Bill Bennett show "says" they'll be talking about RP on MTP

[wgadget]

Next caller:

Flat tax, fair tax, and RP. You can't abolish the 16th amendment, you need some replacement. Fair tax will say it's 23% and that's the law. The IRS will disappear with the fair tax. Host says laws can be changed. Caller says you need 2/3 to change it. Host is skeptical of politicians toying with tax rates, says they'll raise tax rate.

More fair tax. Likes it for its transparency. ???

How did this turn into a fair tax discussion?

Okay, back on.

I wonder how the HOST plans on reducing the size of govt? He doesn't seem to have any good ideas of his own.

He's doing a review now.

Next caller, Dave.

Fair tax again..sheesh. RP said he would sign Fair Tax but favors NO tax above all.

Policing the world doctrine. We have to choose : superpower (nebulous) vs. being a Constitutional republic following the rule of law.

Host says these are not mutually excusive. Ex: sweden, norway, etc. Say they do a fine job doing things for their people.

Caller: Who defines our role as a superpower? Says it's not constitutional to police the world. All for freedom for other countries, but says founding fathers never wanted this. Says he cares about other countries, but not enough to sacrifice his son's arms, legs, or life.

Hosts asks if he supported leaving Viet Nam. Caller says no. Says he doesn't think anyone would invade us with 300 million armed citizens here.

GREAT CALL!

Thanks for the play by play, wgadget. Some of us at work aren't permitted streaming audio/video!

Funny how Glenn Beck acted like Ron Paul being on his show would be the best thing in the world as far as promoting Ron Paul, but it barely seemed to make a dent and nobody noticed. Tim Russert made no such pleas or promises and Ron Paul's appearance there is creating news and debate all around. Just shows how irrelevant Glenn Beck really is.

To be fair, I doubt Glenn Beck would claim his show has more of an impact than Meet the Press.

Next caller says RP may not be speaking to Rep leaders, but he sure is speaking to average Joes like him!

He says RP is saying, are we abiding by the Constit?

Host talking about P buchanan, says can we afford to be Isolationist? Caller says he's not saying that, he's saying we should deal with our own business, not others'. We have no more american corporations that are willing to stand up for america.

The end.

This is Keynesian thinking and is totally wrong, but oh well?

It is not wrong. Right now we are paying our troops and they are spending it overseas.
