If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

Two words: Lottery Economy

That's right bitches.

Re-establish the Constitution of the United States in its current form minus the voting for Senators via popular vote. Rebuild the capital in the middle of the country.

Get rid of the electoral college

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

Invest my self with absolute power and then proceed to dismantle some of the more absurd laws.

This is like, Soooooooooooooooooooo 1776.

*snaps gum and rolls eyes*

provide full health care and other necessitates of life for all basically do 21st century things :)

also as an Englishman I would also be obliged to offer the position of head of state to Her Majesty the Queen, so I guess I will be off to the tower :(

1. Destroy the credit companies
2. Destroy the IRS
3. Destroy the capital (and reestablish in a more central location)
4. Destroy all churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues (you can pray at home, in your head, in your car, whatever, no need to waste public land doing it!!!)

After the war:
Fix up the schools
Abolish college tuition fees
Abolish political lobby parties
Abolish the Income Tax entirely and install the VAT
Remove government from the marriage bed (they don't need to know who I'm screwin'!)
Repeal and/or abolish laws that protect stupid people from themselves. Hail Darwin!
Abolish the Speed Limit signs that make our Highways suck.
Force an end to inflation, putting a permanent cap on the cost of housing and social services. Regulate wages by job title. No raises (none needed if the cost of living isn't going up, right?)

Invest myself with complete power, become very corrupted and accept bribes from major corporations, along with...

1. Promote the credit companies
2. Give the IRS authority to make arrests
3. Force pilgrimages to Washington D.C.
4. Force people to become religious...
5: Make "Natanael" disappear... lol j/k =D

After the war:
Privatize all schools and redirect what used to be their funding towards the military and police
Forcibly raise college tuition fees
Abolish political lobby parties
Increase Income Tax Rate
Strictly enforce marriages and make adultery punishable by death, furthermore install sensors in every mattress tag so they cannot be removed without anyone knowing.
Make teaching of evolution illegal
Abolish the Speed Limit signs that make our Highways suck. Yay for no speed limits
Make everyone's life miserable in a Soviet Union style way.

Do many other things for the point of doing nothing but completely pissing people off. =D

This is a joke post

install sensors in every mattress tag so they cannot be removed without anyone knowing.

:eek: thats worse than Stalin!

I can also imagine what else those sensors would pick up :p

I would pull out of the war, then bomb the shit out of Iran and North Korea. But first, I would assasinate the Kim Jong-Il and the leader of Iran. Then I would occupy Cuba and assasinate Fidel Castro and finnaly turn Cuba into a democratic country.

lol!
funny, very funny

Places of worship are built on private land.

Turn everyone into obese tv-zombies and invade random countries

Why is everyone assuming that they're going to win?

I would employ passive resistance myself, but of course, not being American would make such passive resistance very pointless.

Instate myself as Dictator perpetuas and rule the country with an iron fist. Rename the country to the "Empire of the Americas", invade every country to the south of the mainland and use NATO as a threat to any hostile regime. Focus all funding to the military and security forces and install extremely powerful regents to take control of the individual states.

Then hold a huge military parade in Washington with large banners with my images on them hanging from the Washington monument.

Bynamar, check out this link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=511849), especially the second post -- the bit that says, "Don't repost if your first post doesn't show up."

Neo-Erusea, I think he just ran into that Jolt glitch for new posters. Though why it should still be hitting him with that many posts, I dunno.

ummm,,, lets see, for starters, redo the tax system. what ever % of the GDP you make, you pay that % of the federal budget. aim to raise 1.5trillion a year, so a normal family is taxed around 12.5%. Oh, and tax religion.
Split Iraq into three separate countries, kurdvill, shiteville and sunniville, then kickstart the economy in each area, then pull out.
use the money spent there to improve the schools and provide socialized health care. downsize the military allot, provide more police funding, increase the number of police on street and the size of their CSI labs to help cull crime.
legalize gay marriage and abortion

Well, after my army of one million telekinetic thirteen year olds have pied, wedgied and/or groin kicked the population into subserviency to me, I will probably reduce military size and slash the budget bare. That money(and the majority of tax sepnding at that point) will be used to rebuild the american education system from the ground-up. All teachers will become federal employees. All schools and universities will become open admission. Anyone can attend any school at any time and take any course as long as they meet the necessary pre-requisite courses. Perpetual education will be encouraged, even offering school setting and courses on site at major employers.

