Over the years, many ideas have been tossed around that could help the United States but, due to politics, they will never be implemented.
For example:
The Fair Tax: Federal taxes are no longer based on income, rather, based on how much you spend.
Telecommute for Congress & Senate: In this age of technology, why do representatives have to live in DC? Convening sessions via secure telecommunications would save millions and keep Representatives in their home state.
Term Limits: The Founding Fathers had no intention of anyone making a career out of "serving a term"
Life Long Pensions: There is no reason at all that any Representative of any kind should be paid for the rest of their lives simply by setting foot in DC.
These are just a few off the top of my head.
Can you think of any "common sense" plans that will never be implemented because of politicians?
