So, as you can see, I'm both a fan of Ron Paul, and The Fair Tax.
But does Ron Paul Support the Fair tax?
Actually, it appears that there is not a clear answer to this. He has suggested that he would vote for the Fair Tax if brought to a vote on the house floor, but he does not think its the best possible solution either.
I can understand his position actually. The fair tax would not reduce government income. Those reductions would have to come later.
One of the main problems I have with the Fair Tax, is that it is inclusive. I want people to see how much tax they pay.
For me, the situation is simple. I do not support all of Ron Paul's positions, but that doesn't mean I can't support him. He may indeed be the President that would sign the Fair Tax law, something no candidate (except Mike Gravel) is offering to make a priority, and I'm sure he'd be more likely to force Congress to cut spending than any other major candidate in the race.
Ron Paul is the best chance we have to start to take our government back. If that means the Fair Tax has to wait another 5 years, I'll make that trade and not think twice.
Of course, both would be nice
