Congressman and 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was recently awarded an ‘A’ rating for a yearlong voting record of defending American taxpayers. Specifically, the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) conferred its 2011 Taxpayers' Friend Award on the 12-term Congressman from Texas for “consistently voting to reduce the burden on America's taxpayers.” Of the 15 times since 1997 that the NTU has graded Ron Paul on taxpayer friendliness, Dr. Paul received 15 ‘A’ awards.
In its announcement on Wednesday, the NTU notes that it performs a comprehensive analysis of every vote on tax and fiscal policy each year to determine a Member's voting record on issues of importance to taxpayers. This year the NTU compiled an exhaustive 337 votes in the House of Representatives and 234 in the Senate, and just 53 Members of Congress including Dr. Paul received an ‘A’ rating. In the House, Dr. Paul scored in the top four with his colleagues Rep. John Duncan, Jr. (R-TN), Ed Royce (R-CA), and John Campbell (R-CA).

Of course, I'd rather not pay them at all....