I will build a country that values knowledge and critical thinking. I will enforce my rule with the pie and the groin kick. All shall worship me and laugh. That is all. :)

*joins whatever political party you set up*

Um taxing religion would not be a wise idea as that would result in another revolt. WHY? does having massive churches, temples, ect covered in gold foil and platinum, with surround sound plasma T.'V's hanging everywhere make then closer to whatever god they bow to? If the churches give the money they raise back to the community, I'd allow em to write it off.

So the first amendment means nothing to you huh? You also realize that many churches are exempt from taxes because of the work they do for the community and the money they give to those who do not have much or are in need.

I for one would welcome our pie-throwing, wedgying and groin kicking Lunatic Overlords.

freedom to practice relgion=/= freedom from tax. by that logic, all newspaper companies should be exempt from tax, along with all television stations. As I said, a fancy church does should not make one closer to any sort of god.

Um taxing religion would not be a wise idea as that would result in another revolt.

I live in a country which does not have seperation of church and state. I pay "religion tax" (everyone does, it goes to the church), however, since I'm atheist, my money goes to a university instead of a temple devoted to middle-eastern spirits.
I don't think many people want to revolt.

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

Spin around in place rapidly while behind other people spinning around in place.

I for one would welcome our pie-throwing, wedgying and groin kicking Lunatic Overlords.

That would be wise. :cool:

Just to be different, I'd establish true capitalism, privitize everything not directly related to government (postal service, schools, etc.), lower taxes to the bare minimum, withdraw from the UN (while keeping up contributions to thte FUNCTIONING parts of the organization), and stop all foreign aid to countries I dont like and who dont need it. There would also be a significant downsizing of the strategic arsenal. I figure we just need enough nukes to hit every city over 100,000 people in Russia, we've got more than enough as is.
I'd also establish a monarchy. Mostly because I've always wanted to establish the first Riley Imperial dynasty in world history. And the 'American Empire/Empire of America' does have a nice ring to it.
Then I could feel special, as the only capitalist-imperial nation left in the world.
Oh, and I'd invade Canada and Mexico. Always wanted to do that.

Two words: Lottery Economy
Woo! I've finally converted someone to the glory of running everything through state lottery.

Once my revolution has succeeded, I will have myself made a god and sign death warrants for all my enemies. Then I shall proceed to lose my power and rank through a series of wacky hijinx that return power to the original government and restore everything to the way it was before the half-hour began.

Like a brand new Simpsons episode. But funny. *nod*

If I win I would:
1. Abolish all public and private schools and reestablish them as charter schools.
2. Make it mandatory to complete high school.
3. Make it so every one gets basic heath care/insurance.
4. Rework the insurance system so people can choose what kind of health care they receive.
5. Abolish the death penalty, abortion and plastic surgery until quality control standards are established and enforced. Then I'll think about reestablishing them.
6. Abolish frivolous lawsuits.
7. Take some money away from the military. I'd use the money to pay for the health care of the poor, the lawyers needed by the poor, crime laboratories, police, emergency response (like FEMA), detection of inclement weather, foreign aid and education.
8. Make it so that for every x number of acres used to build homes, a couple have to be used to build something for the community (i.e. a park, a school, a church etc.
9. Redraw state boundaries so that they actually make sense.
10. Keep the electoral vote.

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

I'd have my house raided by BATFE and FBI agents along with local law enforcement and then be arrested where they would release biased reports to the local and national news reporters there that I had been planning it for years and this sting w/ arrest was the result of a 25 year sting operation that neted an arsonal of illegal weapons, dispite the fact I only own 4 guns, all of which were legally attained with reciepts and all.

The news would then report on this and cite that I was also a known tax-hold out* and openly boasted to my friends that I was anti-government and thought that it was, "Long past time to hit the reset button on America". Then the news would report that I often frequented the local shooting ranges** as "practice" for my revolution and actively tried to recruit members by partaking in anti-government protest of all sorts.***

I would spend the rest of my life in jail and if I did manage to get out on parole I would most likely die in a car crash santioned by the President and carried out by CIA operatives.

*Dispite the fact that in fiscal year 2004 my job was responsible for the erronous numbers it sent to the IRS and, in the end, all was worked out, including getting a $90 check from the IRS since in the new calculations, they owed me more money than I got in 2004)

**Which is true, I go to the range a lot because it's fun and a hobby.

***Which would be completely false but hell, that's never stopped the news from reporting it and anything that comes from the U.S. Government is the God's honest truth because they don't lie either.

