If you could add one of these amendments, which would it be?
Balanced budget amendment - Phrased properly to allow for legitimate emergencies, but force Congress to stay within its means the rest of the time.
Term limits - set limits to how long a congresscritter can set up camp in Washington.
Positive rights (right to food, housing, healthcare) - Added this one just to give progressives a choice.
Redefine the Commerce Clause to its intended limits - this would severely limit what congress could do since most of what they do now was forbidden until FDR and his tame SC warped it beyond all recognition.
Single Topic Bills (ie, can't ban internet gambling in a port security bill) - I get so sick of riders added to bills that have nothing to do with it but if you don't like the rider, then you have voted against the 'save billy bill' and are a heartless bastard.
Make wealth redistribution illegal - simply put, no taking money from people and giving it to others. This can be welfare, entitlements, backed loans, subsidies, etc.
Cap taxes at X - set a hard upper limit on what taxes can be. As I recall, the taxes that were considered so onerous and led to the American Revolution were under 10%, isn't that interesting?
Gay Marriage Amendment - would you outlaw Gay Marriage if you could?
