@dunivant66 The government makes 45% of its money from the income tax. Less than half.
2/3 vote of Congress is all it takes to end the Fed and IRS, then hand everyone back their unpaid principal so we can put productive income producers back to work. To anyone using an economic argument, economics is only a jargon to justify any financial position. In other words, it is the art of B. S.ing people out of their money. It’s time to flush our Congress like the dirty toilet bowl it has become since 1913.
I agree with the fact we need to correct how we do our taxes. However I like what Donald Trump says about it. We need to tax China first big which would not only start to pull us out of debt but would essentially start bringing jobs back to the US.
Ron Paul is out of his mind!
Please run!!!!!! Ron Paul 2012
just plain truthful logic….beautiful to hear and saddening how little you hear it. got 2 have this man as president and i say this as a uk citizen, i wish he were our prime minister!
@draco4506 Maybe you need to learn to use Google a little better, or perhaps read the latest edition of Macroeconomics by McConnel. If you’ve taken more than one economic classes, that obviously proves my point, that you’re too incompetent to understand. Now why don’t you go back and take more classes, moron.
@Zenome Basic economics. I had several classes in economics. I never once saw that taxes imposed by the Federal Gov were built in stabilizers. I have tried to research what you said, I can’t find anything. Please direct me to a source so I can follow up on this.
@Zenome The recent crisis resulted from Liberal policies that came from both the Demicans and Republicrats. Add to that. The people of this country have on average moved left a little. Became a little more liberal and irresponsible. Not wanting to be accountable for their financial actions. I could go on forever. YOu really need to understand States rights. You also need to understand more on how the Fed Gov has take power away from the States.
@Zenome Hmmm, the tax system is being a built in stabilizer? I have studied the Great Depression. I have never read anything that mentions that due to the lack of a Fed Inc Tax. This resulted in the Great Depression. Look at the recent economic crisis. I would have to call a mild depression. Last time I checked we have an insane Fed Inc Tax Code. Maybe if they taxed everyone at say 75%. We would never see another financial crisis. What you are saying makes no sense.
@Zenome You need to read the US Constitution and why and how it came about. Also whose power was it supposed to limit? Ron Paul has only gone after the IRS which is a Fed Gov entity. He has never mentioned any State Gov taxing agency. In fact, States can tax or do anything they want to. In essence, their powers could be unlimited. With that said. If a State starts to abuse the citizenry. Those abused will go to another State. Thus, tax revs will drop in the State doing the abuse.
Ron Paul 2012!!! Lets post comments and video’s like these to spread the message starting now so this great man can take the lead in 2012!!!
@TheRebelpreacher Apparently English is not your first language.
Tax systems is meant to be the built-in-stabilizers in the economy. Which is essentially there to prevent financial disasters, possibly more severe than the great depression. Ron Paul’s assertion that the government’s main objective to control the will of the people is just plain absurd. Ron’s fiscal policy is one-sided, it does not take into account the inflationary effects of society. Ron Paul, please review your basic economics, Sir.

the justice system is a business
taxes weren’t even an issue until the gov’t came to the masses and said “we need to tax you to fund the war. This is to fund the war and is not permanent”. That was several decades ago. Taxes have not gone away. And to make matters worse, the gov’t has totally mismanaged the tax income and used it to fund wars. Taxation needs to end on a federal level. There’s nothing wrong with a “state” tax. Even libertarians would agree. More than half of gas prices is taxation alone.
