Yeah, I could get behind 90% of this. Find me that candidate/party and I would vote for them!

I’d personally abolish the senate and leave the house alone, or change the house to one rep per every x number of people instead of whatever we do now.

Add political appointments can be recalled by the voters.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

That's interesting, how would that work? If a political appointment was recalled, there would need to be another vote right? I think it gets pretty muddy, what's to stop bad actors from immediately voting to recall the politician they didn't want to win?

Perhaps this is just my European wallet talking, but $50k/y income = rich people. I'm sure there are states in USA where this is also true.

That sort of a change would totally crash tax income?
