Take it to the top, Chris! Start with United Airlines. With the way they're mishandling themselves, they need all the help they can get.
My other pet peeve that might be closer to you - 529 accounts. Why are 529 accounts not tax deductible in my state (CA)? If I am saving for my my childs' education, I am not only investing in their future, but the future of the state/country (one could argue)....incentivize me. Gym memberships and other health related activities too. You want me to be healthy, give me a discount/tax break on healthy activities. Imagine the savings we as tax payers would have on health care costs!
At the end of the day, a large part of our cultures problems are caused by bad economic policies. We all too frequently encourage the wrong type of behavior. If the systems that affect us all are setup properly, a lot of our problems would be minimized, if not eliminated outright.
