Huckabee vs. Paul: Taxes

MR. HUCKABEE has defended his many tax increases during his tenure as governor by maintaining that he also managed to lower many other taxes. I will not attempt to prove otherwise, as his tax record can speak for itself. What I have observed, however, is the fact that, while Mr. Huckabee praises the virtues of lower taxes, his policy proposals are in direct contradiction to his claimed commitment to less taxation. He has proposed many additional social entitlement programs at the federal level; he states, “Every child deserves a quality education, first-rate health care, decent housing . . . .” etc. While this goal seems laudable, his proposal of forcing taxpayers to pay for these programs (the moral equivalent of stealing someone’s money to give it to another) would serve only to plunge our nation further into debt and financial danger. Mr. Huckabee is a proponent of the so-called “Fair Tax,” a federal sales tax of approximately 30%.

By contrast . . .

Dr. RON PAUL believes that concern for our fellow man should be our motivation to help others, not government-mandated taxpayer charity. As he has stated concerning misplaced government spending, “It is, of course, very easy to be generous with the people’s money.” He believes that we, the Church, should take responsibility for helping those in need, and that welfare programs serve only to perpetuate the poverty of most, rather than motivating them to improve their station in life. Dr. Ron Paul wishes to, in his own words, “get rid of the income tax and replace it with nothing.” He does not advocate a flat tax, nor a, “fair” tax. Eliminating the federal income tax would easily be possible by simply reducing federal spending.

“The only Republican with the potential to pull an upset victory over Clinton is Ron Paul.”

-Dr. Chuck Baldwin, Pastor

There are many more reasons why Dr. Paul's message of Christian Liberty has rung true with so many, and why I feel he is the only valid choice for our presidential nominee.
