I speak to Republicans , Democrates and everyone in between and found a simple thought provoking statement that gets people on track to become Paul voters.

It is as follows.

If you were to sit down and create a country, what would be the first department you would create? The answers vary, but most say defense. I sometime suggest it.
The next would be what? They usually take a while deciding what comes next, but most say treasury. That is the point when you bring the conversation towards sound money.
After that, it is common for people to stop and try and think what would come next. During this moment of quiet thought, I say, "its tough to justify departments knowing that each department means more taxes" That strikes a chord everytime.

I then say how would you justify each department? They usually look confused, but then I say, think "founding fathers". They then say "Constitution!!"

That is when you can go into the actual allowed government departments.

I use economics and the money issue as my #1 talking point IRL.

People are usually shocked to find out the truth about money, if they believe you.
