    Removing the house rep cap (more particularly adopting a plan similar to The Wyoming Rule) would be a fantastic idea and allow the house to return back to what it should be, populace representation. As the electoral college is based on combined reps and senators, this also does a fair bit towards resolving the underlying issue there.

    Corporate personhood is what allows you to sue a corporation and enter contracts with it. Removing it would not be the best idea with that in mind. The courts have allowed that to go further then it should vis a vis allowing contributions to political campaigns etc. Revert Citizens United and we’re largely good.

    if one allowed the IRS to file taxes for citizens you wouldn’t need to ban tax prep companies since the amount of people buying their products would fall off a cliff.

      This is only workable if you also eliminate gerrymandering. Otherwise The party that’s in charge initially will turn it into an enduring uni party across the whole country.
