Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Tax 99% of them and then introduce another bill to tax the ones starting with "E".
You could pass the bill and then do another bill to fix the other issues.
I'm against pork in bills and feel like they should not contain more than one issue. But it is all designed that way for a "reason". Don't like the idea of a bill, well add some pork and now you can be against that.
Thats not how law making works though.
If you pass a bill then the job is done. It might be decades before it comes up again.
Poorly drafted legislation can ruin lives.
"Thats not how law making currently works though"
Yes things would need to change but if law makers had the public interest in mind, things would move much faster.
Single issue bills can also be decided on faster
The idea you're scared of is a benefit to "their" system. Less gets passed, less change.
