General Discussion

You could pay for a whole bunch of that with a Land Value Tax.

I am actually not sure about the coroprate home ownership point. Here in Germany renting is much more common and accepted compared to the US, and i think there are lots of situations where this makes sense. However both in the US and here in Germany the systems need changes. And i think they should mostly target land ownership rather than the houses themself. What drives up the prices in desired areas are mostly increases in land value, not that building houses got that much more expensive (although that is also a factor).

And most of that value gain are from external factors rather than the owners own merit. If someone builds an architectually great and energy efficient house or develops land, then it is fine if he gains value from it. But if simply owning the property improves the value over time, because society around it builds nice schools, parks and so on. Then the owner hasn't done anything and that profit should be taxed completely away. If that makes sense.

That said there probably should also be a mechanism to support the first home people own to counteract scale efficiencies that corporations might be able to leverage.

Not sure if outright banning stocks for politicians is the way to go, but there should be more points regarding transparancy and conflicts of interest. Also not just during their time in office, but after that aswell.

I'd have no issue with politicians holding a borad market index fund.

Needs more limitations on investment in the stock market, more investment into co-ops and employee owned businesses, and more investment into rail infrastructure and other good civic infrastructure at the federal level. Also, change from general ranked choice voting, to the schulze method.

Also I wanna see a real move towards taco tuesday. We think it's a meme or whatever, but like an experimental free food day, or free single meal, for at least one day a week, seems totally achievable, and like it would do some good. Maybe try to integrate some community gardening into it or something, set up some federal system for that, that would be fucking sick dude hoo lee.

Edit: If you're getting rid of states, or like, trying to rethink them, I think I remember seeing some maps redrawn with states if they all had totally equal population, which you could do, and I've also seen some maps that allocate states based more on natural resources, than just having like, a lot of the western states be shitty squares and stuff. I think I saw one based on water tables, but I can't seem to find it or remember the name of it. You'd probably wanna go in for stuff like that, if you wanted to still retain the idea of states, and give them a reason to exist but also be fair and not lame.

Legalize all drugs. Keep prices low(street value) with quality monitoring paid for by tax of product. Any further tax revenue from product to be used for addiction treatment.

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.

Excellent project OP, this is cool

The America patch notes of our dreams

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.

I would add:

Equal Rights Amendment

Reverse Shelby County v Holder

Reverse District of Columbia v Heller

Add ethics code for Supreme Court with enforcement authority

Discharge federal student loan debt and regulate higher education costs

Demilitarize police

Ban property tax based school funding

Abolish the death penalty

Federally mandated paid vacation, paid sick leave, overtime over 40 hours, and a ban of right-to-work laws.

Allow the Army Corps of Engineers to repair and maintain infrastructure.
