I'd like to see a country where enough job opportunities exist that anyone who is willing and able can make a decent living, those who are not able have some sort of assistance program to make them able (Free education and job training) and those who cannot become able (Mentally handicapped, crippled) can find generous people to help them survive without handouts from the government, and find even a small job that they are capable of performing in order to contribute and get back from society. Every job would be equal oportunity (not the pathetic excuse for "equal" that we have today,) and every person who was willing to work hard could be promoted based on work and experience. Nutritious food, clean water, breathable air, and a secure home would be rights, not commodities, and provided for free, and paid for by a fair tax rate. Extra food or a larger house could be purchased if desired, but the basic needs would be fulfillled by the government. Vehicles would be efficient and clean, and public transportation would be encouraged and provided.
In other words, I'd add a few things to the land of opportunity that our society is intended to be.
