Okay, I'll vote for the candidates that will allocate more of my tax money towards these goods and services I want and support.

It's interesting how once people were successfully swindled into privatizing everything, the rhetoric changed from "everything will be cheaper!" to "well of course it's more expensive, you want to reward them for their superior service, right?". Apparently none of these extra costs go to appeasing middlemen or lining investor pockets, all these companies clinging onto natural monopolies are just too good at what they do. They have no conflicts of interest whatsoever!
