Ted, > If they control the state, why can't they get their agenda through? Democracy often gets in their way. Many times Democrats have tried to do away with the 2/3 supermajority rule, but they can never drum up popular support to put it on the ballot. It tells you something when the legislature can increase spending with a simple majority but can't increase tax rates without a supermajority. Of course liberals think the answer is to just lower the barriers to higher taxes. They're so stupid, they have no clue what the root causes are. Tenchusatsu
