Senate Constitutional Amendment 5, now pending in the Senate, would restore that political balance at its fundamental level: the voter. It would bring back the common dictionary definition of a tax and require that all taxes be approved by voters. By reinstating taxpayers to the decision-making process, voters could judge for themselves whether their money is being spent wisely and whether they wish to entrust government with still more of their earnings.

I hope it works. I don’t know if we can survive much more of Gray Davis On Steroids.
