State by state, we need referendums to eliminate the elected Reps healthcare and pensions

17. The OP

Suggested this be accomplished on a state-by-state basis.

As a resident of Texas I considered the OP on that basis.

I'm fairly certain that the average net worth of Texas State Representatives is significantly lower than the wealth of the members of Congress from Texas.

Since we have recently developed a penchant for electing idiots, morons, theocrats, social and economic Darwinists, and as a result we are the State that somehow managed to bring you Pappy Bush, Dubya, Cheney, Rick Perry, Tom DeLay, Dick Armey, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Dan Patrick, Greg Abbot, Louis Goehmert. ...I am willing to entertain any proposal to upset the apple cart.

If Texas ever returns to an election system that guarantees fair elections to all of its residents in all of its precincts I'd be happy to reconsider.

Currently Texas is a major contributor to the problem.

We're doing the best we can but desperate times call for desperate neasures.
