#1: The only politician that stood up against the NSA... Author: PaulS, Location: South-Eastern Washington - the StatePosted: Thu Jun 18, 2015 4:46 pm ---- The only representative that stood up for the first and fourth amendment protections for Americans has a new job - if we give it to him.
From Rand Paul;
Fellow Conservative:
I'm ready to drive a stake through the heart of the IRS -- and trash all 70,000 pages of our federal government's outdated, confusing tax code.
Today, I'm announcing my Fair and Flat tax plan that I will make the centerpiece of my first term as President of the United States -- a tax plan that puts over $2 TRILLION back in Americans' pockets, creates at least 1.4 million new jobs and turbo-charges our economy in the process.
You can already hear the shrieks and howls coming from the special interests lobby in Washington, D.C. over my announcement.
For far too long, Washington, D.C. bureaucrats and Big Government politicians have believed your money is theirs -- and they can spend it better than everyday hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs.
I disagree.
In fact, I believe if the Washington Machine's tax-and-spend policies aren't stopped, our economy will slide further down the slow-growth rut of the last decade.
That's why I'm proposing to put the Washington Machine on a much-needed diet by enacting the boldest and biggest tax cut in American history.
If passed into law, my tax plan would:
>>> End the workers tax: I will end the FICA payroll tax, the largest tax for many working Americans. It goes to zero.
>>> Eliminate the headaches and complication in filing federal taxes by allowing every taxpayer to file a simple, one-page return with a low and fair tax rate of 14.5%, saving American families over $2 TRILLION in the first 10 years;
>>> End corporate welfare and special tax breaks, eliminating the army of lobbyists and tax lawyers gaming the system. That means no more mom and pop small businesses paying 40% of their income in taxes, while big corporations -- armed with armies of slick lawyers -- pay zero;
>>> Provide a real economic stimulus to our economy by exploding the GDP by almost 10% over the first 10 years.
If you and I want to finally restore the prosperity that should be every Americans' birthright, this is how we'll do it.
The truth is, Washington, D.C. doesn't have a "revenue" problem. It has a spending problem.
Just since President Obama took office, government tax revenue has hit a record shattering $3.1 trillion. Yet the Washington Machine's spending continues to push our nation deeper in debt.
As President, I will fight to cut spending with every ounce of energy in my body, including passing a Balanced Budget Amendment.
But the best thing we can do to get out of debt and balance our budget is to put more Americans back to work.
According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation's analysis, my plan would create at least 1.4 million new jobs -- creating new wealth and tax revenue to pay down our debt.
I understand my plan is bold.
But I'm not interested in nibbling around the edges of "reforming" Washington.
I'm running for President to flip Washington upside-down on its head and Defeat the Machine.
I proved I can do it with the support of good folks like you when I stood up to the NSA.
But now it's time to unleash prosperity in America by putting more money back in Americans' pockets -- and putting Washington on a diet.
The special interest groups in Washington dependent on corporate welfare already considered me "Enemy #1."
And now that I've released a tax plan eliminating EVERY special interest loophole in our tax code, the special interest lobby is going to double-down on their smear campaign they've launched against me and my message.
But I'm not running for their approval. I'm running to take our government back.
I'm asking you to stand with me.
In Liberty,
Rand Paul

Good luck at it Rand Paul.
