How about applying the death penalty, instantly and on the spot, for breaking the rules. (The Constitution) ANY taxpayer could carry out the sentence, whether on congresscritter or staffer. Any piece of legislation authored by staffer or introduced by member which either increased taxes or otherwise abridged taxpayer rights and liberty would be justification at the subsequent trial. After that, the sole remaining question would be the appropriateness of the method of killing. (Gun-grabbing legislation might merit a bath in the boiling oil vat, for example, whereas a one-cent per million dollars increase in the income tax might merit decapitation only...)
“Those who sell their liberty for security are understandable, if pitiable, creatures. Those who sell the liberty of others for wealth, power, or even a moment’s respite, deserve only the end of a rope... America’s historic misfortune is that her people have seldom been equal to the ideals upon which their nation was established. “— L. Neil Smith, The American Zone (2001)
