Very cool article!:D

cool, I coined that term "Paulpalooza" about a month ago for a possible musical festival.

But I don't deny others may have been thinking of it too.

If Iowans are suffering under an exodus of businesses from their state, then whatever materials are passed out by Paul supporters should include this info and the source:

"Iowa's listed right up there with glamorous states like New York, California, Hawaii and New Jersey. ... If we just lowered the rates and eliminated the deduction, 6.46% would get us out of the Meathead top-ten list, but thanks to Iowans for Tax Relief, there it is. (Some people say they don't trust the legislature to creep the rates back up. That's where a supermajority for tax increases or a Colorado-style taxpayer bill of rights comes into play). Maybe IFTR will consider changing their name to the more accurate "Iowans for Special Interest Loopholes and High Rates."

P.S.: Iowa's 12% top corporate tax rate is still #1. Thanks, IFTR!

I'd change the wording to make it a bit less "piss on you Ed Failure" in style, of course - make it very matter of fact instead.

This is the EXACT kind of information Iowans should have when making choices that will effect their state.

"Already, thousands of local and national media invitations have been mailed by dynamic campaign communication director Jesse Benton in an attempt to guarantee coverage of Dr. Paul’s views that will equal or eclipse what he would have garnered at the Forum proper. Arrangements have been made to tempt the attendees with hamburgers and hot-dogs, so that local Iowans can hear Dr. Paul’s anti-IRS and pro-growth points of view. Additionally, campaign sources said that Dr. Paul will be appearing on radio programs in the area in advance of the June 30th post-Forum rally. "

Has anybody read this?

The Wall Street Journal bashes the Iowans for Tax Relief for serving special interests.
