[KissMeDeadly]

Alright, so, let's be blunt here. The United States of America is falling the fuck apart. I think we all know what I'm talking about here. Economically, culturally, and educationally, we're kind of sucking right now.

I know too many Americans who acknowledge this, but instead of saying, "Yeah! I should get active and attempt to help fix it!" they say, "FUCK THIS PLACE ENGLAND IS SO MUCH BETTER OHMYGOD I'M NOT AMERICAN CAUSE MY GREAT GREAT GRANDMA IS IRISH AND THAT MAKES ME IRISH TOO OHMYGOD"

So, lets here at Gnet attempt to think of solutions for the country, you know, just for funsies.

Here's how we should do it: You got a problem with the way the good ole' US of A is doing things? Point it out, and make a suggestion about how you would fix it.

I'll start with something that is probably too complex and large for me too fully comprehend. The economy.

Now, I'm not exactly an expert, but it seems to me that returning actual industry to the United States would be a major help. So, instead of buying all of our clothes from China and having India do our tech support....why don't we just do it?

All the new (or, more often, re-opened) factories would open up thousands of jobs in every state. This, of course, isn't as easy as it sounds, because corporations find it much cheaper to use Chinese folks with their sweat-shop labor as opposed to our adults who require a minimum wage, and days off, and food, and all that good stuff.

I would suggest fixing this by removing the rights of a corporation. In the United States, a corporation has the same rights as a citizen, and is counted as such. I don't know if it's like that in other places, but regardless, I think we should strip this away. A Corporation is not a single entity, and it should no be treated as such. It is also not a person, and so it should not be treated as such either.

This way the government could get a little better grip on said corporations, and regulate them much better. I know it sounds a little scary to some people, giving the government more control, but honestly, a government is there (or should be there) to do anything and everything to benefit the people it governs. If it's OK to drop bombs on innocent women and children in sandy countries, then damn it, it should be OK to tell Wal-Mart to cut its shit the fuck out, and actually back it up as opposed to suggesting it and hoping that it'll listen to you.
