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