Title: Who is your favorite 2016 canadidate and why is it Rand Paul? Post by: funtotry on April 28, 2015, 10:16:15 PM Based Rand Paul is the ONLY candidate to accept campaign donations in bitcoin, if he actually USES the currency, imagine what kind of good policies he will give us. Other than bitcoin he has some good policies, a 17% flat income tax for everyone (HUGE decrease for most brackets), giving everyone a 5-30% instant raise on their wages pretty much.
Title: Re: Who is your favorite 2016 canadidate and why is it Rand Paul? Post by: Chef Ramsay on May 02, 2015, 10:35:48 PM One of the things I like most about Rand is his offering of economic freedom zones to distressed areas, namely inner city areas which will help out the poorest of the poor.
Quote a. Reduce the Individual Income tax to a single, flat rate of 5 percent. The individual income tax rate not only taxes individual wage earners, but also taxes small businesses. More than 75 percent of small businesses are organized as pass-through entities (businesses which pass along income directly to the individual, thus get taxed at the individual income tax rates). According to the Tax Foundation, small businesses organized as sole proprietorships in states like Kentucky and Michigan have a top marginal tax rate above 45 percent; in California as high as 52 percentii. A lower tax rate provided to Economic Freedom Zone areas will significantly encourage business expansion. b. Reduce the Corporate Income tax to a single, flat rate of 5 percent. The U.S. corporate income tax rate is among the highest in the world. Countries like Spain, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland have tax rates at 30 percent or less – and one of our largest international competitors, China, has a corporate tax rate of just 25 percentiii. Even our closest neighbor, Canada, is outcompeting us with a tax rate of only 15 percentiv. We need to allow U.S. business to better compete internationally, and reducing the corporate rate from the current 35 percent to a low rate of five percent for businesses in economically depressed areas will allow those businesses to expand and compete globally. c. Reduce the payroll tax by 2 percent for the employer, and 2 percent for the employee. There is an oft-cited document by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation highlighting the statistic that 47 percent of all U.S. households pay no federal income tax. This fact is true, but is not the entire story. All workers still pay the federal payroll tax – and for many of these households, it is their largest tax liability. In order to encourage employers to hire more employees in blighted areas we should allow the employer to reduce the amount of payroll tax they pay per employee. In addition, allowing low-to-middle- income families to keep more of their hard earned money will help increase their standard-of-living. Suspend the capital gains tax. This proposal allows any individual that owns stock or tangible assets that are located within the areas deemed “Economic Freedom Zones” to reduce their long-term capital gains tax rate to zero. This will reduce capital costs and encourage greater investment in business and real estate in these areas. And that's just to name a few of what this plan does. Here's the full deal: http://www.paul.senate.gov/files/documents/EconomicFreedomZones.pdf (http://www.paul.senate.gov/files/documents/EconomicFreedomZones.pdf) This would leave a billion dollars back in the city of Detroit over a decade by them just keeping more of their money and growing businesses already in existence as an example. As these bankrupt areas start to revive it'll show that freer markets and capitalism are the causes and this will be called for to expand across the country and permanently put a stake in the heart of progressivism once and for all. I could go on and on about his other stances like pro-privacy/civil liberties by reigning in the NSA but I'll just stick with this as no other major candidate has ideas anywhere remotely close to Rand's cause the rest are just distractions. I like Cruz but he's too much of a war hawk. Title: Re: Who is your favorite 2016 canadidate and why is it Rand Paul?

Post by: Westin Landon Cox on May 03, 2015, 08:53:50 PM I'm a fan of Rand Paul. I'd like it if he were more libertarian, but he's probably about as libertarian as someone can be and still be considered a serious candidate.
I doubt he'll get the nomination, but if he does I'll vote for him. I'll consider it miracle if he were to also win in the general election.

I'd like it if he were more libertarian, but he's probably about as libertarian as someone can be and still be considered a serious candidate. He is running under Republican and under the federal general elections I believe there can only be either republican or democrat, no room for independants like libertarian like is offered in most states. So he has to change his policies just a bit to win under a Republican name instead of under his Independant Libertarian stance.I doubt he'll get the nomination, but if he does I'll vote for him.

Post by: funtotry on May 11, 2015, 02:10:48 AM The media has really been throwing Rand Paul under the bus. I was watching fox the other day and on The Factor, there was a list of the 4 top candidates against hillary. There was marco rubio, jeb bush, and ted cruz I believe, they were listed from best to worst on the top of the chart, but at the bottom, rand paul had the BEST chance against hillary but they put him on the bottom. They are being very subtle and trying to not let him win. Same with his father, they never gave him any time at the debates.

Considering that snake O'Reiley, he's the den of vipers on Fox that is there to dismiss Rand or to belittle him to the max. I hope he rots in hell for it. But the rest of the shows are decent towards Rand which is good thus far. The pretending of ignorance of Rand is something that shall not go on considering the other hosts know him and are more courteous towards him. BOR is the keynote POS on the station but I'd say that many are seeing him for the shithead he is.Title: Re: Who is your favorite 2016 canadidate and why is it Rand Paul?

A 30% raise on a 95% devalued currency? Lol. Americans always trying to make excuses for why they should like the most fashionable boot stomping their face in. Gotta love it. "Please master, I wish for you to treat me better. I love calling you master, now let me model myself after you subconsciously" Anyway, Rand isn't the worst guy, but why are we still stuck trying to lend our favor to people who still push administrative corporate law? Haven't we had enough of this communism/aka/technocracy? |
