Benjamin Franklin did say. as the gentleman from Texas said. that in the end it is all death and taxes. but the problem is. he goes on to say that this is a dead idea. Arizona. Arkansas. California. Colorado. they have passed this. Delaware. Florida. Louisiana. Mississippi. Missouri. Montana. Nevada. Oklahoma. Oregon. South Dakota and Washington. So these are States that believe in this concept. and I think it is a time that has come to this House. just like the balanced budget amendment and like welfare reform. I remember this side of the aisle saying. oh. no. we cannot have welfare reform. We cannot have immigration reform. We cannot have balanced budget reform. When we look at our Constitution. we have had lots of amendments to try and improve it.
