Just look to California for reasons why we don't vote on single issues.

Tax Cuts and Benefit increases are the only things that pass, and so trying to levy taxes or decrease benefits (to balance the budget) are impossible to get done because the voters shoot it down.

Granted it's not working at the moment on the Federal Level, but it did just 14 years ago... we can do it again once the warrbagle ends in Washington.
