The Washington Times: Ron Paul: Fix IRS by shutting it ‘once and for all’

It's long overdue!

Drudge won't run this because it mentions defense spending (one of his sacred cows)

Boy oh boy, whatta radical sumbitch that Ron Paul character is. He REALLY needs to tone his rhetoric down or the media will eat him for lunch, then we won't ever make any progress!

Rand, we're waiting for you to follow suit.

Rand, we're waiting for you to follow suit.

It appears that Ted Cruz is the heir apparent for this specific issue:

Mr. President, if your #1 priority is fixing the problem, let's abolish the #IRS and ensure it NEVER happens again!

We need to abolish #IRS & make the tax code fairer and flatter. Taxes should fit on a postcard. RT if you agree!

Shut down the Fed while you're at it and Ted's wife will be out of a job

It appears that Ted Cruz is the heir apparent for this specific issue:

I don't trust this congress to tackle the tax code. They only make things much much worse.

Rand, we're waiting for you to follow suit.

He should, establishment publicans may not like it, but the voters would.

End the IRS. Apple agrees.

Only government doesn't agree.
