Nah, this country has been turning Communist/Socialist for the past say... 40 some years, maybe more than that. Thanks a bunch, FDR!
BTW, Ron Paul would be my kind of canditate. However, like Buchanan (also my kind of person of Prez.), he has no realistic chance of becoming Prez. There is another candidate that called for the abolishion of the IRS, but now I cant remember his name. Talk about having the air being sucked of the room with so many candidates! I think there are only 2 Republican candidates that stand to be electable in the general election, and they would be Guilliani (my mayor! Lived in NYC) and Ronmey (my Gov'na! Moved to MA)
If my memory serves me correctly, he would not fit well with the Libertarian Party since he is big on border enforcement. I think the Libertarian Party's platform is more open borders? I dont remember.
Speaking of IRS, I think the 1913(?) Supreme Court ruling on the IRS was and still is a bad ruling. Even though its now the settled law of the land, the entity and mechanism for which the IRS exists and operates, I believe, is not only unconstitutional, but anti-constitutional. It is basically a government sanctioned, legalized, money laundering and racketeering front for crooks, namely the politicians and their legislative agenda. It is not to say the government doesnt have the right to tax is citizens, because it does. However the IRS reminds me of another government intervention that was meant for one thing but ended up becoming something else: Affirmative Action.
So much for the lesson-supposedly-learn "Taxation Without Representation".
