If the U.S. becomes like...?

China, how different would we be, would our economy be stronger, would our test scores and educational programs have higher test scores and results. What I mean is, does the U.S. need a dictator to just say "cut the bulls*it and get to work". Think about how it would affect our country if the general rule was to do what the dictator tells you or die. There would be no more political crap and conspiracies, just one person. I'm not for dictatorship but it's just a thought i've had lately.
