It’s time to take off your MAGA hat, a new Koch-backed ad tells farmers

He said it but I am having troubles finding it. I believe it was a video interview which is making it harder to locate. Something like "I would love to get rid of the income tax entirely but you have to deal with the problem of government spending first- otherwise you are going to make things worse."

All of your statements have been out of context.

Yes, Ron Paul believes that spending is the "bigger" issue and particularly in front a Republican audience he likes to take the time to educate fiscally minded people about reducing government spending... however, he has said MANY times that he will ALWAYS vote for a tax cuts everything else equal because the income tax is the most insidious tax.

 

[dannno]

Even in this segment about how the Trump tax cuts need to have spending cuts, he says, "the talk on tax is important, we should do whatever we can to lower them" and then goes on to say how important spending cuts are.



But there are other times where he has been specifically asked, if he would vote for a tax cut if it didn't accompany any spending cuts - his answer is always "yes" to a tax cut.

He called debt an insidious tax too.

Thus, all government spending is in essence a form of taxation. Therefore, cutting income and other taxes without cutting spending merely replaces one type of taxation with another. Instead of directly paying for big government via income taxes, deficit spending means citizens will be hit with an increase in the inflation tax. This tax, imposed on the people with the Federal Reserve's monetization of debt, is the worst form of tax because it is both hidden and regressive.

[TD="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"]There Is No Such Thing As A "Fair Tax"

6/22/2016

By Ron Paul

The income tax is the worst kind of tax because it's based on the assumption that the government owns you and all of your income. Whether the rate is 1% or 99%, the principle behind the tax is the same. Instead of bickering about what the rate should be, we should be attacking the philosophy that underpins this nefarious tax. I discuss on Fox Business:​

He has called income tax the most insidious tax...

mine is more betterer!

So he doesn't like taxes and he doesn't like debt. He said both were the worst kinds of taxes. Agreed.

Do you disagree that Ron Paul would vote for an income tax cut without any spending cuts?

He has said he would vote for an income tax cut without accompanying spending cuts many times. Going through all of Ron Paul's videos in the last 11 years to find it is not easy, but he has said it many times regardless. Do you think I'm making it up?

Would you be willing to stop posting here if you are proven wrong?

 

[Swordsmyth]

Ron wanted tax cuts offset by spending cuts to avoid increasing the debt. Trump wants tax cuts on top of more spending. Just like George W. Bush. Both led us to $1 trillion annual deficits.

Paul I know; but who are ye?

Yes, but he has said many times that he would get rid of the income tax or cut the income tax without accompanying spending cuts. Do you deny this?

Let me make a correction:

Ron Paul said that the income tax is the "worst" tax, while the inflation tax is the most "insidious". The income tax is still "worse" than the inflation tax, however the inflation tax gets its status as "most insidious" because it is a hidden tax. But it is not "worse" overall than the income tax, it is just more sneaky, according to Ron Paul.
