I remember when I first got my hands on the libertarian Taxpayer's bill of rights (TABOR) in Colorado. I investigated it along with some clients for a project, and I was shocked at how services and education stats in CO had dropped from the top 15 to the bottom 20 states before and after TABOR came to be. The more I checked the more I understood that if you want broad quality, tax cutting is never going to be the way. I can't fault anyone for wanting to affect the system when it comes to what they want gov. to spent on, but that's a different issue. A reasonably sized government apparatus is key to quality, as is transparency, voting and debate.
