Supermajority

[New Democracy]

Dear DEMOREP,

    "I also note that most current laws have been passed by minority rule
gerrymander regimes.  Would such laws now need to get a 5 to 1 vote to
repeal  them ?"

     No - the way to handle existing laws is to only require that they can
be repealed by the same percent of the vote that they were passed into law.

"Suppose a proposal is to have an increase of income tax rates. Guess which
faction will spend whatever it takes to stop the increase? It will not be
the poor."

     In a democracy the people have the right to tax themselves for
services that they want. Anyone, rich or poor, who will not be paying the
increase of income tax should not be voting on the issue.

     And, anyone who does not pay taxes should not have any say as to how
these taxes are to be spent. The people who pay the taxes are best
qualified as to how tax money should be spent.

     These two quotes of DEMOREP are connected because Conclusive Majority
(Supermajority) is one way in which we can include more of the tax payers
into the decision making of taxing and spending.

     And it follows that the non/low tax payers insist on a fifty percent
plus one majority so that they can tax someone to pay for government.

Regards,
Donald
