Paul is my man. That being said, when it comes down to it, I might vot for Giuliani now that he has come out for the flat tax. People don't realize the inefficiencies caused by the tax code. The economy would take off if the flat tax was passed.
Ron Paul? He has about as much chance of being elected POTUS as Osama Bin Obama.
Oh, don't be too taken in by Giuliani's sudden conversion to the Flat Tax (which he utterly disparaged in 1996): "Mr. Giuliani said that if elected president, he would like to change over to a flat tax, but acknowledged that may be impractical..." Giuliani may be the first candidate in history to accept an endorsement while castrating his supporter's key issue in the same speech.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul's Political Director should be talking to David Polyansky (Chief Operating Officer of FairTax.org) and Americans for Fair Taxation today regarding Ron Paul's support of the FairTax and the complete abolition of the Income Tax.
Let's just say I did some "networking". ONWARDS and UPWARDS!
The only way to simplfy the tax code is to get rid of those who profit by making it complicated--the IRS. The flat tax doesn't do that. The Fair Tax is the only plan that eliminates the IRS and the ability of politicians to manipulate the tax code to benefit their campaign contributors.
