Historically corporate taxes always paid for military spending. Corporate tax rate cuts have forced the federal government to borrow manufactured notes from the Federal Reserve to take up the slack.

Add corporate tax revenues and debt borrowings to get 23% of all federal dollars. The military is exactly 23% of federal dollars. This is not a coincidence. And it is not associated with Ron Paul, it’s a fact, look it up.

And calling people names brings you no support.

As far as your FairTax questions, they are all answered thoroughly here:

In 2006 corporate income tax, which Paul will eliminate but we're just playing games here, was 10.1%. Defence spending was 18%. Why you're discussing corporate income tax is beyond me, but the numbers don't work. Why don't you start again with post 167, 2006-the most recent available, or if you want to choose another year, post your figures.

The question I had about the Fair Tax is whether Ron Paul supports it as a remplacment for the income tax, citations please, and, if the income tax is unconstitutional due to not being cited in the Constitution, only an amendment, how the Fair Tax would pass the Paul smell test.

Personally I question whether Paul is a Fair Tax Supporter.

I referred to Paul as Paul is a curmudgeon good for sound bites and nothing more. The classic empty suit. That's a perfectly reasonable assessment of his non-positions. I added that he's irresponsible, and I stand by all of it.

As you demonstrate, there's nothing to back his "positions" up.
