english as the national language and provide resources for immigrants to be able to learn english. A severe overhaul and massive increase in funding for education. It's unacceptable that university isn't available to those who want it but can't afford it. Open up nuclear power options and revise the standards for it as to what is required or not (there are some requirements that are absurdly, overly specific). Requirement that all citizens who serve at the federal level or hold public office must be US citizens and only US citizens, no dual citizens.

There's a lot of other things too but I can't really put on specifics right now....but basically don't allow the jail industry to support politicians and judges so as to make for longer jail sentences (this actually occurs right now). Maybe making it state/federal run only would eliminate that issue, though.

-Make guns illegal - why the hell do people feel they have a right to dangerous weapons?
-Get them to stop trying to extradite Gary McKinnon, and instead offer him a job with a $1m salary
-Start a US version of the NHS

Can't think of anything else for the moment.

I'd change the electorial voting system = That would solve alot, like getting the Republican permanently out of the whitehouse.

Public financing of election campaigns.
Ban bribery in Congress.
End the money is speech nonsense.
Nationalise banks.
Restore government running for instance the military and everything else under government control and cut out all of the contractors who skim huge amounts of money.
Change unionisation laws to make it easier and change the overtime rules to make more workers eligible.
Ban the offshoring phenomenon.
Policies to lighten the private debt overhead that is unsustainable.
Single payer medical insurance scheme.
More upper tax brackets with larger marginal tax rates.
Overturn the Gingrich reforms that gave boards of directors more power over the shareholders.
Crackdown on Wall Street and the banning of the derivatives racket.
Full employment policy.

There are just some things that are required to save the USA from ruin.

I'd turn it into a flower.
