By Jon CaldaraTABOR simply means voter consent. TABOR is democracy. Weakening TABOR is weakening democracy. Every couple of years the spending lobby orchestrates an assault on our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. They are testing another onslaught likely for next year. I was around for the fights to pass TABOR in the early 1990s. Then- Gov.Roy Romer famously declared if it passed, it will put a “going out of business” sign on the entrance to Colorado.

A key part of the planned march toward socialism is, of course, endless propaganda. It’s not enough just to rely on the politics of envy. We need to take away those dangerous little opportunities where young people might accidentally experience the benefit of the free market in their fledgling lives. So how can we teach children to participate in class warfare, punish the productive by taking their stuff and that property rights and free exchange don’t exist?

Yes, yes — the threat to democracy is President Donald Trump. I’ve read the bumper stickers. But while we’re hyperventilating about fascism from the White House, we might want to save some furor for the frontal assault on democracy from the Colorado state Legislature. I’m talking attacking direct democracy. To my knowledge, no legislature in the country has passed term limits on themselves. Would you vote yourself out of a job?

Damnit Clark. I've told you I don't like agreeing with you. You know it spoils my whole day. We at Independence Institute asked the #cogov to veto. Glad he did. We asked #coleg not to override his veto. This is not about left or right. It's right or wrong. #copolitics
COMMENTARY: Journalists shouldn’t get special privileges on public records. Colorado lawmakers may overturn Democratic Gov @jaredpolis’ veto of a bill that would slow public records requests for everyone but journalists.
