Remove profit from Arms sales = World Peace
Glenn,
You cannot remove profit from arms sales. That is impossible. However, even if you could, it would lead to peace.
The only way that warfare will stop is by changing human nature. The only thing we control is ourselves.
peace to you.
Dylan, I was watching your show about the idea of a constitutional amendment to take money out of our political process. It is a great idea that is simple and easy for most people to understand. Let's do it !!

I agree with your effort 100% and Jimmy Williams' amendment. I wanted to complete the form you showed on the air but it doesn't come up on your web page when I look for it. But then, I live in Minnesota.
AGREE TAKE MONEY OUT OF POLITIC
Have you ever noticed that most (if not all) of our representatives in Congress are in the top 1% in terms of wealth? Now, what does that tell you about who they represent . It is my opinion that (1) no one should be voted into public office who has a net worth greater than $500,000 (ok, you pick a number), (2) they should be paid well (again, you pick a number – how much does the president get?) and (3)anything they earn over and above the pay they receive should be taxed at a rate of 90%. Can you believe how much these people make for speaking. Talk about buying elected officials.
