I just love to pay taxes so that we can pay LEOs to enforce idiotic laws.

There are plenty of them in here in Texas........ For instance it's illegal to have a sign that says "Ice Cold Beer". How often do you think that one is enforced.

I always thought it would be good if a candidate ran on a platform where he promised to repeal two laws for every new one that was passed.

How about another suggestion? Congress could pass laws that were effective for only 5 years with a simple majority. To make a law effective for 10 years, 2/3s of both the House and the Senate would be required.

This process would require the everything be renewed and we could force the current members of Congress to stand up and be counted on votes to continue programs rather than simply ignoring them and allowing them to perpetuate. My guess is that the tax code would be down to 5 pages in less than 10 years.
