Eliminate class action suits. We’re a nation of individuals, not a Marxist country full of “classes” at war with each other. Limit damages to what can be materially proven. The “brain freeze” was so bad that you dropped your ice cream. For your damages, you receive a melted sundae. (If the jury insists on punitive damages because the defendant is a very terrible person, corporation, or institution, the money should go into the taxpayer kitty.) Limit lawyer fees to 5% of materially proven (not punitive) damages awarded. Being a lawyer is horrible, but it’s only 5% as horrible as being badly injured enough to bring a tort suit under conditions 1-3. Real Reform No. 3: KILL THE GERRYMANDER Too many seats in Congress and state legislatures are “safe seats.” They’re always held by either a conservative Republican or a liberal Democrat, because the voting districts are shaped like something that lives under a rock.

Real Reform No. 4: REGULATORY TWO-FOR-ONE On January 30, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order requiring that for every new federal regulation instituted, two 8,848 meters or 29,029 feet.” Then we’ve got the right folks.
Don't get your
hopes up. Sweeping tax reform will probably get swept away by continued partisan brawling.

Real Reform No. 5: OURSELVES
Then there is what’s ultimately at the root of every bad thing about government. Those who are in charge of the political system will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve and expand their power.
