I wish lawmakers at state and federal levels had to repeal a certain percentage of all new laws

I would like to see laws have a 20-30 year sunset so that successive generations can decide if they want to keep them.

Just like our antique 1916 Tax Code. Just suppose it expired every 30 years unless Congress voted to continue it.

The way it is now, we are governed by a system set in place by people who have been dead 100 years because Congress doesn't have the political will to debate whether that system is still viable.

Sunset provisions would force that examination and stoke contemporary public involvement.
