Put tax penalties on politicians
I believe that the best way for the state to solve all of the financial problems is to tax politicians for all stupid or meaningless things they say, promises they do not keep, negative campaign statements about other politicians, refusals to compromise, and acts of incompetence or stupidity.
In just a few years, the state should have a financial surplus and be able to reduce taxes for everyone else. Can this proposal be put in the November ballot?
