I propose a tax on elected officials based on budget overruns. Those responsible for passing unbalanced budgets will be required to pay forty cents from their own income for every dollar spent in an annual budget that exceeds revenues.

I'd be happy to see them get a bonus performance incentive based on how much they reduce taxes and the budget over the previous year.

I’d be happy with some justice (tar & feather, jail time, etc.) for elected officials when they squander my tax contribution irresponsibly and/or unethical practices.
