How Hard Can it Be?

It just doesn't seem that difficult. Except, of course for the corruption and degeneracy of Congress.

TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) has long been a staunch advocate of responsible
government spending. As Chairman of the Republican Study
Committee (http://www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/), he has renewed the
call for a Taxpayer Bill of Rights, challenging the denizens of Capitol
Hill to embrace it before the federal government drives us into a fiscal
disaster. Some of its basic points are: 1) Taxpayers have a right to have
a federal government that does not grow beyond their ability to pay for it;
2) taxpayers have a right to receive back each dollar that they entrust to
the government for their retirement; 3) taxpayers have a right to expect the
government to balance the budget without having their taxes raised; and 4)
taxpayers have a right to a simple, fair tax code they can understand.

Embracing the ideas that a balanced federal budget means less spending, not
more taxes, and that taxpayers have the right to a simplified tax code seems
antagonistic to liberals, but to those of us that live in the real world
and advocate constitutional government, such rights are merely commonsensical.
