This shows the inherent danger in participatory democracy measures such as referenda.<BR/><BR/>Take Louisiana which has one of the poorest education systems in America. A proposition was put forward for a tax cut that would necessitate gutting the education budget. It was passed by a strong majority.<BR/><BR/>People will throw their government and society into the gutter if offered the chance to shave their tax bill.
