Radical Political Ideas

[unclepercy]

I ran across an old article in which three different people jotted down their radical political ideas. It's not that long. Which one of these ideas do you feel is worth pursuing?

My special favorite is: Force criminals and their families to compensate the government for costs associated with jail time.

Yet I totally disagree with this one: Level the playing field for children by providing all kids under the age of 18 with free meals, free health care, free clothing, and free day care.

My argument is that all but education is the responsibility of the parents. Don't have children you can't afford.

All Provincial parks and others, Stanley in particular, should be converted to golf courses. 5 cents a liter tax gas tax should be implemented to subsidize green fees.

Hmmm. Didn't this one on the list. Well it should have been.

Great link! My favourite:

Abolish all income taxes, employment taxes, and transaction taxes and replace them with consumption taxes (e.g. bauxite extraction tax) and pollution taxes (e.g. carbon tax).

Do this in a way that is revenue neutral, and has a backstop (like a guaranteed minimum income) for the poor.

Sorry Uncle, nothing radical enough for my tastes. 8O

All golf courses should immediately be declared rifle ranges.

No need to notify the golfers. :lol:

Hear hear!!! I'd support that one wholeheartedly.
