Wouldn't it be great if we started voting for the ones who DON'T create new laws/rules, and even better, repeal many of the useless ones already there.

Absolutely. And if they get in and create more laws/rules/taxes, then we vote them out next time. Incumbents seem to keep getting voted back in. Most don't have any idea what they have done. It's all about name recognition I think.
