Overall, I like the sounds of it. However Sarbanes/Oxley is absolutely crippling…but it provides transparency at the cost of extra(extraneous sometimes!) work. I’d be all for a very reduced version of it, however. ---

I really like this part: > - Reduce Overseas Military Commitments. Our bases and troops should be on our soil. > o It’s time to stop subsidizing our trading partners in Europe, Japan and South Korea. > > - Freeze Non-Defense, Non-Entitlement Spending at Current Levels > o I vote against all bloated, pork laden spending bills and will veto them as president. I mean, it’s OUR money, why is that even a big deal? Some people would have an aneurysm though when their spending kitty to help their friends and pay back favors got capped. ---

Did you see the debate last night, where Dr. Paul asked McCain, who was going on and on about how much of a economist he is earlier in the debate, what he thought of that Presidents council on financial whatever and he had NO FUCKING CLUE what Paul was even talking about? 🤣 ---

I know absolutely nothing about Ron Paul, but I do like what I read here. I will have to do some more reseach into the candidates, but it seems like he has some sound tax ideas. I also do not agree with repealing the SOX regulations. Even though it has been expensive to implement, it DOES protect investors and helps to prevent companies from deceptively reporting their finances (and it creates jobs for us accountants ❌ ) ---

I like this one… [http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm](http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm) It shows their voting record and intersperses some statements they’ve made as well. Basically tracks their actual record, which you can then compare to what they’re spewing from their mouth today. After reading up on Dr. Paul, check out what he was saying in 1988…sounds…nearly identical, but the debt, tax, and spending numbers are much larger now.

Since Congress seems to like to group things together for voting (even if they aren’t related), they should package each tax elimination proposal with a corresponding reduction in spending. After all, less money in has to be coupled with less spending. ---

I won’t even comment on eliminating SOX. Eliminate taxes on capital gains? So rich people can get richer, and the government has no funds to help out the less fortunate. Are you guys fucking kidding me? This is the Ron Paul disaster, not revolution. Wow, I am really discouraged by his stance on things now. Thank god he doesn’t stand a chance of making the Republican nomination!!! ---

No, it would be so the people who are smart and responsible enough to invest their money (and actually make capital gains) can put their money back into the market instead of the government taking it. And don’t get me started on all of the stupid, pointless, wastefull “wellfare” programs that the government over-funds. Our government could be so much more finacially healthy if they cut some of the pointless wellfare programs that perpetuate the wellfare cycle. Instead of just throwing money at people who do nothing for themselves, maybe they should put money into the wellfare programs that actually benefit people in the long run?
