So Paul's plan is to eliminate the income tax the wealthy pay, but keep the regressive SS tax the working poorer pay.
I can see why rich folks would love Paul. Leona Helmsley's fantasy come true.
And I can see why others call him a whacko.
You don't seem to know very much about the man at all. Earlier you thought he favored tariffs, which at this point ANYONE who has an opinion about him ought to know is NOT true, and now you think he favors SS tax? He advocates allowing people to opt out of SS altogether for the very reason that he disagrees with the system in principle.
If you disagree with him disagreeing with it, that's fine. But before you go getting cozy in a thread devoted to Ron Paul, with the intention of flaming him, you probably ought to know what you're talking about.
He was the one talking about the good old days in the 1913 when the Govt got its revenue from tariffs.
So where does Paul plan to get revenues? Seems like a simple question I've asked a few times but I'm only get dancing and prancing.
Another blatant misrepresentation. I'm a supporter of free trade, and not the bastardized free trade we get with our "free trade" agreements, but genuine free trade. No where did I say tariffs were part of the "good ol' days."
