1. Swift identifies many issues such as unemployment, poverty, overpopulation, and street riff-raff. The exigence here is to suggest to the people of Ireland to be proud of their country and do what they can to help it through tough times, and help their neighbors through these times, rather than turning to crime and violence against one another and the state.
2. I would like to propose the removal of Barack Obama from the presidency, on the grounds that he is a foreign born socialist. Clearly his health care policy is an attempt to seize full control of the U.S. government and destroy capitalism. Seeing as he was not born in America and is not a U.S. citizen, his loyalties lie with other nations and he is clearly plotting the downfall of the United States from the inside. Also, those of us familiar with the "Baracka Flacka Flame, Head of State" video are aware of his role in urban street gangs. Upon removing this horrendous mistake from the Oval Office, I believe that to fill the void it would be in the nation's best interest to revive the body of Ronald Reagan, or just leave his corpse to rest at the president's desk. Go America!

Perhaps my difficulties are due to the dialect of the 1700's, and if I were more comfortable in that style of speaking the point would be clearer.
