Why aren't there national propositions, referendums, and issues on the ballot?
Why aren't the big issues of the day put to the people to vote on? You know, the political suicide ones to support... raising social security age, lowering benefits, gay marriage, marijuana legalization, immigration, war funding, health insurance.
I would think that these should be part of the yearly IRS tax forms, and then it gets into the next question of, if you support something, would you be willing to fund it from your tax refund (or have to pay more)?
Something like this:
Keep social security at age 62 for early withdrawal, 65 for regular..............................pay $50
else age 64 for early withdrawal, 67 for regular..........................................................pay $0
Pay for prisons and police for small time marijuana prosecutions................................pay $100
allow people to grow a little.......................................................................................pay $0
