There's a 36 page paper linked in this article if you use the table of contents you can skim through it.

Here's a study from Wayne University on how term limits have negatively impacted Michigan

Twelve-year study by Wayne State faculty shows term limits for Michigan legislators have negatively impacted state - Newsroom - Wayne State University

Also at the bottom of the original link there are two studies that show "nuanced effects"

Again there are good arguments to be made for them, I just think they are short sighted and aren't going to have the impact people think they will. Sorry for coming off condescending about the matter.

Appreciate the response. I'll take a look and respond tomorrow. I feel very strongly about enacting congressional term limits, but am certainly open to reviewing its merits. Thanks for that.

Then why don't you voluntarily send more of your money to the government?

You wouldn't make a joke like that if something terrible happened to you or someone you cared about.

I do voluntarily send too much money to the government each and every year. It's why I get a tax refund.

pac213up · 10-18-2016, 08:28 PM

People do not actually believe taxes are going down if by some miracle Trump wins....do they?

Why don't you put your money where your ideology and mouth are by letting the government keep your refund for starters?

Trump is inviting Obama's half-brother to the 3rd debate lol

They would go down for his inner circle cronies, but not for the rest of us. Trump's proposed spending would make democrat blush.

Top tax brackets $250,000. Lots of middle class and upper class people this would effect. Lots of medium businesses. Current tax bracket is 39.5% and Hillary wants to increase it. Down right stupid if you ask me.

What is more stupid is the idiot republicans nominated.

I wonder what I could get if I donated to the Clinton Foundation?

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department

Probably couldn't do better than $29B in weapons. WOW.

Either there was already life on Mars OR Elon Musk must have bumped up his time table for the $10 million trip to Mars. The Trump on Mars probably has better odds than the one running here. I haven't seen any news or SNL skits about women being groped on Mars.

Found this sketch card for sale on Ebay, couldn't resist sharing. I haven't decided if I'm going to buy it, but it sure did make me laugh.

Let me do it for you. He pays little taxes, and donates little to charity.

Now you can be outraged. When it comes to taxes, he's like almost every American.

The Liberal toolbox:
-- Display a superiority complex, usually backed by a bullcrap college degree.
-- Preach mainstream media reporting as facts.
-- Blindly downplay and defend Hillary's corruption.
-- Discredit those who have different views by referring to them as racist or other damning terms.

Congrats! You managed to use two or three of them in one short sentence.

Nyfancam01 · 10-18-2016, 10:54 PM

So excited for Hillary to absolutely own him again tomorrow! I'm sure the racist idiot will look dumb again ranting on about useless information and completely dodging the actual questions once again. Will he be sniffing over and over again?

NOV 8TH.... Vote CLINTON

Astros19 · 10-18-2016, 11:02 PM

Can someone make me up a meme for Hillary?
Something in a "Where's Waldo?" Theme.
Seriously, don't most candidates beat themselves to death campaigning the last few weeks until the election.
Amazing how little we've seen or heard from her with the election so close.
Private fundraisers? Really?

Maybe it's just me, seems bizzarre.
