A billion dollars, tax-free, would solve a lot of my problems! Take it away, Big Blue Jinn!
You have one wish.

999 trillion dollars. 
Tax free.
Tax free.
For the human race to become extinct. It would solve a lot of problems.
Interesting thread. 
I'd wish for a son.

Very nice.
To be with the person I love.
I wish I could have another one of those sandwiches I used to eat as a kid from a deli in a department store that doesn't exist anymore. Anything beyond that I probably dont deserve to have.
Meh. Call me shallow, but I would just wish to be as rich as Bill Gates. With that kind of money I could accomplish almost all other things I would want too.
My own starship.
Then I could leave all you scum behind.
But I don't have one.
So you're not scum any more!

I'd amend the US Constitution to abolish the Electoral College and give Senators votes in proportion to the sizes of their constituencies. (The leadership would go to whichever party wins the latest Senate national popular vote.) So while there'd still be lame-ass, small-state senators like Mitch McConnell around, they'd have to beg Barbara Boxer to let them even propose something or other! 
I'd also throw in a clause stating that those same Senators must be wearing togas to enter the chamber.

Beware of what you wish for. Togas tend to slip easily.I'd also throw in a clause stating that those same Senators must be wearing togas to enter the chamber.
I'd wish for the ability to find the answer to any question about physical reality (and why not, beyond that). Not the actual answers themselves (that would be boring), but the ability to find them.
I'm pretty sure that would bring me perfect health and a shitload of money, too.
That the praise I got as a child, for being the only one in the class who had actually read a book, and had some thoughts about it, would transfer to my adult life for once, and actually give me some greenbacks, and an Apple laptop and a train ticket, rather than getting the same looks from adults, now, that I got as an eight year old.
Long sentence.
Long sentence.
I would wish that everyone in the world would be able to read minds.
(I think that would eventually lead to world peace.)

no, that'd lead to complete societal breakdown as everyone would be fighting over every little slight.
me, i'd wish for a time machine so i could go back to 2008 and take my cat into the future to be cured of her illnesses and then return her to 2008 healthy so she'd still be alive today.
i'd also pop back to the 1960s and '70s with a DVDR and record every episode of Doctor Who as it aired so they could be released on DVD in the present with none lost.

The survivors would be at peace.
Money's very easy to acquire, given enough time, so eternal perfect health is actually the ultimate shallow answer. You can't take THAT away from me.
But I applaud your intentions.
Almost certainly at some point I would have thought, yes, which why I deliberately inserted the break clause.
Even if I never got bored enough to want to die, if the world ended, I'm not convinced I want to float about in space for all eternity....
