Politicians: First US state that has a state debt to tax both the income (including pensions) and

assets (including homes) of its current and former state politicians 90% and use the tax revenue to pay off the state’s debt.  [As politicians are the ones that got their states into debt, they should be forced to help get their state out of debt.  Taxing politicians alone will not wipe out any state’s debt but it will send a clear message about who is SOLELY responsible for getting his or her state into debt and what will happen if he or she ever does so again.]  Once a state’s debt is eliminated, this special tax on politicians is lifted.  [Expect states that allow citizen-initiated state-wide referendums to be the first to make this challenge law.]


Future Challenges:

1) Help spearhead the state-wide petition drive within her/his state and if her/his state allows people to sign petitions online, to have a way for people to sign the petition at the show's website.  If her/his state doesn't allow online petitions, the show's website has a way for people to request referendum workers come to their homes so they can collect the person's signature and then the host/ess encourages her/his listeners to go to the show's website and make the request.

2) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect at least the minimum number of signatures needed to get the referendum on the state's ballot.

3) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win.

4) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win in a landslide (winning by at least a 2-to-1 margin).
