So is mandatory Employer provided medical insurance, and employer 401k matching. That doesn’t mean it’s any less of a load on employers.

Employers have to match SS contributions too. It’s all a bunch of nanny-state nonsense.

The libertarian stance is to get government out of the economy. Federally mandated programs that force the private sector to set aside money is no better than a tax, just slightly more efficient because the gov doesn’t get their filthy hands on it.

Dr. Paul wants to eliminate the Department of Education. So in a sense “he,” at the federal level, wants to have nothing to do with education funding. In fact, the government has no authorized role in education in the Constitution, which he holds as his stance.

Ron Paul 0wn3d the ridiculous planted Fox question about electability.
