I liked both Paul and Johnson on the Vetoes. I think Johnson would do it, too.

I wish that Paul had extended his veto threat to anything that doesn't say which specific enumerated power in the constitution authorizes Congress to enact a bill. Paul has repeatedly sponsored the "Enumerated Powers Act" requiring exactly that.

As for the FairTax, I'm for the idea of a consumption tax, but the actual FairTax bill when you read it is a nightmare. There are many constitutional problems with it, and there's a major problem of it being "revenue neutral." We are taxed excessively now. I don't believe we're paying exactly the right amount of total taxes but paying it the wrong way. Thats what the FairTax addresses.
