The best solution is repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments, going back to an apportioned tax system and having Senators appointed rather than elected. This puts the burden of taxation and the power of taxation with the state governments (it still is halfway in the hands of the people via the House of Representatives).<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h25/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-05:/bill/112-h25 2011-01-11T19:27:43Z To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h25/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-05:/bill/112-h2 2011-01-11T19:26:02Z To repeal the job-killing health care law and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h2/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-05:/bill/112-h21 2011-01-11T19:25:30Z To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the mandate that individuals purchase health insurance.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h21/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-07:/bill/112-h246 2011-01-11T19:24:38Z To repeal the provision of law that provides for automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h246/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-13:/bill/111-h4995 2010-04-16T23:51:47Z To restore the American people's freedom to choose the health insurance that best meets their individual needs by repealing the mandate that all Americans obtain government-approved health insurance.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h4995/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-15:/bill/111-s3217 2010-04-16T23:06:35Z To promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end "too big to fail," to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purposes.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s3217/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-04:/article/1678 2010-03-05T09:58:07Z mkail666 wrote: On the other hand, how many Congressmen are being supported by green energy companies that stand to gain from stricter regulations on big polluters?<br/>View <a href="/article/show/1678-Lawmakers-With-Energy-Manufacturing-Ties-Oppose-EPA-Regulations">Article</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-31:/bill/111-h1826 2010-03-03T21:40:33Z mkail666 wrote: If a candidate opts into this system are they automatically less corrupt? If a candidate can raise the same amount of money with fewer donations does that make their corruption easier to detect? We blame the politicians for taking so much corporate money and favoring their needs over the people's needs, yet we still vote them back into power. Why mess with these paltry compromises? We can just have someone take our money, give it to the best candidates, and have them campaign to an independent commission that will do all of our research and vote for us.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1826/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-31:/bill/111-h1826 2010-01-11T05:05:59Z mkail666 wrote: I would like to see some actual comments as to why so many people support this bill. From what I understand this "Fair Election System" would be optional. In some cases a candidate would be better off not opting into this system. If all candidates did opt into this system, the matching payments would increase the disparity between them, not reduce it. Also, the language in this bill does not guarantee matching funds to all willing participants (i.e. third parties) and the requirements for qualification could be hard to meet by even Republicans and Democrats.<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1826/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-29:/bill/111-h3962 2009-11-17T22:03:56Z mkail666 wrote: So one bad idea deserves another?<br/>View <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3962/show">Bill</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2007:/person/400311 2008-06-22T07:12:42Z Ronald Paul R-
