A Good Video From My Boy Ron

nod:

What I am referring to is a nationally administered flat rate SALES tax! An extra tax collected at the time of purchase on everything purchased by anyone in the country! That means you get to tax thieves, drug lords, prostitutes, gangsters, even illegals - because everyone eats, buys clothes etc...

Such a tax would encourage savings, and because it would be absolutely inescapable - there would be no need for an oversight body (like the IRS) to administer it! In addition, think of how much productivity we would save by doing away with the reams of paperwork that businesses and individuals must confront each year - just to satisfy the IRS! The savings in time, energy and grief alone would be enormous!

Did anyone notice that despite Ron Paul winning the debate, that the major news networks didn't even mention him and instead only talked about Perry and Romney?

For the past 15+ years, the so-called mainstream media has taken it upon itself not to just report the news but to shape and bend it to fit their own political agenda, whenever possible. Ron Paul, despite being a congressman, is not part of the accepted political establishment. Therefore, he is not in bed with the press. Because of this, they seek to marginalize him via the absolute minimum of coverage. I'm sure that they would say, "But after all, if what he had to say was "news worthy", we would cover him more fully". In this case, the term "news worthy" translates to "supporting our agenda". Since RP does not support the liberal media agenda, he's an "out" while Romney and Perry, who do support the liberal media and are part of the political establishment, are "ins". As they would put it, Ron Paul just isn't "house broken".
