Paul opposes "over- regulation and taxation"
These are not constitutional questions, having been written into the constitution, amended into the constitution, and settled in the early 20th century by the Supreme Court.
So, there can be no constitutinal principle on which to base these arguments - are we to go back to the delegation doctrine, sanctity of contract, private charity, and Trust robber barrons?
Worse, politically, Paul equates imperial and military government with welfare state government. This is outrageous on its face as a matter of law and policy.
This country faces a crisis - we are on the verge of excpanded middle east war, peak oil, global warming, and economci collapse.
To jeopardize a presidential election with the likes on Ron Paul is far worse and more irresponsible than third party Naderism (and I agreed with Nader in his recent debate with Robert Scheeer at the Nation forum). Far, far worse.
Shocking column, Glen, just schocking.
