"if you don't like your state legislature, MOVE!"

What is wrong with Representative government? Or informing your neighbors to change? Also this gerrymandering canard is funny in general. You do realize it's tit-for-tat and districts constantly change. Does gerrymandering prevent you from voting for a Governor; State Amendments; Judges, etc... "Oh now, I am powerless and held hostage by me State rep." Also, I find this highly hypocritical that you point out incidences by the British system that STILL occur after the 17th. Do you realize the amount of debt we have, that wasn't in place before all those "progressive amendments" went into affect?

From 1789 until 1913, the inflation rate was -20%. Since the introduction of the Federal Reserve, the inflation rate has been over 3000%.

An amendment needs to be passed that specifically prohibits any agency created by Congress from implementing any rule that punishes people or companies monetarily or legally. Do away with the administrative state’s power to create rules with the weight of law.

Women don’t vote nearly as reliably to the left as blacks, so I take it you *really* regret their gaining the right to vote?
