Writing is not one of my core competencies, so I ask for your indulgence in advance.
I would like to see a better future:
In Europe, each member state would be responsible for its own actions. There would be a liberal basic order that prohibits any form of surveillance and restriction of opinion. Manipulative press and false reports would be banned and journalism would be checked for truthfulness and regulated accordingly in the event of violations. Ideological behavior no longer exists, as it is punished as fraud. A free market economy should be possible without restrictive regulations. By this I mean that only regulations that have been checked for their usefulness and economic efficiency are possible and that the kind of excesses we have seen in the last 40 years are no longer possible. Taxes may only be levied and used for national tasks. Further funds must be raised either through donations or by referendum. Wasting taxpayers' money should be punishable and politicians should be held accountable for their violations. The EU will only be allowed to monitor Community guidelines, but will not be allowed to develop its own regulations. The surveillance mania of the authorities has been reduced to a normal level and fundamental rights, similar to our Basic Law of 1970, are once again protected. Crime is combated and enforced jointly across the EU. There may be a uniform tax law and the influence of industry, NGOs, the super-rich and other interest groups on politicians is strictly prohibited. Politicians only make policy in the interests of their citizens and are liable for any misconduct. Taxes and levies collected may only be used for specific purposes and all decisions are reviewed by independent people. The self-interest of office holders has come to an end and the citizen is once again at the forefront of all political decisions. Education will then start in kindergarten and children will no longer have to learn outdated garbage, but will be trained to learn. With the aim of creating a better world without ideology, they have also learned to question everything and are able to come to the right conclusions on their own. Manipulation is a criminal offense that is taken very seriously. In a crisis, people can be taken in and cared for in our country. In the event of violations of hospitality law, these people must leave our economic area immediately. All radical religious beliefs will be banned and all assets confiscated. Subcultures are no longer possible in the EU, as these are also anti-democratic. In 2040, the highest goods in our EU will be: freedom of opinion, freedom to travel, no poverty, inviolability of personal rights, chemical-free food, education at the highest level for everyone, free choice of profession, genuine democracy. Unfortunately, there will still be crimes and for known criminals there will be perfect surveillance that will immediately prove another crime. We have more and more computers and machines replacing human workers. For these devices, an assessment must then be made of how many workers are replaced by this device and, minus the cost of the device, the salary for the workers is then transferred to the tax office as tax. This can then be used to pay the unemployed and those unable to work, families and pensioners. Smoking products, drugs and other toxic substances have not been used or sold for years. This could all be achieved through education and without bans. I could think of a thousand more points, but this is so unsorted and completely confusing, so I'll stop now.
