[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Is a military a constitutionally authorized expense? Yes, so we should not get rid of the Navy, nor did I say we should."

I didn't read anything into it. You do away with income tax and don't have a national sales tax. You rely on tarrifs and import taxes to raise federal revenue, you have defacto given up our military because you can't raise the revenue to fund most of the federal government. Keep in mind, this is what Ron Paul (your candidate) wants. To raise federal revenue by import taxes and tarrifs. Hence why I said it's 19th century thinking because that's what we did before we had the income tax. There was a short time during the Civil War when we had an income tax.

No seriously, stop reading things into my statements. You aren’t very good at it. Ron Paul is most certainly NOT my candidate.
