Please write on 1 page of paper your views on Term Limits on:

  1. When did I become your employee?
  2. If I wrote it on one page of paper, how could you read it?

I fear the power of an unrestrained bureaucracy more than I fear the power of an, at least nominally, representative government. As evidence, I offer Lois Lerner (IRS) and Gina McCarthy (EPA).

While the people that make the rules still must pander to "We The People" there exists some semblance of freedom.

Nameless, faceless bureaucracies need not fear the people and will act accordingly - that is why we have a representative government and not an aristocracy. Term limits would result in a de facto aristocracy.

The best plan for organizing a society is still our Constitution, as written, and most amendments beyond the first ten have been mistakes.

" I offer Lois Lerner (IRS) and Gina McCarthy (EPA)."

My two cents say that they were enabled and encouraged by The Elected Won and his minions, Get rid of them without getting rid of him won't do us a lot of good. But we should think of at least 2 historical times (Egypt and Japan) when the Lord High Poo Bah simply moved his inner Royal Court to a new location and left the bureaucrats behind to languish in the now-unused Old Capital. Great for thinning out the ranks.

Term limits would result in a de facto aristocracy. .....How so?....I’m befuddled. Having a Senator/ Representative in power for 30-40 years stealing everything he can as opposed to a legislator being in and then out, for 4 years, 6years, 10 years max makes the term limited guy aristocrcy, how? Not picking a fight, just how do you think.
