| #3 Posted on 1.4.03 2136.42 | Couple of things I'm surprised about:
1 - Is 35 amendments a high number, or a low one?
2 - The protection of victims amendment hasn't been passed yet - that makes a bit of sense to me upon first reading.
However, I'm really hesitant about repealing the income tax; living in a state without one (and, granted, with incompetant gov't), I find not having one just causes huge budget problems. I wouldn't want to see the same thing on a national scale.

Texas doesn't have one, and their budget runs just fine.

There's a easy solution to that; massive spending cuts for crap that should never have been funded in the first place.
