Paul's "Anti-Washington Campaign"

Click here for the best candidate

As most of us know, Rand Paul has announced his bid for the presidency. In his announcement, Paul called Washington broken and stated many libertarian (good) ideas such as lesser prison sentences for non-violent criminals, congressional term limits, limiting government surveillance, ending most foreign aid, emphasizing individual liberty, closing Guantanamo Bay, and ending the Federal Reserve. But he also wants to increase military spending, which I view as stupid. The language of the BBC article surprises me too, as it contains a lot of negative language. This bad language, which is probably found in American media too, combined with John McCain saying Paul would be a "bad candidate" means he's probably not going to get elected. Oh well.....:(

Personally I like this candidate the best because he is the most libertarian and holds many of the same views and his libertarian father, Ron Paul. But because of his political views, he will most likely be opposed by both Democrats and Republicans.

Many Americans believe that lower income Americans pay too much in taxes

been a while since I've done one of these...

In a recent poll, 45% of Americans think that the lower class pays too much in taxes, while 21% say that they don't pay enough in taxes, and 30% saying they pay the right amount. I really don't know what else to say, cause there's the numbers so....

Personally, I believe that the lower class, and, well, everybody, pays way too much in taxes. We pay too much in taxes because of things like welfare, a massive military, and social security, things that I believe all need to be eliminated, reduced, and privatized, respectively. So, that's that, comment what you think I guess.
