Top 10 Best Ways to Improve the United States
The U.S. is definitely a powerful country, but it is crumbling. How can we fix it?
This list will give details, although it is the government's job to take care of America. But I thought this list would help anyway.
-
Stop violence
Increase investigations into hate groups and massive terrorism. Push men to ask for help, reform the criminal justice system, stop private prisons, and improve drug and drinking services.
Create a better way of living so people will be happier with their lives. Fix the school-to-prison pipeline.
What are the causes of violence? Poverty is one of them. Areas in the U.S. with higher poverty rates could mean more violence. Helping the poor could help reduce violence.q
It's well-established that poverty does not cause crime. Rather, crime causes poverty.
-
Donate more money to charities and to the poor
If all of us donated what we possibly could, the world might just get a little better for everyone. But there are pros and cons, like people abusing this, just as some abuse welfare.
However, this issue could also be addressed if we tackled the problems of not enough jobs, not enough unions, and not enough healthcare.
It should be no surprise that Americans give by far the most total money to charity worldwide. What is not widely known is that the U.S. is second only to Myanmar (90 percent Buddhist) for per capita giving and percentage of income given.
Interestingly, Atlanta is the best, at 6-9 percent of discretionary income, and San Francisco is the worst, at 3-4 percent. Canada and New Zealand are close, but European nations are far behind.
-
Find ways to stop global warming
Mandate that couples take showers together. Take fewer and shorter showers. Get America's factories solar, wind, and rain-powered. It starts with the factories. Tax fossil fuels more, and stop them from donating to campaigns. Incentivize people by giving tax cuts to families that adopt renewable energy, buy and consume less, and carpool regularly.
It's another common problem for America and the entire Earth. We should find ways to help reduce global warming. If we don't, Earth could be burned to a crisp in millions of years.
-
Provide more opportunities
Create an Office of Opportunity. There are millions without education, millions without jobs, and millions without healthcare. It's time for a change.
We could give job training to homeless people, provide them with affordable housing, and get them better drinking and drug services, like safe sites.
More amenities, jobs, stores, etc., could help America a lot as well.
We have a lot of opportunities already, but we will still need more as long as one American is in poverty.
-
Ban guns
Just the automatics. People can keep their .22s, pistols, and shotguns as long as they are only pump, pull, or lever action. Put limits on the magazine or bullet capacity for all guns. Increase taxes on the selling, buying, and owning of guns and ammo. Make background checks far more stringent. Lengthen the waiting period for background checks from 3-5 days to 14 days.
Guns nowadays have one primary purpose: to kill. Besides, most guns used in shootings were obtained through legal means.
America is not the only country that has criminals with guns, but you have guns in shops. It is known for shootings.
-
Stop racism
Racism is a common problem in America, especially in the South. If we help reduce that, the South and America itself would be a happier place.
I mean, think about it: If Martin Luther King didn't exist, Black people would be poor and sad. It's unbearable. We should find ways to stop racism.
Everyone should be equal. All Americans.

Help more people attend college
Think about this: My generation wants free college, right? But despite being a liberal humanitarian, even I know, just like some Republicans, that someone or some group is going to have to pay for it. This is why we should make all universities and colleges, including rich ones, public instead of private. Public schools don't need paid tuition. We could at least make it much cheaper if it can't be free. There is no reason why one or two classes for a year should cost a student the same amount as a house.
College is what helps you become a smart citizen. Without college, we wouldn't be that smart, and it could affect jobs and other things.
-
Recycle
Imagine living in a place full of garbage. That's what America and the world could be like if we don't recycle regularly.
-
Give men and women equal rights
Equal pay. Oh, you just want to attack feminists.
Men and women should have equal rights.
-
Decrease deforestation
There are some areas in America where forests are being cut down, and trees help provide oxygen. If every tree in the world were gone, there would be much less oxygen.

Impeach Donald Trump
-
Be more generous
Giving money to the poor, helping people out, and other acts of generosity would help the country a lot, in my opinion.
-
Restrict plastic
Reduction would be better. Some plastics, like biodegradable ones, should replace common single-use plastics.
