What idea do I have for fixing America?

I'd start with annual certification courses for every legal resident. The courses would cover the all important concept of personal responsibility.

Curriculum:

1) Your success is your fault
2) Your failure is your fault
3) No one but you made you who you are
4) See rule 1

I believe, in large part, the root of problems in this country boil down to people refusing to take responsibility for their own lives.

As I look back over my 52 years, I see nothing -- and I mean nothing -- bad that has happened to me that I didn't cause. So I really don't have much to complain about.

I'm not saying everyone is like me -- but some are. In my opinion, they need a refresher course in that curriculum quoted above.
