Make the Separation of Church and State legally official.

I am in full support in having freedom to choose your religion (or irreligion), but other than that, I wish it didn't play any role in politics. The government shouldn't reward or punish anyone based on their beliefs, and politicians shouldn't let their religious beliefs influence policymaking (especially if those beliefs are discriminatory).

Outside of politics, be religious if you want, or be irreligious if you want. It should be your choice, and your business.

Penalties based on wealth. I read a quote once which basically said "A penalty is just the price to do illegal work for the rich."

No parking area and the fine is 10$? No problem, we'll just pay 10$ later.

Instead penalties based on wealth should be introduced.

For example, if a person earns only 100$ then their fine should be 0.1$. And if someone earned 10,000$ then the fine should be 10$. If someone is a millionaire, fine is 1000$. Billionaire? 1,000,000$.

I think this already exists in some country (Finland?) But it should be applied everywhere.

Example: Want to lead the Ministry for Agriculture? Better been either 10 years in charge of a farm prior to the election or own a degree in biology, ecological engineering, etc. that gives a deeper understanding of agriculture.

I know it could lead to abuse through personal bias and/or catering to lobbies and that would require more indepth follow up laws - but still better than having people in charge that have no clue what they are suppossed to do because they don't know jack about the resort they are in charge of.

Compulsory voting. Some places have it, the USA needs it. Make it easier to vote, some states (Washington) are 100% mail in ballots, so the ballot comes in the mail with a booklet that gives an overview of each candidate and each side of each issue on the ballot. then you fill it out and you can either mail it back or drop it in a secure drive up voting box. I'd do that everywhere, then make voting mandatory. Vote, or pay a significant voting tax come tax time. I'm talking like, at least 1000 dollars. Make it so not voting isn't financially feasible. You can abstain from votes on the ballot, but you have to submit a ballot, even if you abstain on every point.
Most people who don't vote do want to, but in many states it's very inconvenient. You might have to take time off work, find transportation or child care, stand in long lines for hours or even all day, deal with voter intimidation, jump through hoops in very specific time windows to get absentee ballots, I'd cut all of that out.

I know much of this debate focuses on who gets to decide which books are age appropriate (hint: it's professional librarians!) but it seems to me that limiting access is a better solution than outright banning them.

That congress cannot pass any law without first living under the effects of that law for at least six months before enforcing it on the general public. (Referring specifically to the US here, so this would require a constitutional amendment rather than just simple legislation.) But for example, if Congress wants to force everyone onto Medicare or some other form of universal health care, they must first give up their Cadillac heath care plans and use only Medicare. If they want to ban SUV's, or gas stoves, or whatever, they must first live under those same conditions. A lot less broadly restrictive legislation would be passed if lawmakers knew they could not create special carve-outs exempting themselves from their own stupidity.

Every stock exchange purchase and sale must be taxed. It can be as low as like 0.5%. It would have very little impact on someone's wealth gains. But they're just so greedy that they refuse on principle. And the digital systems where they make thousands of trades a day should be taxed higher because they destabilise the system and lead to market crashes. All the money made goes to poverty relief and a fund for the inevitable government bailouts.

Also, a CEO cannot make more than 20 times what the lowest-paid employee makes. And if a business needs a government bailout, the lowest-paid employees get paid first, and if there's anything left, management gets some.

Raise the minimum wage to $20/hr and index it so that increases are automatic.

Complete government takeover of the medical insurance and payment process. Using tri-care for life as the example.

Eliminate tipping and pay servers and others appropriately.

Taxes are calculated from 1099s and W2s submitted to the IRS already. The IRS sends you a reconciliation of any difference from taxes collected to taxes owed without additional filings.

Government takeover of private prisons to eliminate for-profit companies requiring high rates of incarceration.

By decoupling insurance from employment you allow people to freelance and choose the work that is right from there. People can also take the time for caretaking without sacrificing their healthcare. With UBI you remove a lot of the desperation to make enough to survive and with a true minimum wage you require that employers actually pay for work accomplished.

UBI will also cushion the changes of businesses that are no longer necessary. Tax rates for high earners should be raised significantly to pay for all of the above. The incentive to earn over $1 million/year should be minimized with the kind of extreme tax rates normal pre-Reagan (75%++). With UBI many entitlement programs like food stamps, welfare, housing assistance, Medicaid can be eliminated and social workers can actually help people get the resources they need rather than gatekeep monetary payouts.

People can own a maximum of two houses/residences. Two is a reasonable number, such as one house, one cabin, or a home owner who inherits a house when someone dies, if you own more than two, you have one year to decide what to do, or one of your properties is taken.

Ban Abortion in all 50 states, you do not deserve the right to kill an innocent baby just because you feel like it. A human life matters more than your idiotic self trying to get out of your responsibility. If you do not want to care for the baby, put it up for adoption, there are a million loving families who would gladly take care of your baby.

What about people who are victims of SA? Or people under the age of 18? Or people who aren't physically capable of having children? And children don't even get adopted all that often, so many have to grow up miserable in shítty foster homes. Abortion should be *available* everywhere, not *banned* everywhere. Saying abortion is murder is like saying harming sperm cells is murder.

An 8 week fetus is far from a baby. You cannot impose your beliefs on everyone in the nation. I'll do me and let you do you, seems more fair. Spend your passion on the homeless or foster children.

But this is someone's opinion, isn't that the point of BP, to exchange views?

If you’re a woman and you get raped/you’re in a crisis (financial, mental etc)/ your partner is abusive/you’re underage/ it was incest/ if the fetus will have a condition that would make life so hard that not being born was the best option, would you keep the fetus?

Nobody is killing babies, because a fetus is not a baby.

Yes, yes it is, a fetus is to a baby, as a baby is to an adult, it is a human being in a different stage of devolopement.

There are more children who need to be adopted than there are loving families who will adopt a baby.

What about women whose fetuses won't survive past birth? Should they have to carry to term?
