It'd Take A Dictator To Fix The USA

I think I could fix the USA if I were POTUS and were allowed to order just 10,000 to 20,000 assassinations. Following is a fairly comprehensive list of what needs to be done. I came up with 84 items off the top of my head:

57. sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
58. turn over highest jurisdiction to European Court of Human Rights
59. submit to the International Court of Justice
60. unilaterally relinquish the USA's seat on the UN Security Council
61. submit to the International Criminal Court
62. consent to the judgement against the USA in favour of Nicaragua in the International Criminal Court, pay reparations for waging war without ever declaring it
63. turn over all present and previous US state officials and members of the CIA who have international warrants pending for war crimes and crimes against humanity

79. permit the leasing of nuclear explosives for the purpose of space launch from remote regions
80. make the possession, production, importation and exportation of any gun shorter than the longest hunting rifle everywhere illegal and revoke all licenses
81. give police the power to make random searches for guns with only the possibility of arresting for gun, ammunition and explosive-related offenses on such a search (not even finding a dead body would count)
82. dismantle SWAT teams, drug units, and other ineffective specialized units (homicide?) everywhere
83. outlaw fascist parties and cults, have the FBI crack down on them
84. condemn waving of the flag as fascist
85. institute comparative religion classes in all schools
86. institute comparative history classes in all schools (Russian vs German vs American history in particular)
87. publicize the truth about the Russians beating the Nazis, not the Americans
88. cap the maximum size of schools at 200 students, make hall passes and other totalitarian practices illegal

Alternatively, I could institute sortition and let all of the above follow as a natural consequence. Of course, this gradual way would result in a greater total number of deaths since the status quo is quite deadly. 

But even without any of the above, I honestly think the world would be a better place if I got the option of assassinating all:

1. American state and federal congressmen, senators, and judges
2. preachers and televangelists
3. economists everywhere
   
4. American CEOs and board members
   
5. corporate lawyers
6. bankers at any of the big fake-banks
   
7. prison guards
8. air force pilots
9. celebrity journalists and media owners
10. directors of wealthy American charities or other "civil society" organization

I would also add American cops, criminologists, doctors and all anthropologists to the list, but those are less clear cut so there's much less of a benefit to humanity from killing them.

Note that I would not NEED to assassinate every single one of them. Just start with killing 100-100-100 congressmen, preachers, and economists on the first day, then kill the most prominent and annoying 20-10-10 each and every day. That's a solid year of death, more than long enough for absolute terror to settle like a fog on those professions and for their evil practitioners to bug out like the rats they are.

So you see, yes I really could fix the USA if I was POTUS and could arrange the assassinations of 20,000 people with impunity. Whether the USA could survive the blowback and hysterical panic of my fixing it is a totally separate question. And one I haven't got an answer to.

There is an awful lot of schadenfreude stored up in ordinary Americans so I think they would go for it. I think China would love it and the Saudis would hate it. Saudi Arabia would no doubt sponsor more terrorists to attack the USA in retaliation.

Billionaires would try to flee of course but I could always have them assassinated, or even make an example of the first twenty. By which I mean, wait until at least twenty leave then have them all assassinated at once to make sure a clear message is sent.
