Starchild,Can you draw a line between losing elections and positive outcomes?
You continue to assert the value of running as a soapbox. But what it does in the political arena is just the opposite. The people become accustomed to the "meowing with the drowning of the kitties".
Simply running for office has value as a soapbox whether you win or not. All of the stuff on the list would STILL be bad even if government weren't funding them with money stolen from the people, so having "with our tax dollars" at the end of every line might be usefully dispensed with to avoid giving the impression that we wouldn't mind these evils so much if we weren't footing the bill. Other than that, it's an excellent list, and I certainly appreciate the pull-no-punches, truth-to-power "Taxation is theft" declaration!
