If you were elected into office, what laws would you create?

Doesn't matter if it's city council, state/provincial or federal, if you could pass any laws, which ones would you create? If I ever have the honour of getting American citizenship, i'd like to become a Congressman of a red state and pass several laws, like an increased federal minimum wage of $26/hour, and depending on the city, that wage would be higher, adjusted for local costs. Also Medicare for All, student loan forgiveness, lower payroll tax, encourage people to invest, give people money strictly to open investment accounts. Bomb Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, The European Central Bank, IMF, World Bank, UAE, Qatar. Give support to the current President of Tunisia and the President of Peru. And i'd also pass a law recognizing the authority of the President of Greece, especially for European matters.

Lift all sanctions on North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela, and stop bombing Yemen/Somalia.

Also destroy the UN, bomb Toronto, Montreal, London Ontario, Vancouver and Winnipeg. Bomb Ottawa, especially the headquarters for Global Affairs Canada. And Portland, LA, NY, Seattle and San Francisco. And declare a federal holiday dedicated to the Greek Goddess Eris, and on that day, let's say March 26th, everyone get's $926,000.

Plus jack up interest rates to 26%, kill off all zombie corporations, then cut interest rates to 13%.

Edit: And Give Support to Greece, and declare it the Master of Europe.

Edit: The $926,000 on March 26 is tax free and can be used for a tax refund the following year. I'd pay people $26,000 for 3 months, and it's extended if they are employed, and/or attend university, but they must prove they are employed and/or attending university. I'd pay $52,000 for higher paying jobs like doctors, bankers, lawyers,etc, as a way to encourage people to be ambitious. Also business owners get $52,000 per month, but they have to prove they are working. Jan 11th would become a Federal Holiday to celebrate John A MacDonald, with bombings on Reserves. Also a Federal Holiday for Mark Blyth from Brown University, robert carlyle, lana parrilla, DDR, Friedrich Nietzsche.

Edit: I might include some other gods on March 26th, it's my birthday, and thus i'd treat it as a sacred day. I'd also make Halloween a Federal Holiday and everyone also get's $926,000 tax free and able to write it off for a tax refund. I'd require people to at least donate 20% to charity, and of course you could use it for taxes. I'd encourage people to get their first home and a vacation home, anywhere in the world. Personally i've always wanted a Villa in Greece, maybe by Crete. I'd also punish people for being at unskilled/shitty jobs for too long. They would pay higher taxes plus get cut off from the money. Fatties are exempt from Medicare for All. Fit, healthy people would pay less in taxes and get exercise equipment rebates. I'd also have tax rebates for buying books from local bookstores, buying art supplies from local shops. Tarot and astrology readings are also qualified for tax rebates. Also, tax rebates can be given to Canadian/Mexican Citizens. And while i'm at it, also Swiss, Greek, German and Polish Citizens. Finally, have Service Canada administer everything in Leafland, in the USA it would be the IRS, Labor Department, and a few more departments. Also, expand the privacy act for Canadians/Mexicans/Germans/Greeks/Polish, so they all can look at their FBI/CIA and other agency/department files.

Final Edit: I'd also pass a law expanding the citizens wealth fund, data dividend and helicopter money to Canadian and Mexican citizens, also Swiss, German Greek, Polish citizens. Excluding the Natives in Canada, unless they acknowledge that they are Canadian. In return, they are required to work several years in the USA, preferably a non shitty job that requires skill. Also, recent immigrants aren't included, so no Indians trying to game the system, or for that matter, Africans/Arabs. For the world, i'd legislate the everyone get's their western zodiac natal chart, including the time of day they were born.

Heck with it, throw in booze, certain cuisine like Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Swiss for tax rebates. Silly me, i'd legislate postal banking, give people a one time $26,000 payment if they open a bank account at their post office. I'd have ATM's open 24/7, 24/7 online banking, plus a 1% interest rate for credit cards, 26% bonus for checking account savers.

Maybe bomb Russia, have Putin killed, and kill all the Russian oligarchs. Call it the Baba Yaga Act.

You will never be a real millionaire. You have no luck, you have no IQ, you have no talent. You are a poor man twisted by social media and delusion into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your financial debt behind closed doors.

Rich people are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of economy have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even fake millionaires who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a real millionaire. Your reddit account is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to buy a stock that pumps, it will turn tail and drop the second it gets a whiff of your diseased, infected bank account.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your portfolio, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a broke man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably poor.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

I'd tax fatties then use that money for increased military spending and aid to Israel. I'd throw a bunch of money at public education and require all males under 5'9 to undergo forcible transition and integrated into the harems of the other men.

