hypercrites

We've been down this path before but a few things come to mind:

1. Greatly increase the number of members of the House of Representatives on the theory that each member is too powerful now. I would like dilute the power so that each representative, represented maybe 50K to 100K people.

2. Give the states the right appoint senators rather than have them popularly elected as they are today.  States are under-represented at the federal level in my opinion.

3. I'd replace the income tax with a consumption tax on retail sales.

4. I'd consider making serving as a congressman, a seasonal job.

5. I'd eliminate all farm subsidies.

6. I'd close the Department of Education and replace it with nothing.

7. I'd close the Department of Energy and replace it with nothing.

8. I'd close the Department of Commerce and replace it with nothing.

I'm tempted to say amend the constitution so that congress would have to identify the particular section of the constitution that authorizes a proposed law, but I'm sure two rubber stamps would quickly appear, one with the words "Commerce Clause" and the other with "General Welfare" so forget that idea.

It's unoriginal but a good start.
