DC seems to keep saying such amazing things. I laugh at them till I remember that they are running the country, then I start to CRY! Can they start a group in DC called PA. Yes, politicians anonymous. Those folks need some help and a big dose of common sense.

Dr. Paul was illustrating the fact that the money isn’t the government’s; it’s the individual taxpayer’s. It’s not a re-election trick. It’s Paul’s way of trying to work within the system to slowly erode the income tax.

Free markets don’t necessarily mean “free stuff” for all. Right?

Thanks for sharing this little pearl of wisdom Jay…

I think Ron Paul's problem is that he's such a purist that he says things without really thinking. Far from being calculated, I think he is so infatuated with his own crazy thought process that he will say almost anything regardless of the consequences. I don't know which statement was dumber, the permanent tax credit or his remarks advocating that corporations should be able to ignore civil rights laws.

do yourself a favour, don't vote to this guys again! and im totally agree with "Having said all that, I disagree with him, and I can’t explain the natural disaster credit, which does carry the stench of rotting political pork. When you move into an area prone to natural disasters, and these are well documented by now, you must be prepared to shoulder those risks yourselves."

thanks

I think what Paul is doing is working within a broken system to allow markets to adjust naturally. IOW, a permanent first time home buyers tax credit will not create a short-lived feeding frenzy, like we just saw, but will create a business as usual atmosphere. His comment about using your own money makes sense when you look at it like that. People, thinking people that is, understand that taxes are our own money, but a quick tax credit is often presented as a govt tax credit. That kinda sounds like OPM, which is a stupid game that politicians play.

Having said all that, I disagree with him, and I can't explain the natural disaster credit, which does carry the stench of rotting political pork. When you move into an area prone to natural disasters, and these are well documented by now, you must be prepared to shoulder those risks yourselves.

"And I’ll bet you $10 that in some re-election stump speech he points out that he tried to permanently extend the home buyer tax credit"

You have to read Ron Paul to understand his motivations, Jay. He serially attacks the income tax from different angles. The key phrase that tells me this is "with their own money". Ron Paul says this because he rejects the theory that the State has a claim on people's income. Had he NOT said that phrase, I'd suggest you were right. Watch for that language should he use this in campaign speeches. If it's absent, you're worst suspicions are correct.

"OK, so I suppose technically a permanent tax credit isn’t “government funded”. It’s taxpayer funded. You know, by you, and me, and our children and grandchildren."

You're absolutely correct UNLESS…you reject the Sixteenth Amendment (like Ron Paul does)
