I’m concerned about the fact that most state legislators in both political parties lean more to the left on state regulations, anti-family, police state, public education aberrant social and related policies than most voters of both parties. They more often work more directly for the political/regulator class and tend to favor tax hikes. Now, in my state, the politicians and their few, favored constituents are trying to take control of tax hikes from citizens of the state (state constitution), so that those legislators, local government interests and their socialist business cronies can hike taxes against the wishes of the general population.
Same on the VAT (”FAIR”) tax issue. It’s a national sales tax for big, over-regulating government that works to keep potential domestic competition down for globals.
Have fun. Enjoy the slide. Or cut spending and dump the regulations against new, small manufacturing businesses.
Ah...on the tax hike issue, they’re using the judicial system to try to void the state constitutional amendment support of the general population against tax hikes. I don’t want to see more slavery administered by the bipartisan political/regulator class under the debt regime (which includes services owing to their majority of government-income customers).
The founding fathers intended that The People would only indirectly be represented. The Representatives and Electoral College were designated for this purpose. I support this concept and favor repeal.
Of course, there would have to be an amendment passed. The Senate would have to be passed, too. Do you really think the Senate would do that? Never!
Living in Louisiana, we have a prime suspect and cause to adopt the repeal of the 17th Amendment! It is none other, than ‘the blond from the Chocolate City’, $300 Million Dollar Baby, the Senator who rolled over to vote for Obamacare Mary Landrieu!!!