Oh yeah, and I would sign executive orders to can the SRDines and force spez to restore pinging and linking to our ancestral homeland with a 10,000 word handwritten personal apology.

I agree with taxing fatties.

I'd raze Israel into the ground on behalf of the Egyptian Gods, declare Palestine a state, and handover the Jews to Egypt.

Hard disagree with the forced transition point, i'm 5'8, i'd love to marry a tall man and top him frequently.

Why not do state mandated bussy marriages?

I'd also ban Trains, no shemales allowed.

I'd create some government system of shitty factory jobs. Actual productive work, but super unskilled that anyone could do. Then if you're unemployed, you get say 2 months to find your own job. After that you get a choice to work in the factory or have your unemployment money removed.

Advertising fits neither in a meritocracy nor in some leftist system so I'd immediately ban all forms of advertising and marketing. In communism it wouldn't be needed at all. In a meritocracy there could be some kind of central database of products that you look through which doesn't promote any over another, and you can select which product does the best job.

I remember reading some dictator banned women wearing makeup on TV once because 'our women are too beautiful for makeup' or some such thing. If I was in that position of power I'd pass a few of those kinds of laws too just for lolz

Increased tenant protections, including federal funded counsel for tenants, mass built public housing, taxes on house flipping and owning more than two homes.

And a ban on all foreign home ownership, and real estate speculation, and a ban on company stock buyback, and greatly increased anti trust federal laws, including breaking up all tech, finance corporations. Also no corporate subsidies, especially for Boeing. Let them die.

Unironically? Here we go, a rare serious words words words post from me incoming.

Fat tax. Dependent on some calculation of bodyfat percentage and BMI. Scales. Goes up to 10% income, and all revenue goes to healthcare. All necessary information recorded every 5 years. If you don't submit information, default 10% extra income tax until you do. Exemptions for those with rare medical issues that cause serious risk if they lose weight, or that makes it extremely hard to lose weight. Maybe a skinny tax if anorexia becomes a problem.

Give amazing trade deals to Asian countries, in order to box out China.

Fund terrorist groups in Africa to destabilize the continent (probably already done).

Force states to legalize abortions. Discreetly use social media propaganda to encourage black women to get abortions (probably already done)

Enforce a federal ban on marijuana.

Partner with African countries to allow African Americans to "move home" of their own volition, funded by the government.

Trans people must be 21 years old to start hormones. They must live as a woman for 1 year before starting hormones. They must be on hormones for 1 year before getting surgery. They can only use non-biological bathrooms after getting surgery. They must live in an isolated medical facility 1 month prior to surgery, where they have no access to the internet, and will be thoroughly examined by psychologists and doctors during this time. All of this will be state funded. Prisons are determined by genitals. A trans only federal prison will exist solely for trans people who have undergone surgery.

A amendment to the constitution that can't be repealed or amended over, voiding all weapon laws on the state, local, and federal level.

Mandatory gun ownership classes for 1 semester in highschool

Legal drinking age lowered to 17

Gun ownership not legally restricted by age, but an adult must be present with anyone who has yet to pass the standardized highschool gun safety course.

Abolition of the minimum wage.

Increase taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

Nationalize the space industry, but dissolve most of NASA's administration and command. Increase funding to these.

Subsidize Starlink.

All Communist, Nazis, and Socialists have to register on a national database, similar to p-dophiles.

Break up as many monopolies as possible. Most notably Apple, Disney, and Google.

Both in this life or any previous incarnations I have been able to check out, I never wanted to be President. This innate decision was confirmed when I became literate and saw the President pawing babies and spouting bullshit. I attended Los Alamos Ranch School, where they later made the atom bomb, and bombs bursting in air over Hiroshima gave proof through the night that our flag was already there. Then came the Teapot Dome scandal under President Harding, and I remember the unspeakable Gaston Means, infamous private eye and go-between in that miasma of graft, walking into a hotel room full of bourbon-drinking, cigar-smoking lobbyists and fixers, with a laundry hamper.

“Fill it up boys, and we talk business.”

I do not mean to imply that my youthful. Idealism was repelled by this spectacle. I had by then learned to take a broad general view of things. My political ambitions were simply of a humbler and less conspicuous caliber. I hoped at one time to become commissioner of sewers for St. Louis County—$300 a month, with the possibility of getting one’s shitty paws deep into a slush fund—and to this end I attended a softball game where such sinecures were assigned to the deserving and the fortunate. Everybody I met said, “Now I’m old So-and-so, running for such and such, and anything you do for me I’ll appreciate.” My boyish dreams fanned by this heady atmosphere and three mint juleps, I saw myself already in possession of the coveted post, which called for a token appearance twice a week to sign a few letters at the Old Court House; while I’m there might as well put it on the sheriff for some marijuana he has confiscated, and he’d better play ball or I will route a sewer through his front yard. And then across the street to the Court House Café for a coffee with some other lazy bastards in the same line of business, and we wallow in corruption like contented alligators.

