His appearance on MTP today was interesting as his speeches/interviews always are (at least to me).
To see someone so reasonably discuss our folly in Iraq and the Bush Administration's assault on the Constitution (not to mention admitting to having called Bush a "bum," Reagan a "failure," and saying he didn't vote for Bush in 2004 because Bush lied) is so refreshing, particularly when they call themsevelves a Republican.
But to hear him go on about getting rid of the income tax, which is not only a ridiculous idea unless you want economic inequality in this country to increase even more than it has under Bush, but also involves the leap of faith that Congress would ever do such a thing (by a Congressman no less), gets annoying.
I think we should get rid of all exemptions and have four tiered system to make doing one's taxes simple, save untold manpower hours and make sure the rich pay their fair share, but even that will never happen (well, maybe when accountants and tax lawyers stop having lobbyists and campaign contributions).
Get rid of the income tax? It's as naive as it is stupid.
Paul also voted for the "Human Liife Amendment" to outlaw abortion and talks of changing the 14th Amendment (children of immigrants born here would no longer be citizens automatically to Paul). Not very libertarian positions, or ones that provide more liberty in general.
In any case, I guess I'll end where I began. I do like to listen to Paul on Iraq and Bush, as he is so clear and courageous unlike even too many Democrats. Too bad some of his other positions are loony toons.

For as much as bravenewfilms likes to attack fox news, they sure do act a lot like them. They're just as good at twisting stories as Bill O'Reilly is, only they twist left while fox twists right.
