If I Were President MOS DEF

If I Were President is a Telly Ward-winning election campaign produced by 247Townhall.org and GOOD magazine. Mos Def is a critically-acclaimed rapper, actor, and activist, who is known for his creative, socially-conscious lyrics, powerful movie roles, and unwavering community support. He has appeared in numerous movies, including The Italian Job, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the Emmy-nominated Something The Lord Made. With Talib Kweli he formed the group Black Star and made a name for himself as a non-gangsta, socially conscious rapper who earned critical praise, if not multi-platinum record sales. After Hurricane Katrina, he penned the classic relief song Katrina Clap, which he performed, in protest, outside of the MTV Music Awards. myspace.com/mosdef

@bcthighs You have to change the Medical industry. Universal healthcare today means, govt pays for everyone's Insurance... and the insurance companies can charge anything, knowing govt will pay them.

[bcthighs]

wait 10% tax on everyone, 20% on the rich. Cool, but thats not enough to give universal healthcare and free breakfasts for 50 million kids. You would need 30-40% taxes and no wars

[TheSuperGisselle]

@whothaplaya, well technically if Mos Def was president we wouldn't be cutting corporations all this slack, harsher regulation of wall street and we wouldn't be spending hundreds of millions of dollars a week in middle eastern conflicts. it would work.
