Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich; our nation might actually survive a few years if we had these men in power to roll back the currency-destroying, spendaholic and over-borrowing insanity in Washington. Although Paul is a Libertarian/conservative and Kucinich is a radical liberal, they agree on many key issues and stand against the majority of legislators' strange support of nation-destroying policies like NAFTA and endless war-mongering. Ron Paul is a medical doctor, one of the few elected officials in Washington that has ever held a REAL job. He even believes we could do away with income tax by scaling back government, as Thomas Jefferson adamantly believed.
I shouldn't hope for intelligence in the power centers of Washington; it just makes the misery of seeing the criminal, traitorous incompetent clowns we get to choose from too much to bear.
Great post. Though I don't agree with some of Paul's positions, because he's so staunchly libertarian, I have great respect for him. Two of my political heroes (Kuicinich and Ralph Nader) team up with him frequently. That's true cooperation and bipartisanship. True liberals and a true libertarian/conservative coming together to fight for the citizens.
I don't believe imposing a "special" or arbitrary tax on only one segment of the population is constitutional. If Trump wants to propose the rich voluntarily give $$ to get us out of this extreme mess, is another matter. Unfortunately, many of them won't leave it at that. They will want "payback" for their "charitable contribution", i.e. a piece of the power pie. Not that they don't already have a large piece of it....
Why would it be unconstitutional? Congress has to power to collect taxes in article 1 sec. 8. I am sorry but my pet peeve is when people stay something is unconstitutional without giving any grounds for why that is.
