I don't mind taking away taxpayer right to vote on tax laws

So the people footing the bill for the govt shouldn't have any say?

"UK Member of Parliament (MP) Andrew Bridgen says NATO and its many tentacle nations are planning to stage a false flag attack, probably on a European city, by planting and detonating a nuclear "dirty bomb."

They do have say via the representatives they elect. There is a reason the founding fathers settled on a representative republic vs a direct democracy. I don't know how far back you went in the thread, but the Californicators that moved to Colorado voted to lock in budgets because it's easy to sell measures that prevent cuts in education, police, etc. It's also easy to sell tax cuts as a ballot measure. Let the people who we elect do the job they were elected to do.
