Let's say I owned a company with assets valued at $5 million. I'd liquidate it, buy myself a Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie watch for $1.5 million, a few other pieces of jewelry for my wife for $3.5 million. We'd hop on a plane to go on vacation, sell the jewelry for a loss and never come back.
Congressional term limits. The reason is sometimes it seems like some write legislation for the sake of writing it and much of the party blindly jumps on board for fear of losing some appointment or rank. Yeah, yeah. Vote them out. That doesn't work when a particular person is completely entrenched and, in some cases, you don't even have anyone bother to run against them.
First and foremost, I would strike the Sixteenth Amendment, and bar so-called "progressive" taxation, whereby those who earn more not only pay more, but pay a higher percentage. This practice is specifically outlawed by the state constitutions of Pennsylvania and Michigan, among others, and would go a long way toward stopping the bureaucratic empire-builder.
And I would like to see Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 (the "commerce" clause), reworded so as to hold it to its original intent of barring tariffs on commerce between the states, rather than meddling with free enterprise in the form of "regulation".
I would also like to see public employees strictly forbidden from unionization, and all education privatized (with a voucher system to ensure that all children would still have access). Those measures would stop Big Brother and Sister in their tracks and bury socialism once and for all, but they're really not Constitutional issues.
