RE :"Someone better let Ron Paul know about this"

An uninspiring moment with Paul was when he was critical of the 9% sales tax claiming he thinks it great that half the country pays no Federal taxes (beyond entitlement and gas) with the rest picking up the tab for the voters endless wish-lists, as if that is a stable situation.

I dont think Paul ever got any significant spending cuts passed in his whole career unlike REAL doers like John Kasich. But he talks big.

Paul hasn't gotten anything significant passed in his entire career. I think the only bills he's authored that were passed were simple statements (like awarding some congressional medal to a baseball player in his district). Phil Gramm once said Paul's bills were so poorly written and lacked any detail as to how, they couldn't even move in committee.
