I have been a big fan of Ron Paul for some time. Anyone who wants to abolish the IRS and the awful income tax is someone I can get behind. I am a big fan of the Fair Tax, but Ron Paul takes this a step further by eliminating the income tax by drastically reducing the size of our federal income tax.
I never understood much about some of his other positions and philosophy until I read his new book The Revoloution.
It is less than 200 pages, and gets right to the main points. Our federal government has run amok, and the Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats. The Republican party has been lead (myself included) into a stupid mess in Iraq and in other areas.
The way to resolve this is simple - go back to the constitution. This means a drastic reduction in the federal government, especially the president. This means a reduction in the US military where we have troops in over 130 countries. This means reduction entitlement programs at home and returning power to local governments.
This book gave me a lot to think about, and hopefully other people will enjoy it and start taking our leaders to task.
