#1. Truly abolish slavery. #2. Change the legal system from punishment to rehabilitation. #3. Congress gets minimum wage. #4. Minimum wage and unemployment must be a livable wage.

My only issue with point 3 is wouldn't that make members of Congress more tempted by bribes and such? Sure, we can out law it and say it's bad, but as my uncle always told me, it's only illegal if you get caught.

Yup. Exactly why you can bribe police in some poorer countries. They don't make enough money to say no.
