Not a bad idea, Bruce, in fact a damn good idea. Now, just how do we find a candidate for office (ANY candidate) who will accomplish the goal of lower taxes and less government? We'll be inundated this summer with campaign promises that will sound great and will be forgotten as soon as the candidates are elected. I wish I could be less skeptical, but every election I have seen in my lifetime has gone this way and I don't see how it can ever change. People become short-sighted when they vote, as you pointed out, because it seems that all they can hope for is some benefit for themselves from whoever they elect. They have no hope of changing the "system".
You pointed out the problem very well. What is YOUR solution? The Libertarian Party might accomplish something, or maybe an unconventional candidate like Jesse Ventura is the answer. I am open to suggestion.
