Since the country has grown in terms of population, technology, economy, military, etc. over the years, the bureaucracy has had to expand proportionally. However, it definitely could be tightened up among certain agencies which would most likely benefit the overally running of the nation.

I would change the federal income tax system to a federal sales tax. This would eliminate the huge tax burden from the upper and middle classes and make honest tax payers out of every consumer in the country.

Definitely raise in minimum wage.\nDon't ask for an explanation because that is self-evident .

Its a good start, Number one would solve most problems on its own. The rules I would like to add would be;\n5. Politics will become open and free for all people to have their say, a true democracy based on the right to attend law making debates to raise and vote on the issues  that concern you.\n6. Politicians will not be paid, but will only get expenses based on the average wage of a person from the area they represent

The present Government!!!

well, maybe a change in who deserves full citizenship rights and who doesn't.  Like all us veterans and those that pledge 2 or more yrs of federal service have full rights and those that don't volunteer for fed service lose the right to vote or run for office.  Things would be better for everyone, even those with minimal rights.

I would go for a change: a mixture of the current system and a component of proportional representation. This would mean an overall majority would be unlikely. That is a good thing in itself, so rotten laws are not forced through Parliament.

Some changes that the new Congress will attempt, per Pelosi and Reid:\n\nAttempting to get the US out of red. The national debt has doubled to nearly 9 trillion during the Bush administration, and there has been a huge deficit each year.\n\nMaking the Alternative Minimum Tax more fair to the middle class, preventing the repeal of the Estate Tax (over 21 billion per year would be lost from the US treasury), requiring that new tax cuts be matched with new revenue and new tax cuts be matched with new spending cuts. \n\nSome type of lobby and/or campaign finance reform bill. \n\nA plan for peace in the middle east. A list of objectives for the Iraq war including a schedule for the draw down of troops.\n\nReducing illegal immigration - probably some plan very much LIKE Bush's which includes border patrol and fencing, agricultural worker permits, and path to citizenship for many who are already here.\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/09/AR2006110900953.html

I am wicked pumped about the change. I think they will do a few things...First, work on getting our troops home. Second, raise the minimum wage. And third, work on better health care plan. But the number one goal has to be resolving this mess in the Middle East.

10 things I would change if i was prime minister:\n\n1) Pensions - You get out what you pay in.  Basically if you have been working and paying taxes all your life you would be entitled to a much higher state pension that those who have been claiming benefits all their life.\n\n2) Immigration - If immigrants want to work they are welcome.  If they just want to sit on their fat arses and sponge then they can go back to where they came from and them claiming that they are in danger of being killed will not be accepted as an excuse to stay in the country.  It is totally their choice which one they want.\n\n3) Benefits - All benefit rates are to be lowered with the exception of jobseekers allowance which will encourage more people to work.\n\n4) Benefit Cheats - All people found to be commiting benefit fraud of any kind will have to pay all the money back plus interest from when they started getting them.  Anybody providing information leading to someone being caught will be awarded a cash reward equivilent to what the person would have got in a year.\n\n5) Council Tax - Council tax will be replaced by income tax to make the system much fairer.\n\n6) Students - Families on a lower income should not have to pay tution fees.  Only students with a net family income of over £50,000 a year have to pay tution fees.  Also write off all current student debts. \n\n7) Smoking Ban - Bring forward the smoking ban as it will save the most lives since the introduction of seat belts in cars.\n\n8)  Burgalars - Burgalars lose all their human rights protection the second they break into someones home and residents may use any means necessary to protect their homes.\n\n9) Criminals - A lot more jails to be built and all convicted criminals must serve their full sentance in jail with no exceptions basically life means life.\n\n10) NHS - More hospitals built and a large increase in taxpayers money going to the NHS to shorten waiting lists.

How about:\n\nI believe the changes could happen if the Secretariat improves team-work through the departments' relationships so that all of the issues can be handled more objectively using the special skill sets of each department.

My vision is to return the government to a government of the people, by the people and for the people. We live in a great country with so much potential but greed is taking it in its grip, people are so worried about what their neighbor is doing or getting that they forget to watch their own yard. There is very little compassion for others and I would like to see that changed,
