Anti-Tax Ron Paul?

[0zzy]

Paul touts fund growth
Republican Ron Paul said he has raised more than $9 million in the past two months and he predicted his presidential campaign will exceed its $12 million fourth-quarter goal.

"It looks like we can't stay under it," Paul said in an interview that aired yesterday on Bloomberg Television. Paul said organizers expect a fund-raising blitz on Dec. 16 - timed to be on the anniversary of the 1773 Boston Tea Party to highlight Paul's antitax philosophy - to bring in more than the $4.2 million a similar event raised on Nov. 5.

Paul said he has begun spending generously in key states with early nomination contests, including New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada and said he expects to have money to campaign through Feb. 5, when at least 22 states will vote.

Paul called his Republican presidential rivals, including national front-runner Rudy Giuliani, "neoconservatives" whom he couldn't support in the general election should his own bid fail. "They think we're supposed to spread our goodness through force," Paul said.

hahhaha. Spin doctors anyone? "DAMN ANARCHIST AND THEIR ANTI-TAX PHILOSOPHY~!"

anti-tax is the American way.

Pro-tax politicians get clobbered in presidential elections. Just ask Walter Mondale.

Calling Ron Paul anti-tax is a generous compliment insofar as conservatives are concerned. Whether the author meant it to be a compliment or not is irrelevant.

How anyone could be pro tax is beyond me. It's like Larry David and anonymous donating - why give your money to a good cause if you don't get credit? :-D

Many people are pro-tax because they have been conditioned to the nanny state. They think that the more taxes there are the more good we can do. They see government as a savior because as it frivilously wasting the taxpayers money, it throws them a bone every once in a while and makes them think (through conditioning) that the bone is life sustaining.

What's wrong with that? The market that is hitting is Mass and the rest of New England, including NH.

Anti-tax is a big PLUS in NH and in Mass., Carla Howell's inititive to end the state income tax got 45% a couple years ago and has just been resubmitted for 2008. So believe it or not, even in Mass (where the financial conservatives hide in the west) there is a strong anti-tax sentiment.

It's a good label considering who is reading it. :D
