Actually, I've never heard of Ron Paul's stance against taxes all together. Clearly, there is a need for taxes to ensure that the government continue to function, even if it is limited. And, from what I can see in Wikipedia he might support a national sales tax.
Paul has stated: "I agree on getting rid of the IRS, but I want to replace it with nothing, not another tax. But let's not forget the inflation tax." *In other statements, he has permitted consideration of a national sales tax as a compromise if the tax need cannot be reduced enough*. He has advocated that the reduction of government will make an income tax unnecessary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul#Lower_taxes -Lance On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 9:01 AM, Joel Brauer <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually this looks more like a fair tax bill.