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

What kind of revolution, Communist/Socialist, Authoritarian, Anarchist, Nazism?

I'd reinstate the Constitution and all the current laws, minus the religious ones (Blue laws and such).

So the first amendment means nothing to you huh? You also realize that many churches are exempt from taxes because of the work they do for the community and the money they give to those who do not have much or are in need.

Their land being taxed has little or nothing to do with their religion. Its the property that they own that at least in this area is almost a little silly hell the local church/catholic univ owns enough land that they made their own "town"

Filthy rat, America was born from being anti monarchy, She shall never have one!

Filthy rat, America was born from being anti monarchy, She shall never have one!

Thats why we have had 16 years under the "bush" rule and if Hillary wins a minimum of 12 years under the "clinton" rule

It may not be a monarchy but it seems to like to have a "court" of powerful families elected and that seems awful close for being born of an "anti monarchy"

I would start by getting power and then pay assasins to try to kill me. Then pay body guards to stop the assasins. Then pay the Mafia to bribe my body guards. Then pay investigators to end organized crime. Then I would kill the investigators because I feel left out.

Or turn the entire country into terrorists vs. counter-terrorists who have to diffuse a bomb on dust 2.

1. Shrink the size of govt. back to the way it was.
2. Pull the military out of every other country and down size redirecting a good portion of that money towards scientific research and education.
3. Revamp the education system.
4. Light a fire under the insurance companies a$$es and get insurance rates back to reasonable levels.
5. Direct attention towards getting the housing market back on its feet.
6. Surround myself by competent people so that every govt. move is not a complete screw up.

Anybody who thought that natural habitat loss or endagerment or extinction was no big deal would be placed in re-education camps.

Rape, cruelty to animals, cruelty to people, illegal gang membership, and purgery would become capital offenses in addition to the present ones.

There would be no more welfare except for the disabled. Anybody who could not find a job would be guaranteed a low paying job but with guaranteed room and board in something like the old CCC during the 30s.

The Constitution would be amended guarantee people to make their own medical choices including, but not limited to, the right to use any drug.

The home economy would be the number one priority in terms of the economy. If this requires protective tariffs, then so be it.

The Federal government would have four income sources, 1) a flat income tax levied as a fixed percentage of everyone's income, 2) In exchange for great terms on start up capital, a percentage of profits of those companies electing to use the the public capital would go to the government, 3)tariffs, and 4) the government would invest some of its wealth in publically traded securities.

Nobody would be allowed to import to or export from any country that did not have roughly equivalent or greater protections for the environment, human rights, and worker's safety laws.

States would be given the right to not have to follow a Federal law if both its state legislature agrees by super majority and the matter is put to the voters who also agree bu supermajority.

Every state that expands its natural habitat by 1% or more in a given year would receive a cash prize.

Poor people that could not afford medical treatment could receive free treatment at clinics run by medical students and by military medical staff without the right to sue for malpractice. This will help in the training of those who will take care of the soldiers and the rich.

For every power of 10 employees that a business employs, that entity will receive a .01% tax break.

Veterans will receive a 0.1% tax break at minimum, heroes will receive more based on their decorations.

1. Destroy the credit companies
2. Destroy the IRS
3. Destroy the capital (and reestablish in a more central location)
4. Destroy all churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues (you can pray at home, in your head, in your car, whatever, no need to waste public land doing it!!!)

After the war:
Fix up the schools
Abolish college tuition fees
Abolish political lobby parties
Abolish the Income Tax entirely and install the VAT
Remove government from the marriage bed (they don't need to know who I'm screwin'!)
Repeal and/or abolish laws that protect stupid people from themselves. Hail Darwin!
Abolish the Speed Limit signs that make our Highways suck.
Force an end to inflation, putting a permanent cap on the cost of housing and social services. Regulate wages by job title. No raises (none needed if the cost of living isn't going up, right?)
What makes you think churches are on public land? Who told you that?

Its really just a coincidence in history.

Its like when that guy won two terms non consecutively.

No, Grover Cleveland wasn't a coincidence. His nonconsecutive victories (22nd and 24th!) were part of a huge Illuminati conspiracy to fill my head with even more useless information related to stuff nobody cares about.

Um 12 years under a Bush.

