The Double Trouble of Taxation » Tenth Amendment Center

Quote:
Today, if you took away the income tax, the government would still have revenue from other sources equal to total government spending in 1990, when government was still too big. $1.2 trillion should be more than enough to fund a government operating within its constitutional confines, and that is exactly what we need to get back to.
Ron Paul.

It's not Ron Paul that I worry about.

It's his supporters.

we need less government not more. they wouldn't need that much money if it was reduced. I would rather have it in my pocket, the government waste it.

people dont like ron paul because he isnt giving away freebees. hes actually expecting people to take care of themselves.

People havnt caught on that freedom takes responsability. So instead they trade their freedom to the government and blame them when things go wrong.

After watching that candid questionaire in Fla, it would not surprise me if some of these wing nuts actually thought that way, er, "felt" that way.
