Wishful thinking...It's just me

Steps I think we should take to make America a good country:

• MMA, Tai Chi and yoga mandatory for all grade levels (kindergarten starts out with just the yoga)
• Weapons training with firearms, blunt and sharp instruments as well as street fighting and strategy/tactics classes mandatory from 5th grade on with younger grades learning care, maintenance and full history (offensive and defensive) of all weaponry
• Mandatory one (1) year of military service sometime between 18-25
• Learning money handling, economics, finance starting in 1st grade
• From 1st grade must learn three (3) languages or more. Oral and written
• From 1st grade there must be serious discussions of history and the repercussions of decisions that were made at the time. Not just a regurgitation and memorization of dates and names
• All grades: Must practice at least two (2) art forms of any medium
• Must participate in one (1) Science or Tech fair per year starting in 5th grade
• Internships and apprenticeships will be provided by area companies during high school for students who have a career path in mind but with no contractual requirement to continue on with that company after high school

The above is for all children, male and female.
That is all for the schools that I can think of right now.

• All government programs will be streamlined to run more efficiently, with fewer loopholes
• Any law that cannot be reasonably enforced will be removed from the books, including obsolete laws
• Any law that is only on the books 'for our own good' will be removed
• The only laws that should be on the books are laws that enforce not harming another person
• All drugs, alcohol and weapons will be legal to own, use and sell
• Any harm caused another person against their will with any of the above or exacerbated by the above will have severe, harsh consequences
• The selling of any of the above to minors will be met with equal intolerance
• Prostitution will be legal
• Drugs, alcohol, weapons and sex will all be monitored, licensed and taxed by the government
• All sex workers will be required to undergo 3 month health exams

You can see that the above would simultaneously save money by ending the war on drugs and sex, and make a lot of money off of all the above.

•  Corporations will be penalized for moving jobs or money out of the country unnecessarily
• Small businesses will get assistance for creating new jobs
• Tax law will be streamlined to close any loopholes
• If a company is not run properly and needs government assistance to stay in business, the executives in charge of the business will not be rewarded with money and exit packages and may even see jail time if the damage is widespread
• There will be heavier levies on companies whose manufacturing or other services are done outside of the country; the more of a product that is made in country, the more of a break that company will get

I know I have more about business and the greedy you-know-whats who run them but I can't think of anymore right now

• Those in Congress shall not have been lawyers as that creates an imbalance and conflict of interest between the Judiciary and Legislative branches of government
• Those holding office shall not have any free benefits that are not readily available for all in the country; so no free health care for themselves and their entire families, no free rides in government vehicles of any kind that do not relate directly to a government function and shall never include family, their salaries/benefits do not continue after their term of service
• Those in office may not accept money or gifts in any way, shape or form from anyone
• Those running for office shall only use the public money allotted to them to run for office and will be disqualified if it is found that any outside money, support or gifts were accepted during their campaign
• Any bill that is introduced for consideration may not have any riders in the bill that do not pertain directly to that bill
• In no bill that is admitted for consideration will there be any earmarks that are not directly related to the main thrust of the bill

I know I have so much more but I can't think of any right at the moment. This one I may come back and update if I think of anything else that I think is pertinent.

And that's My 25 cents...
