On the same website that the quiz was on I found this! I added my two cents

Last 10 laws suggested by Takers:

"I would dictate that when there is such a close election (like the last presidential election, and the one before) there has to be a mandatory re-election."
-DMW from sioux city, iowa

Does this person believe that simply having another election would change the result? If you have a poll, then take the exact same poll with the exact same people, do you expect a deferent result? That is not called a “re-election”.

"I would dictate that... until US unemployment rates dip below 1%, no american jobs would be moved overseas."
-DPH from Tuscaloosa, AL

Do you think they are talking about cyclical, frictional or structural? Do you think this person knows the difference? The below website should be required reading before you start ranting about unemployemt.

"I would dictate that...everyone be required to volunteer at least 40 hours a year."
-wjs from Washington, DC

if you are made to do something then it is not volunteering

"I would dictate that...you should be nice to everyone"
-ACB from Toronto

aahh, now that’s just too cute. Here is a mental challenge, how do you enforce that law?

"I would dictate that...there will be a maximum wage of 10 million dollars per year for an individual and 50 million dollars profit limit for companies. Any additional funds would be given to the government for redistribution. It will be a called a GREED TAX. "
-SM from Bristol, CT

Good idea comrade!! If you want to destroy the luxury boat industry go right ahead. All kidding aside, do believe that people who are smart enough to make ten million dollars a year would be dumb enough to hand it over to the government? They would find a way around that “tax”. But of course its not the result that matters, its that you mean well. Not to mention that if a company can not declare large profits then they cant pay dividends to their stock holders. And before you start calling stockholders fat, white businessmen keep this in mind. If you have a 401k plan you are a stockholder

"I would dictate that any public official in the jucicial system caught accepting bribes would be stripped of all monetary wealth and imprisoned for the remainder of their lives."
-jrm from detroit

You know, I kinda like this one. I would have to have a very clear definition of bribe. And given the current state of legal matters I don’t think that anything is “clear”. Ex. What is the definition of is?

"I would dictate that women's reproductive health is their own business, no government can usurp that."
-LCG from Las Vegas, NV

Oh wow, here’s a deep thought. Gawd knows there are no social ramifications to bring children into the world. Can you do me a favor? Next time you see someone holding a sign that says, “keep your laws off my body” ask them “did you know that suicide is illegal”. No matter what their answer is tell them that they should go kill themselves in protest!

"abjabubu"
-MJH from cincinnati, OH

This makes more sense them most of these

"I would dictate that...people who smoke would not get any government help, ie medicare, medicade, social security."
-PSS from Portsmouth, NH

Cigarettes are one of the most taxed items in history. They pay for all the above programs! If you care for those programs so much you should START smoking.
Side note: Smokers make the best Social Security recipients, they don’t live as long

"I would dictate that politicians not be allowed to keep spreading blame around when anything happens. They would have to just fix the problem. "
-ljg from senath, mo

Cute. One question, how do you fix what is wrong before you find out want is wrong?

You maybe asking what my dictate was:

I would dictate that…. You have to own land to vote.

Now feel free to ripe that apart.
