a new constitution

[jt1]

Our constitution is not an adequate government model of governance for the 21'st century.

Here are some reason why: 1) Congress can spend money it doesn't have nor plans to have. 2) Social issues like abortion and homosexuality have hijacked the federal government. 3)Incumbents have an unfair advantage over challengers. 4)Campaigns have more to do with manipulating perception than fostering an objective debate. 5) Groups that don't vote pay a higher taxes to services ratio than those that do.

Explanation: 1) Any system that doesn't have its legislative body fund programs based on a percentage of expected revenue will inevitable run up unhealthy deficits. 2)The social difference between Rurual and Urban, North and South is too vast to settle at the Federal level. Individual communites should be allowed to settle divisive issues on their own before the issues explode into a national debate which can only weaken the country. 3)Any system that gives an advantage to one candidate over another cannot be called a representative democracy...In other words, America is not a representative Democracy 4) When perception becomes more important than reality, a democracy is doomed to fracture and inertia. 5)People may argue that groups that are too ignorant too vote don't deserve their proportion of funds, and they have a point. However, I believe that ignorance is institutional within these groups and you can't expect ignorance to combat ignorance.
