With election day nearing, I wanted to put out a few nonpartisan ideas on how to increase voter participation. These are different ideas than just adding weekend voting or extending voting hours.
1) Have federal election forms filed with your taxes, turning April 15 into more of a civics day rather than tax day.
2) Put a term limit on U.S. Supreme Court justices. There is no place for lifetime appointments in a democracy.
3) Add an equal tax rate amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Once an item is deemed taxable, it is taxed at the rate set by Congress, with no exceptions. Income, corporate estate, capital gains — it doesn’t matter — it’s all taxed at the same rate. No loopholes for big donors.
