National Taxpayers Union interviewed on WCHS 58Live; Republican Ron Paul rates 2nd best on their list

NTU just did interview on WCHS Radio 58Live (Charleston, WV) in regard to Congress' new oil taxation bills.

He called attention to Congressman Flake's record, but did not mention that republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul ranks number 2 in their list of Congressmen they consider good for taxpayers!

JUST ANOTHER REASON (like his opposition to North American Union and the NAFTA Super highway mentioned by Jerome Corsi in a recent interview, and other issues on this site) TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL IN THE PRIMARY, INSTEAD OF THE BIG GOVERNMENT LEADING NEO-REPUBLICANS!

In regard to the issue of government taxation on gas at the pump this Congressman sponsored a bill to repeal federal gas taxes:

Paul sponsored an amendment to the IRS code:

[Supports a House resolution] to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the 1993 4.3-cent increases in highway motor fuel taxes.

Source: House Resolution Sponsorship 01-HR1694 on May 3, 2001

It is also worth noting that it is impossible to erect a police state (under guise of security) upon either the laws of the constitution or the principles of limited government with low taxes.
