look at all the attention this post is getting from newbees. hmmm, interesante

All taxes shall be "apportioned" across all tax payers, no more of the top 50% of tax payers covering almost all of the taxes and bottom 50% paying in almost none. Any tax increase on one tax bracket shall be applied to all tax brackets. Tax payers cannot get a "tax refund" that is an amount more than they put in.

Also, there is a NATURAL right to private property. Local, state and federal governments can not tax more than a combined 25% of your gross income. All "death" and "wealth" taxes are null and void, again "private property".

I both agree and disagree with some of these. In a way if we were going for ideal then we wouldn't need to worry about some of these because the government wouldn't have any regulation of industries which lead to the high dollar donations for favorable relationships. However as long as the government continues to stick their fingers into the business of everything a restriction on these donations would probably be beneficial.

How about there shall be no laws enacted which prevent the freedom of choice which do not infringe on the rights of others.

Like that stupid law they are trying to pass in New York banning soda pop.

All laws enacted by a governing body shall expire with that governing body. So, each Congress would have to re-enact any law that they chose to keep from the previous Congress. The only way to make a law permanent would be to amend the Consitution.
An alternate version would be to set an expiration term, such as 4 years.

I would restructure out election system. Not the electoral college, but mostly the format of campaigning and fundraising. Too often money muddies the water, politicians lie to get your money and then your real goals are never met.

I like all of the talk of term limits, but I'd like to add:

1. Limit the amount a single person or entity can donate to a campaign.
2. Enact a strict set of guidelines of public discourse where each candidate is asked the same set of questions and offers a response in a set amount of time, no more, no less.
3. Require candidates post on their website their platforms with measurable goals, not generalities.
4. Make it illegal for politicians to be involved directly or indirectly with the companies that donate to their campaign for several years before and after their term.
5. Remove the lifelong post-term pay for everyone except the president, and even that office would only receive enough to provide a security team and contract pay for consulting with future Presidents. All Presidents from now on will make millions post-term, no matter who they are because of the office they held.

I believe that if we had such a system it would go a long way to end crony capitalism and get us back to pure capitalism. Plus it would put the idea back into our society that government is a short term donation of your time and effort to better your country, not line your pockets and power.

No law effecting the constitution, or the rights of the citizens of the United States of America, can be enacted, or amended, without a plebiscite vote (a vote of all the citizens), with a written form, sent to every household in America, released well in advance of the vote.

After lowering myself to "thinking" like a scum-sucking politician, I realized I needed to amend my 2nd one:

2, section 1. No one can run for Congressional Office in either chamber until after a 4-year period expires after their last day of employment by a lobbying firm.

Doing this ensures morons wouldn't be a lifetime lobbyist, whose little scheme build-up would culminate when they leave the firm to become a Senator or Representative.

Now I need to go shower. To think like todays' slimeball politician...so gross.

No federal or state law shall be enacted or enforced until its constitutionality according to original intent shall be established.

I bet a lot of them would currently change their tunes!

Congressional members of both House and Senate and Presidential executive orders MUST adhere to every law they have enacted for the citizens of the United States, including healthcare and the bearing of arms.

1) Congressional members of both House and Senate will be limited to serving no more than 3 terms, be it consecutively or non-consecutively.

2). Congressional members are barred from joining any lobbying group for a period of 4 years after last day of holding office in either chamber. (This prohibits lobbying firms from becoming an unofficial congress)

That an executive order shall not be enacted for the purpose of mandating the infringement of choice, or otherwise taking away the free will of the citizens of the United States.

As languages are living and breathing, and contracts are not, this Constitution shall be interpreted with its original intent, and not with any passing trend or use of language or rhetoric.

Congress shall make no law establishing or incorporating a theocracy, whether it be Judean, Christian, Muslim, Marxist, Eco, or any other; nor shall it make any law restricting the non-theocratic practice of any religion.

And the government shall keep no records, nor require registration, licensing or any other form of record keeping of personal property, including arms.

The right to protect, even from one's own government should it turn oppressive, one's own liberty, self, family, friend, or property with lethal force and the keeping and bearing of arms shall not be infringed.

No property shall be taken for the purpose of an expanded tax base; nor shall any assets be taken for the purpose of wealth redistribution.

Congress shall not levy any tax on income or assets; nor shall it levy any other tax which is progressive in collection or redistributive in purpose.
