I can't say I haven't felt a little teary eyed and wanted to hug someone when he gets a standing ovation for arguing that we should eviscerate the IRS and immediately end over single farm subsidy.
I think Paul represents a really scary reality looming down the road - people are not going to pay taxes in the future. As the middle class keeps losing jobs and the parties keeping trying to soak the upper middle class for more of the tax revenue they can't get from the rich you're going to see a sort of gilded tax revolt. There are already upper middle class people in Pennsylvania refusing to pay astronomical school taxes. God knows how much worse it is in New Jersey, where the taxes are twice ours.
