Americans have the right to pursue their own Dreams, Happiest, Religion, Life goals and prosperity. Americans have a choice of two ways to make money, they can own a Business that make their own money or you can work for the other guy and he pays you a wage to work. A company has to make a profit, to be able to give you a pay increase and keep your benefits, anytime a company is not making a profit, the company has to take away some of your money to make ends meet. It is in Your best interest to always make as much profit (money) for the company as possibly. This is the Way America Works. It's just like when you own a Business, when you are making profit you have money to spend on yourself, when your business is losing money, you have No Money to Spend. There is no different.
Welfare: People on Welfare you cannot become Wealthy, you will Always be poor. There is only One Way you can get off welfare and that's a JOB. Welfare is only meant to get you BY, Until you Find a JOB. Welfare is not intend to support you for the rest of your life and keep having kids. Also, America, has to change the way Welfare works. First off, we have to let the Males back into the household to help raise their family, that will take some time but, it should build family unity. With two people working in the house hold, they have a better chance to be on their own. People on Welfare have to take personal responsibly for themselves, it's Not America's responsibility to keep you feed or a roof over your head, it's Yours. Welfare will be reform and the welfare people will have to work while they are receiving their benefits, 20 hour a week working with Federal, State, Counties, Cities governments and Schools. They can clean buildings, pick up litter, wash government vehicles, cut grass and so forth and so on, they can only draw the benefits for three years max, also, if you have any more kids while you are on Welfare, you will not receive any more extra money, you may lose your welfare. The reason, I only want to work them 20 hours is, so their friends can help friends watch the kids while the other is working. We will always be there for our Seniors Citizens and they would not have to work. The Seniors have already done their work.
I would enforce all America's Laws and defend our Borders, I would close the U.S., border with Mexico. I would order that all Illegal's be pick up and return to their Home Country plus, I would then stop giving any new or renewals of visas, Any Muslim on a visa would be revolted and sent to their Home Country. Then with the airlines I would reduce the security and wait time to get to your plane, with doing this, I would not let Muslim fly on any U.S. aircraft or ship. That would make you safer.
America is a Christian Nation and a proud Nation, we would put Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance back into all schools and all public events including all Federal, States , Counties, Cities and Schools.
Education has to be improve. America ranks at the Very Bottom of all industry Nations. Our Public Schools do not Work and have to be Revamp. Everybody's been putting their fix to Education and it has only gotten worse. Americans, we have to go back to the Basics, we need a 9 hour School day and go back to the way we taught in the 1940 and 1950. We have to teach reading, writing, spelling, math, American history, Science, Health. Along with a one hour lunch and P.E. We have to install the Voucher System so All Americans can chose what is best for their family, not the government. When kids enter College most cannot do the Basics. The other problem we have in our Education System is. We have to solve the Black Student and the Dropout rate. Our dropout rate among Students is 50%, Americans have to work very hard to FIX IT, most of the dropout rate is B****s, I would like no more than 5% Dropout and would prefer 0%. This is the Goal for Americans to work towards. The other T***h is, our Educators Cannot C***t on Test scores or Cover Up when a Student is not performing, these numbers are too help Schools and Teachers to identify problems, we have to give these Students extra help to catch them up so they can stay on track and keep interested in School. That a Goal. This will not be Easy and will take years to see results. Americans, have to bring Order back into the Classrooms and Schools. Parents have to Teach the Children Right from Wrong plus, Proper Behavior in School and out. This is all the Parents Responsibility. All Americans have to be involved. None of this will take anymore Tax Money to Install.

Good ideas in your post. However, the liberals would never agree to anyone becoming self sufficient. Dependency is their life blood and government programs (giving away other people's money) is what they thrive on. If people were able to fend for themselves the democrats would be out of business. Think they will go for it ??? Good Luck America !!!

Because Americans are Free, this is why we have such Geniuses. Even when America was still very young, Electrical light, telephones, automobiles, telegraphs, etc., the Americans invented it. The Middle East, and other countries would not have these luxuries if it were not for the U.S. of A.
We may be placed low in Educational polls, but we have the smartest and most intelligent People in the world, Because We Are Free to dream, and then act on those dreams.
