When decisions are made by majority rule, elected officials have a strong incentive to keep taxes low, run budget surpluses, and spend taxpayer funds wisely. When majority rules in a vote elected officials are typically in a much better standing with the voters and have time to focus on what's important and how to spend their funds wisely versus trying to spend money to win them over.
