Revising Our Concept of Government

This is a page for ideas on how to restructure government to serve the people.

This page is intended to be "beyond that which is on the table currently". The page is broken up into two sections. Long term, for extremely radical ideas...such as removing all currency. The top half is for radical reformation ideas.

RADICAL REFORMATION

Change NSA's Mission: Have NSA go after the real criminals. Wall Street. Polluters. Worker-abuse. The NSA has NO INCENTIVE to look at Wall Street, or banks. And the agencies that DO have the mission to prevent financial misdeeds to our currency and other crimes against nature are NOT COVERED in NSA's mission. NSA's mission is to look for physical/virtual threats according to an archaic definition of threats. We would (could?) redefine what a threat to the public is, including ripping us off, pollution, lying, etc. THAT would be the most useful thing I could think of for NSA. And the NSA employees might actually like that shift in mission. It might actually help the commerc and SEC to "do their job" if that mission was shifted. That being said, we need to revise our whole concept of public responsibility. Currently, too much of "our government" is focused on protection of profit. This evolved from the early days of the constitution which protected the right to private property...as opposed to the King owning all of it. The intention, as I read the records, was to protect the right for a farmer to own enough to feed his family, NOT for the right to rip off the entire nation. BUT a lot of case law has evolved to set the stage for the gov't effectly being used as the "piracy guarantee corporation", to keep the public out of the get away route.