That I can agree with.

Ahhh yeah lol was doing my counting wrong (drunk) lol but either way lol

Filthy rat, America was born from being anti monarchy, She shall never have one!

Bow down before Emperor Robert! Dont make me have you boiled in McDonalds oil! I'll do it!

anyone think a revolution is inevitable or possible

I would begin from the top. I'd remove the Supreme Court and replace it with truly impartial super-computers, and nullify all previous SC rulings to let the computers start off new. I would re-write that Second Amendment to support 1) the right of states to form militias, and 2) the rights of U.S. citizens to own guns, given they are eighteen, obtain a federal gun license, and have not committed a felony or heinous crime. I'd abolish income tax, welfare, SS, unions, the death penalty (because it's expensive), institute labour camps for violent criminals and simply charge outrageous fines for non-violent crimes. I'd give the government and business the legal right to seize property, possessions and assets from those who file bankruptcy in order to avoid paying fines and debts. The military would be pulled out from countries which we have confirmed to be peaceful (Japan, Germany, etc.). I'd legalize gay marriage, force the military to accept openly gay soldiers (for its own good, really) and repeal certain aspects of their dress code (concerning tattoos and such). Then I'd privatize everything. EVERYTHING.

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?I love these kinds of questions!

Here's just a few(!) of the things I'd do:

WIN! Then:

The former democratic republic would become Fergi America, a dictatorship ruled by me! "Freedom of" would be history--at least, those that could be used against me, like freedom of speech and assembly.

A mixed economy with emphasis on Capitalism would remain as the economic system. NHS-proponents are outta luck. But, so are welfare abolitionists.

All of the media will be regulated by me. All programs/newspaper articles/etc., whether news or not, have to be approved by the Bureau for the Prevention of the Perpetuation of Stupidity! This will automatically mean the end of things like soap operas, dumb sitcoms and reality shows, coverage of the lives of "stars," and other such mind-mushing nonsense. All media will have to come up with shows/features/whatever which engage the consumer's neurons, or perish!

The news, specifically, will be censored so My Position looks great (along with the above regulation). Duh. It's a dictatorship! If I don't have a position, the news can report however they want, so long as they have the okay of the Anti-Stupidity Bureau.

The Constitution will be rewritten.
Obviously, any clauses against dictatorship are gone! Same with "checks and balances" segments. And no point in keeping the clauses about eligibility to vote. There won't be any of that "voting" stuff going on, after all.

I'D KEEP: The procedures for arrests/convictions, jury trials, abolition of slavery...basically anything that won't threaten the Dictatorship. Although I'd change the punishments clause--"unusual" punishments would be fine. And I'd specifically define what counts as "cruel." No leaving it open to some bleeding-heart judge in CA.

I'd ADD: The fact that I'm Dictator for Life, and that all powers of the State are vested in me. I would also make myself immune to prosecution. Yep, above the law. Those who don't like it: Report to the gulag! :p

I'd DILUTE: I'd dilute, but not delete entirely, the separation of church/state. Overall it's a fine idea, but the Government would not be arsed over something like whether some podunk town in Georgia with a population of 500 has the 10 Commandments up in its city hall!!

Entrepreneurialism would be highly favored over "getting a job." In fact, "get a job" would be turned, via skillful propaganda, into a high insult. It would mean that the target wasn't fit for better...and it would be known that practically *anything* is better than being a drone!

Government programs to help people make money without resorting to traditional jobs would abound.

On the other hand, if someone manages to get a monopoly under the above conditions, good on that person--it'd usually be legal. Only if significant damage to consumers could be tangibly demonstrated, would a breakup be considered. It would, however, be a lot harder to get a monopoly when most of the populace thinks working for someone else sucks!

Most/all "nanny state" type laws (anti-smoking, helmet laws, etc.) would be abolished. If you win a Darwin award because of that, fine.

No speed limits in nonresidential areas.

It would be illegal for an employer to fire or otherwise punish someone for what they do on their off-time, so long as such off-time activity is a legal one.

It would be illegal for employers to discriminate against smokers, overweight people, those who dye their hair purple, etc... and of course the more traditional kinds of discrimination stay banned, too. Except, if someone wants to fire a person for not liking the Dictator, [I]that's fine! :p

The Capitol would be moved to Florida or some similarly frost-free, snow-free state. Washington DC would be partitioned into segments and joined with its neighboring states. And the New White House wouldn't be white--that's an extremely boring color. It'd be a typical FL-style stuccoed-block house (only much bigger) with pastel paint. Oh, and hurricane-proofed, as much as possible.

