AMPU Idealistic Legislation

[vcczar]

I'm curious what kind of idealistic legislation we can come up with as hypothetical legislation. Basically, I want you to think of laws that you wish existed, but has never been proposed.

For instance, if you think "the stock market is evil and creates inequality in wealth, " you might think, "What if the stockmarket were abolished?" Therefore, a bill you might suggest would be "Abolish the Stock Market" or "Make Stock Trading Illegal." 

So think about what laws you wish existed and wish were acceptable or allowable in a "perfect world." 

p.s. the stock market ideas is not really my own opinion, although I sympathize with the idea of it.

I'll have more later, but considering New Zealand just did (a form) of this, this might actually be one of the more plausible ones:  Ban Smoking.

Edit:  Note, not a public smoking ban, a ban on smoking, entirely.

Maybe something a bit wack like being able to see states to sort out fiscal problems?

That really depends on what you mean, that's a really vague statement.

Well I am surprised that in the McCarthy era I am part of playtest, there is not a loyalty oath law which was something that did exist at the time

Say you get maxed out on how much you can spend, in exchange for some more spending as a one off next turn you can sell a state?

A funny one that pops up from time to time in a gov sim: Ban the importation of Anime.

Don't know if this topic is still getting attention, but an idea I had for those of us that are infrastructure nerds:  Audit and Trim Excess Interstate Highway Routes

I say this as someone who absolutely loves the interstate highway system, despite the environment impact meaning other forms of transit are objectively better:  There are a lot of useless vestigial routes and projects that basically linger on forever as the remnant of some grand design that are never going to get trimmed because it'd be 95% political suicide to actually take such funding away even if the project is indefinitely on hold.  But what if someone manged to ram cancelations through in the other 5% of their political career?
