Congratulations Tim Eyman on your recent successes. I agree wholeheartedly with your newest effort to help make the voice of the people heard. Why stop the Initiative 800 at tax increases? Let’s take it a step further and require 75 percent approval for all votes of the people and votes by our representatives. What better way to make sure that the majority of the voters are heard than to require a 75 percent supermajority to pass ballot issues and laws?
Seventy-five percent to pass. This should ensure that special-interest groups such as labor unions, supporters of sensible growth, local municipalities and taxing districts, minorities and families all have no say in the workings of local, state or federal government.
Seventy-five percent to pass – this will be great. We could bring government to a halt. The only issues that would pass would be the ones that everyone follows like a lemming to a cliff. We can get everyone marching to the same drummer. Diversity of opinion is overrated anyway.
Seventy-five percent to pass – let’s start today. We can begin with Initiative 800. I mean, what kind of example would we be setting if we didn’t live by our own philosophy?
