23. I still beg to differ. They all suck, but Ron Paul is the biggest of the bunch
1) He’s content to let genocide, wars of aggression, and human rights violations occur abroad with nothing more than a “moral statement” from the U.S.

2) Ron Paul wants to end all paper money and revert to a monetary system based on gold, which would make our nation the only government in the world to use the Gold Standard.

3) Ron Paul believes that neither the federal government nor the state government should prohibit prayer in public schools. Does this mean I can paste pictures of Vishnu all along school walls? Should teachers now allow statues of the Buddha outside the school? I wonder how long it takes until Jesus is our new national mascot.

4) Ron Paul wants to eliminate the IRS and the income tax. Sounds great right? Well, so does free ice cream and new cars for everyone, but that doesn't mean they're realistic ideas. The US. government needs money, and if you abolish the income tax, they're going to take it by other means. Only instead of taking fair amounts from people based on how much they make, the government is going to increase the sales tax. In case you weren't following, this means Ron Paul's plans will benefit the rich. Please don't shoot yourselves in the foot, don't vote for a man who only wants to help the rich. He just wants to greaten the divide between the poor and the rich, which is already overwhelming. By the way, he also wants to eliminate the departments of education, energy, homeland security, and emergency management. We're struggling to bring order to our chaotic nation as it is, don't hinder our efforts by destroying the government. Ron Paul is either an unrealistic crazy idealist or another corrupted politician. Either way, I'm not voting for him, no matter how much his internet supporters spam his name.
