Interesting approach. The government party could then mail a penny to each citizen of the opposing party to disenfranchise them. After they voted, that penny could be used to incarcerate them.
No, better for each interest to keep others in check. I would like to see the Senate rule on ending debate be made constitutional. That powerful check on the majority should have a more firm foundation than a mere rule established by majority vote.
In the long run, we are limited by math and physics, but still more by psychology. Other countries won’t loan us money if we can’t possibly repay it. At that point the promises made by the socialists will not be kept. Something that can’t go on forever won’t.
England has seen 2/3rds of its millionaires leave since they raised their taxes to 50% level. France will see the same thing as they move their tax level to 75%. Atlas will shrug. Pain will happen.
The burned hand teaches best.
Even more sophistry. I expect better out of my ten year old.

There is no check on people voting themselves goodies out of the federal budget.

We are already at that point and the spending is only increasing. We are simply printing money at this point. At what point do the moochers admit they were wrong? The worse it gets the more it is someone else's fault.

Pain will happen, but in many cases it means passing through extremely dark times, and there is no guarantee there is a light at the end of the tunnel or that what comes out the other side bears any relation to what went in. Rome went under and it took a thousand years before civilization returned to the same level.
There is no guarantee the sort of political liberty we enjoyed in this nation will ever happen again once its light completely goes out.
Those millionaires are like people under a tree in a rainstorm assuming they can just move to another tree when the one they are under gets saturated.
