    I would add patent law reform, and remove the ability to hold private and public office (ie you can’t be a board member of Monsanto and be on the EPA), oh and no campaign donations allowed; everybody gets an equal stipend to campaign, we have the internet you don’t need to go shaking babies and kissing hands.

      I love dreaming up patent law reforms. I think my favorite so far is related to the purchase of patents.

      When a corporation purchases a patent, they are put on a 5 year clock to bring a product to market which materially includes the content of the purchased patent. After 4 years they are able to appeal for an extension by showing demonstrable towards market, but only twice (so they have 15 years total). If they do not bring a product to market, or are not able to satisfy the extension criteria, the patent reverts to the original creator without refund.

      No… More… Burying… Innovation… That… Threatens… Your… Profits.
