You make this claim with no evidence whatsoever that he has plans on raising taxes for anyone other than those making over $250,000 a year.

Show me how he can do all he is doing and wants to do without raising taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year. It's not possible. Depending on the top 1% of income earners to pay over 40% of the income tax revenue has resulted in tax collections dropping precipitously.

The golden goose can't pay any more. Guess who Obama's coming after next? He has no choice.

Perhaps it would help clarify things to remember that the government, and the president, are not "leaders". Never were. Shouldn't be.

The president is the highest ranking public servant. SERVANT. NOT LEADER. NOT MASTER.

His delegation of authority is to execute the laws enacted by Congress, allegedly to "secure rights" and "govern those who consent".

Unfortunately, that form of government was eradicated in 1935. We are witnessing the final stages of the United Socialist States of America. What rises from the ashes is unknown.

Ron Paul is scared that something that he is part of is being hijacked by the Neo-cons.

Are you implying the actions of some the tea party participants are more of a concern than those of the federal government?
I'm pretty sure Ron Paul would disagree with you.

I don't think the TPers are generating the anger, they are simply taking advantage of it. The real anger is that the American people see a Congress refusing to work together to resolve many very critical problems.

This is simply not true.

Are you always making baseless assumptions?

I believe Ron Paul is deeply concerned that the people who made him and others start the movement, are now taking over the Tea Party.

Is Ron Paul not allowed to be concerned about two things at the same time? I think he is clever enough to think about more than just one issue.
