      <![CDATA[@3 And the 5th time voters have voted for something unconstitutional. <br />
<br />
"Let's make it so government can't take anymore of your hard earned money!" sounds terrific in theory.<br />
<br />
It's like if we put the ability to remove all taxes forever up to the public vote. It would certainly pass with flying colors but of course would destroy our government.<br />
<br />
Sometimes what's best for the people isn't what's popular.<br />
<br />
As far as the story goes, meh how <em>would</em> they celebrate. I-502 and R74 achieved something tangible. Do they celebrate 1240 and 1184 by building a school or firing a government worker?<br />
