When is Enough ,Enough?

Yesss!!! I want to go out agreeing with each other. Flat tax is the way to go! I would add to that, no tax on the 1st 40K for individual filers and the 1st 80k for joint filers. And that's it. No waivers, write-offs, etc. On the 1st 40 or 80K, no one pays any federal taxes.

IMO a flat tax with a raised floor, protects Americans that need to be protected the most and eliminates people that can pay their taxes from BS writeoffs.

Holy Shit ! This is scary.:grouphug:

The single biggest issue that every citizen (i believe) would agree on in a heartbeat is term limits for senators. It should be no more than 18 years in the Senate. Biggest ongoing mistake by the founding fathers - although it really took effect once senators became publicly elected.

I would agree that term limits would be a great idea. Have no problem for 3 terms for a senator that is more than reasonable. I'd like it for the house too. Maybe 5 terms. Now all we need is a politician able to get a legislation through with it.

It could be done through a constitutional convention by the states. Thinking about it, I really like this concept:

House - 2 year terms, 5 max = 10 years in house
Senate - 5 year terms, 2 max = 10 years in senate
President - 4 year terms, 2 max = 8 years

Max Total Federal service all elected levels 20 years - Vice President kind of throughs a wrench in this if their terms are counted

SCOTUS - 15 year term with a 10 year extension granted by peer review (I would make it consist of the 1 judge from each state supreme court, and the fellow SCOTUS judges)

I'm glad we can all agree on term limits.

I would settle for 25 year limits, as 25-30 years is basically a career in gov't positions anyways.

It's fucked up the President has a 2 term limit, but Congress/SCOTUS have nothing. We need to make this happen.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That would be awesome but I am not sure a constitutional convention is any more plausible. I can dream though.