I'd come up with something better than the atrocity currently known as "the school system" and implement it ASAP.

I'd INcrease the amount of troops in the standing army. Fergi America must be able to invade anything, at any time, AND WIN! Pacifists don't like that? They can rethink their stance...in my gulags!

Enemy casualties in wars don't get reported, no gruesome pix shown, etc. It will be a Federal Crime to "promote sympathy towards the enemy," enforced with very stiff penalties (all the way up to execution).

Speaking of the death penalty, I'd make sure it was more evenly implemented. None of this baloney where some mass-murdering pervert gets life, but a guy who killed 1 person while in a mindless rage is executed.

On the other hand, it'd become much easier to get off on a plea of "justifiable homicide." Some people do deserve killin', and IMO there are a whole lot more who deserve it than is currently recognized. If the court decides that the deceased did NOT deserve killin', though, then the killer will very likely be executed.

I figure that if I caused a revolution in the USA, all the US troops would have already been recalled back here from Iraq, and everywhere else they currently are--to fight the civil war against my forces! So, the Iraq war would be over (by default) when I take power. Whether I re-invaded it would be determined later, although I would probably go for an annexation of Mexico if I wanted to take more land over. It's closer and lots of them want to be Americans anyway. Although I don't know if they'd still want to be Americans after the US became a dictatorship!!

Speaking of immigrants. English will be the Official Language. Also, if you want any government help (welfare, schooling, etc.), first you have to help the government: 4 years of military service!

A bit of social engineering:
Imperialism would be considered to be a Good Thing again. Those who don't like that idea can rot in the gulags along with the pacifists.

The New Schools would teach citizenship and morality. The young need to know what their Leader demands of them, why their Leader's thinking is The Correct Thinking, and otherwise understand what it is to be a Good Citizen of Fergi America.

The New Schools wouldn't just give lip service to anti-bullying ideals. Children who are bully-magnets would be protected by the System (actually protected!) as well as being allowed to defend themselves...by whatever means necessary.

I would repeal hardline "3-strikes" laws. The thought of some guy spending life in prison when his 3rd strike was something like stealing a Snicker's Bar makes me cringe. Same with those drug laws where if you have like .99 gram of [banned stuff] it's a 1-year term, but if you have 1.00 grams you spend decades behind bars.

I'd get rid of any bans on stem-cell research. Gov funding would be provided.

The Second Amendment stays. My military can beat all that civilian stuff.

Abortion rights stay, too.

so many people are hypocritical about this, because several people complain about George W.Bush and how he's eliminating our freedom and rights. Then you go on roleplaying and imagining yourself as a dictator.

Jesus Christ buddy no need to post 6 times in a row... O_O

He's an over achiever

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

I see myself fighting for independence but losing to an overwhelming Union force and purchasing a midbulk interplanetary transport. I know I won't die because I'm so very pretty. I'm just too pretty for God to let me die.

regeonalize, re-institute indiginous authority, and retire. maybe get a job as a regeonal environmentally harmonious alternative transportation consultant if anyone would have me.

uneasy lies the head, and what the hell are crowns good for anyway?

If there was a revolution in America, and you were behind it what would you do?

Turn the entire North American continent into an environmental haven, then outsource all of our manufacturing to China while simultaneously building a giant smog-proof dome around it.

It's fool-proof.

so many people are hypocritical about this, because several people complain about George W.Bush and how he's eliminating our freedom and rights. Then you go on roleplaying and imagining yourself as a dictator.
1) It's a matter of perspective. Being dictated to is generally bad. Doing the dictating is generally good. It's no more hypocritical than if a dog complains about being chased by a lion, and then goes and chases some squirrels.

2) America is already a democratic republic. So, a revolution pretty much implies a change to some sort of dictatorial condition.

3) There's no point in RPing real life scenarios. For that, there's actual RL!

Force people to recognise Emperor Norton as the true head of state. Then set about locating his corpse and/or closest living relative.

Establish ginormous tariffs to ensure that my country stays economically awesome, stop invading random foreign countries, establish a highly advanced strategic defense system, and spend the vast majority of my budget funding scientific research so I can make an army of robotic laser-wielding clones to take over Pluto, where I would establish my new regime.
