Bob Barr

I like Bob Barr, enough to say that i am considering a vote for him in the upcoming election. This guy seems like he has more balls than the other three canidates combined.(This is including Hillary Clintons massive Huevo's)

I can equate all of these things to one simple thing- Bob Barr gives a damn. I think this guy really wants to do some political good instead of just being the next name in a long list in the national archive.

Bob Barr is good on the issues to me and i'll tell you why. I hate socialists. Give me the name of a capitalist country that became totalitarian. Your rights begin with the free market, and this guy is completely right (to me) about what we should be doing for America's economy.

Here is what Bob-o says on government spending on his website:

Government spending at all levels is out of control. Most Americans understand the problem of “earmarks,” commonly used by pork-minded congressmen to buy votes. But while earmarks are an outrageous abuse of the taxpayer’s money, they account for a very small percentage of federal spending. Over the past decade, total government spending (state, local and federal) has increased from $2.9 trillion to an astonishing $5.1 trillion in 2008. The $3.1 trillion federal budget submitted by President Bush for next year was greater than the combined 1998 spending of the federal government, all 50 states and over 87,000 local governments.

The federal government must take the lead in making significant cuts in spending. Focusing on earmarks risks distracting attention from the broader problem of a government wildly wasting the money of hard-working Americans. Tens of billions of dollars in corporate welfare — essentially aid to dependent corporations — should be eliminated. Largesse for middle- and upper-income Americans, particularly so-called “entitlement” programs, must be cut. Billions in so-called defense spending, which protects America’s populous, prosperous allies rather than Americans, must be eliminated.

Cutting spending would allow America to implement real tax reform. Our goal should be to reduce both the tax burden on Americans and the intrusion in their lives resulting from IRS enforcement of the income tax. One of the best approaches would be to adopt some form of a consumption tax, like a national sales tax, replacing the Internal Revenue Service and all federal income taxes as well as payroll taxes.

It is not enough to eliminate the income tax. We also must repeal the 16th amendment, which authorizes Congress to levy an income tax. Without doing so, there would be an ever-present danger that a future Congress would attempt to bring back the income tax on top of the Fair Tax or any other alternative to the income tax.

Bet no one read that. Anyway, its good shit. Plus he's pro-life and against the nanny state, guess what, ME TOO.
