It couldn't exactly be perfectly equal, and like I said, there'd be no law against taking on more work if you wanted more money. But that would be the point: people earn what they work for. Because now there are people struggling to stay alive. I don't believe I could ever totally eradicate that, but if I could I'd like to make it somewhat less unfair, because some people take it for granted that safety, security, and money are their birthrights while other people never had that. And video games can inspire incredible teamwork, although not in my brother. He wants to be in first place no matter what.

No, I don't say everything has to be exactly equal. I should have made this clearer. Also, I would allow people to work for their own dreams, and people who worked more/harder would earn the pay that they worked for. They would also be able to own their own possessions and homes. However, a lot of people sit around with massive amounts of wealth and can afford to pay thousands of dollars to have their hair done while other people are drinking water that is more bacteria than water because they literally had to pull it out of the ground. So I'd try to enforce a more even distribution, so that everyone would have enough. Some people would still have more than others, but it wouldn't be so ridiculous. I also think our system is screwed up. The people we rely on to keep things running (bus drivers, janitors, etc) are paid very little. Even teachers have cause to complain, because I guess passing on an education isn't worth much pay. But the people we hire simply for our own entertainment, such as actors and sports players, who would probably choose to do that job anyway simply because they like it, get paid exorbitant amounts. I would reverse that so that the people who worked the hardest and kept things running got a wage that reflects their effort, while people with 'fun' jobs could still be paid enough to live on, but not such a ridiculous sum of money. That would be the beginning of equal distribution.

Ummm...well...I'd try to enforce a more even distribution of money around the world. This would mean that we would put lots of our resources into people living in poverty. It would also mean that a lot of the people who had previously had an abundance of money would have to do without them. But they'd live, even though they'd probably complain about it. Corporations wouldn't be happy with me either, since they basically cater to people who have extra cash to spend and take advantage of the people who don't. That would be my next step: to make sure that corporations had to follow the law just like everyone else.

Make my own ski slope and an army of adorable snowmen, snow women, and, depending on my skill level, a plethora of magical snow creatures. The only problem is that a snow-dragon's fire-breathing abilities would melt it, so that would be a one-time use. I'd have to work out the bugs. Oh! I got another idea. There's a part in the movie where Elsa lets her hair down and then uses her ice powers to freeze it into a different style. So I could instantly style my hair and not have to worry about it staying in place, and if the rain or the wind messed it up I could simply do it again. Not only that, but if someone was annoying me, like my brother, I could just reach over and do stupid stuff with their hair to annoy them back.

Possibly.
I like that idea.

I'd either have acquired ice powers or caught something really bad.

I guess so. That is some severe frostbite.