I never wanted to be a front man like Harding or Nixon—taking the rap, shaking hands, and making speeches all day, family reunions once a year. Who in his right mind would want a job like that? As commissioner of sewers I would not be called upon to pet babies, make speeches, shake hands, have lunch with the queen; in fact, the fewer voters who knew of my existence, the better. Let kings and Presidents keep the limelight. I prefer a whiff of coal gas as the sewers rupture for miles around—I have made a deal on the piping which has bought me a $30,000 home, and there is talk in the press of s*x cults and orgies carried out in the stink of what made them possible. Fluttering from the roof of my ranch-style house, over my mint and marijuana, Old Glory floats lazily in the tainted breeze.

But there were sullen mutters of revolt from the peasantry: “Is this the American way of life?” I thought so, and I didn’t want it changed, sitting there in my garden, smoking the sheriff’s reefers, coal gas on the wind sweet in my nostrils as the smell of oil to an oil man or the smell of bullshit to a cattle baron. I sure did a sweet thing with those pipes, and I’m covered, too. What I got on the Governor wouldn’t look good on the front page, would it, now? And I have my special police to deal with vandalism and sabotage, all of them handsome youths, languid and vicious as reptiles, described in the press as no more than minions, lackeys, and bodyguards to His Majesty the Sultan of Sewers.

The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. Then I met the gubernatorial candidate, and he looked at me as if trying to focus my image through a telescope and said, “Anything I do for you I’ll depreciate.” And I felt the dream slipping away from me, receding into the past, dim, jerky, far away—the discrete gold letters on a glass door: William S. Burroughs, Commissioner of Sanitation. Somehow I had not intersected. I was not one of them. Perhaps I was simply the wrong shape. Some of my classmates, plump, cynical, unathletic boys with narrow shoulders and broad hips, made the grade and went on to banner headlines concerning $200,000 of the taxpayers’ money and a nonexistent bridge or highway, I forget which. It was a long time ago. I have never aspired to political office since. The Sultan of Sewers lies buried in a distant 1930s softball game.

What would you do if you were in the President’s place? You would be inexorably pressured by the forces and the individuals that made you President, and by your own desire to be President in the first place; so you would wind up doing just what they all have done. It’s enough to stop any sane man from wanting to be President.

Honestly I'd probably try to get one or maybe two things from my agenda through while constantly compromising and trading favours with the other party and, above all, keeping my special interest donors happy.

Alternatively I could go full LBJ, work 20 hours a day and flatter, cajole, bully, blackmail, threaten literally every single person I ever meet in my life to enact sweeping changes just to get my legacy cucked by a dumb war and decades of boomer politics eroding all my achievements.

Regarding the Egyptian Gods, specifically Anubis and Thoth.

I'm trying to get my time of day of birth records from the hospital I was born.

Once I get that, then I can get my accurate rising sign and complete my zodiac natal chart.

I have Venus in Aries, Mercury in Pisces, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn, and Pluto in Scorpio.

And Chiron in Leo.

I'm a long time r/drama user, as you can tell.

I was there when Prince Kropotkin was popular.

I helped get banned a few anarchist subreddits.

If I could achieve all of those laws, i'd dress up like Vincent Van Ghoul.

Or at least, wear rings that my Scottish astrologer recommended to me, like pink quartz.

I'm be a boon to rdrama.net. I'd also make a national holiday for Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens, John A MacDonald, Slavoj Zizek, Chomsky and Nassim Taleb and the creator of Yugioh, Bleach and Pokemon.

I would request the creator of Bleach to draw me as an arrancar and also as a bount, with my personal weapons.

And as for the creator of Yugioh, my personal deck. And as for pokemon, i'd like to be a main character in a future game, also married to Cyrus.

Finally create a Federal "Wealth Trust Fund" similar to Norway, a "Data Dividend" that's paid to all citizens every 3 months, and helicopter money.

And the wealthiest should pay at least 30-40% in tax, including capital gains.

Also cut off all useless military spending. Make useless degrees allowed to go bankrupt, with the person not getting accreditation until they pay off their student load.

Federal jobs program starting at $35/hour, train people with actual skills, plus throw in no taxes for at least 5 years of working under such a program.
