Stupidity isn’t reserved for the coasts.
There are many examples of dumb things going on in the “fly-over” States.
Fixing it requires a wholesale replacement of most elected officials to be
replaced by folks who would cut spending and cut taxes and repeal job-killing,
freedom-killing rules and return half of what they do back to the free market
private sector.
Voters would prefer to have each law
passed or failed on its own merits rather than bundling laws into budget bills
or allowing unrelated laws and amendments to be bundled. Legislatures need to
change their rules. Special interest groups may object to these reforms because
reforms may interfere with creating bad law. Apparently most of those who
contribute to political campaigns want this bad law, but citizens don’t.
Our current governing system employs
bribery and extortion, but could also be reformed by making campaign
contributions by special interests illegal. Campaign contributions should be
restricted to voters. This law would
only allow voters to make campaign contributions for candidates on their
ballot. Elected officials would only
work for their constituents.
The functions of government should be
dictated by the voters. Voters should put “propositions” on the ballot to
restrict what government does and should vote to establish priorities. I would vote for critical infrastructure as
the top priority for government. That
would include reservoirs, water availability during droughts, sanitary sewers,
water treatment, storm sewers, flood abatement, roads, highways, bridges. These
are the most expensive structures to replace and need to be well maintained.
Legislators are currently able to wander
outside their intended boundaries. There is no reason for government to spend
taxpayer money on a wildlife preserve or public transit or anything else the
private sector could do.
Legislators make their own rules and
voters should begin to pass “propositions” to revise these rules. Legislators get raveled up in their own underwear
over rules that hide the truth of the Bills they pass. The folks we have been
electing to office have wrecked the place.
