A tax cut, by contrast, simply means government takes less from an individual, company, or industry. When government takes less from you, it has not given you anything; it merely has harmed you less. This is the critical distinction that has been lost in the endless, tired debate about tax policy.

Ping!

Too bad he is not in the WH instead of Obama.

Ron Paul is an impostor, he is a tool of the left who speaks in half truths and makes statements that no true conservative would, while voting for legislation that no constitutionalists would even consider.

[RINOS ARE RADICALS]

He voted for the Obama tax extension with all the additional spending?

[Bokababe]

What he doesn't mention that is relevant to this, is that when taxes are high on the wealthy, the wealthy hide that money by investing in tax-free government bonds thereby taking the money out of the economy to avoid the tax. So via bonds or taxes government gets to use the wealthy's money, instead of the wealthy spending it on goods and services provided by the middle class.

In short by raising taxes on the wealthy, the gov still channels all that money their way -- instead of the money getting channeled in ways that enrich the rest of us.

Of course the bill passed last week did contain some actual spending, mostly in the form of an extension of unemployment benefits for another 13 months. The total spending in the bill amounted to about $60 billion.

Pure BS, That is just about what the Grassely screw the tax payer will spend in one year.

Tax cuts are irrelevant. If anything, we need to RAISE taxes. The only thing that counts is CUTTING SPENDING!

How sad that Ron Paul, the most libertarian guy in Washington, doesn’t understand that. We’re DOOMED! :-(

How is it rabs that you can despise RINOs and still buddy up with ron paul? That kook endorses code pinko fags and espouses all their flag burning traitor BS. He has a large following of scorched earth libertarian (liberal) dope, sodomy and abortion activists who march lockstep with the hard core leftists. And he would seek advise from Kookcinich on every move, wouldn’t surprise me the least bit if he picked dennis the menace for a running mate.
