I remember when was Perot was around in 88-'92 or so, even the Republican party was touting core issues such as: a flat tax, term limits for congress, line item veto, and a balanced budget-probably the last time we came anywhere near 'changing' anything. The general populous was supported of this, and books that were braking down government waste and the budget in detail were flying off shelves. Of course, after Perot was out of the race, you never heard another thing about it. If Jack Kemp had run a better campaign, who knows...I was not a Perot fan overall, but the idea of running the government budget as if it were an accountable business being prominent in the public mind was the last time I saw any idea for 'change' in modern politics. Until they can restructure our campaign funding system in the first place, we're never going to have a politician in any high office who isn't already bought and paid for. and as a note, as a conservative/independent hybrid myself, I don’t simply ballyhoo what we have representing us as any sort of role model for conservatism by any means.

For the most part, most conservatives I know think for the greater good, and just about every liberal leaning one seems to be a one or two issue voter. The short and simple part of it is, that pretty much everything bad is already illegal, other then enforcing the laws the government is way oversized and overfunded to do what they are supposed to do. There is more then enough money already in the budget to control our borders and pay for national health care in addition to sustaining our military and infrastructure if it were run anything close to resembling efficiency. A flat tax for everyone who makes over $30K and a purging of the incredibly bloated government agencies and massive government contractor budgets would be too much to ask. We have 6-figure salary contractors doing basic tasks alongside our $30k a year soldiers for crying out loud. There is nothing any more taxes would accomplish, but as was said above, there is no money in the cure.
