not sure about the mandatory voting and outlawing tipping. Just compliance wise. Not voting itself can be a intended thing and I can't think of any country where you have a gun to your head to vote taht is a place I would want to live. As for tipping you will just turn it into bribery. No place should be allowed to pay with the expectation tips is part of compensation. Tips are a gift basically.
UBI requires such a large reorganization of the economy that you may as well add democratization of the workplace, and it would get done earlier. I think both would be great personally.
I like a lot of your proposals,but I don’t think they will fix everything. Certainly an improvement though.
I don’t think the supreme court changes would fix issues with the court, and I think a 15 yr. limit could make it worse.
Each presidential term would get 2-3 nominations per term, allowing them to establish a majority if elected for 2 terms. Considering how powerful the court is, allowing a president to establish a majority simply by being in office for 2 terms isn’t great.
Mostly. I'm fine with some of these being left up to the states, like prostitution and marijuana, although I do think marijuana's federal status should change (from schedule 1, to a much lower schedule). Also, I think the highest tax bracket should be 99%, or even 100%. But that highest bracket should be a very high number, like 0.001% of GDP.
MANDATORY voting... Let's be real, we have people who are unable to read the candidates' personal statements, you really want them voting?
That'll be used to get President Camacho legislating Mandatory plant watering using Gatorade.
Mandatory voting I dunno.
The rest are definitely good, I'm thinking just having a whole ass revolution might be easier than getting all this done, and as a bonus would come with additional benefits.
