What the American people need to do is pass a Federal Constitutional Amendment, and a State Constitutional Amendment in all 50 states that limits the Governments power to tax to only what is necessary to provide for emergency services - police, fire, etc.; National security - military; and roads. Then also put a clause in the amendment that makes it illegal for the government to spend more than it takes in. The sanction for violation of any of the following would be immediate and permanent removal from office - of all of the individuals who were responsible for the violation. The position would be then filled by the second highest vote getter in the last election so long as it is more than 30%. If there is no one with more than 30% of the vote then there would be a special election to fill the vacancy.
