He would say that we need to concentrate on those issues where there is some traction, like auditing the Fed.

He always votes for tax cuts, and votes against the vast majority of spending. He is a committed small-government advocate.

I read somewhere that Milton Friedman was scared to death of the sort of fee we have all been talking about. Why? Because it would be too easy for government to raise money and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ScottT) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/421 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:43:33 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/420/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-420
Webster Tarpley has come out in favor of a Tobin Tax, by which I'm pretty sure he means what we are talking about here.

Ellen Brown has also suggested a Tobin Tax:... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ScottT) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/420 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:21:10 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/392/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-392 Paratracker:

Before I ever heard of APT, I too was smitten with the Fair Tax. APT and the Fair Tax share a lot of the same advantages. They both eliminate the need to file and be under the thumb of the IRS. They both are simple and efficient, and eliminate tax preferences and other distorting qualities. Over time I have come to the point where I see APT as by far the more preferable plan, and here's why:

I recently started a thread here to discuss tax philosophy.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rubicon) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/392 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 15:09:16 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/391/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-391 feeds@yuku.com (paratracker) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/391 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:35:31 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/389/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-389 feeds@yuku.com (wjhermann) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/389 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:31:32 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/388/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-388 Paratracker:

Welcome to the forum. I've been posting here for several years. As such, I would like to comment on the points you make in your last post.

Cash is only a tiny fraction of the total APT tax base, and gets special treatment with APT. There's nothing about APT that keeps capital out of financial institutions. It takes a housing market meltdown to do that. But then there's "the bailout". The fraction of a percent APT tax on inventory... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rubicon) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/388 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:50:28 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/387/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-387 feeds@yuku.com (paratracker) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/387 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:15:23 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/386/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-386 feeds@yuku.com (paratracker) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/386 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:15:10 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/reply/99/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html#reply-99
Libertarians are generally against APT BECAUSE, are you sitting down, 'it isn't visible enough and government could grow without anyone paying attention since the IRS/tax burden pain would be gone'.

I say, life without pain may not be too bad...and I promise to pay attention.

I don't know if Dr. Hermann is in Ron Paul's district, but I find it an interesting coincidence that they're both MD's. Ron Paul is of course philosophically libertarian.

Having read and fully digested the late Murray Rothbard's "For a New Liberty: the Libertarian Manifesto", I think APT goes a long way toward institutionalizing libertarian principles. APT is non-intrusive, i.e., no more IRS (Great username by the way...), and it is almost completely... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rubicon) http://apttax.yuku.com/sreply/98 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:15:36 GMT http://apttax.yuku.com/topic/370/t/Ron-Paul-amp-the-APT.html feeds@yuku.com (NoMoreIRS) http://apttax.yuku.com/topic/370 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 09:52:21 GMT
