Reply #38: These ideas are all well and good (and quite good in most cases)

but what's to stop the next republican administration from rescinding them all or sitting on their thumbs when it comes to enforcement?

We recognize that there are some laws that will always be on the books and enforced, like those against murder, assault, theft, and so on. What we need is a way of making laws (like taxing the wealthy) to be so difficult to remove as to not be worth the effort. In a way, healthcare is like that in England, because it's political suicide to ever vote against it.

Find a way to keep the taxes on the wealthy in place once implemented (and enforced), reign in the military spending in the same manner and we will have a fine government again, indeed! :D
