Kylon Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 This is where you would go to post a new idea about a government policy, how to create new government policies, improve on existing ones, talk about creating Utopias ect... Some of my ideas Co-Operatives- These would be like farmers co-operatives except also for science and for business. The government would organize companies to work together, scientist to work together, spliting and deciding the spoils after the co-operative is done. This would try to have people work together so that they can generate more $$$ and more technology. Sounds stupid or unrealistic but it could be achieved somehow This should be run by banks. Science income grants- What these would be is the government could say- WE WILL PAY X AMOUNT FOR RESEARCH IN THIS AREA. Then the scientist could work on it and perhaps come up with a solution and make some money. This wouldn't just be like millenium prize problems, or really hard to do things. This would be everyday stuff that people need. Along with getting a generous grant of $$$ the scientist would also get a small percentage of the profits. This means that research companies for the United States government could exist. They probably already do something like this. Educational Information- A free assortment and library produced by the government to people wanting to learn a trade or industry or get involved in a new industry. Probably on the internet if their was a major enclyopedia on the internet setup by the government that was large or had alot of links... WIthout sifitng through BS. Military-Industry- If the U.S started designing military compatible ships that could be easily refitted and turned into battle cruisers ect... with low cost but passed tax incentives so that people would end up buying them instead of what they usually use then in war time we could assemble huge numbers of military vessels cheaply and quickly. This would reduce the cost of having a high military capacity. Patent extensions- Patents need to be extended, if so then technology would be more heavily emphasized and those uncreative industries that didn't produce could rot and hell and die. This way the United States could produce alot more Tech because it would be more profitable to produce technology. Also instead of companies hoarding technology because of a limited patent they would release them quickly onto the market. We should use the technocratic concept of a specialist in office. Welfare should be limited to 5 years + Job training Things should be deregulated as long as they "get it done" so that states can design laws to their individual liking. Their needs to be a virtual education center thats free. Stocks should be based off of dividends, not quick gains. There should be tax incentives for less toxic dangerous substances. The government should be more privatized, thus increasing efficiency.

Sayonara Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 That was just for the agriculture and information sharing bits really - as you can probably tell it was a quickie as I was short of time.
