I was trying to think of simple legal changes that would make America better for everyone.

The first one that comes to mind is: "Set corporate fines for ANYTHING to be minimum 150% of the money they profited from their lawbreaking, as assessed independently by the government".

Get rid of the concept as "fines as a cost of doing business" and turn them into actual deterrents.

This comes from Yet Another "Oopsie' from local chemical plants.

@EmilyGB2023 It's funny, right? In my utopia, a lot of things would be fluid because circumstances change. They only would have to adhere to the principle of 'solidarity first'.

One of the few hard coded rules, however, would be 'no inherited wealth'. No matter how rich your parents got - ill gotten or not - you get shitall.

You are only ever entitled to wealth - if you are entitled at all - if it is based on anything YOU did.
