Regarding Rand Paul

[el_bryanto]

2. The thing that chills me about Rand Paul is his idea for "economic freedom zones"

There are areas that he would set up in depressed areas like detroit - in which the top tax rate, both income and corporate, would be 5%. You can also count your charitable contributions as credits, not deductions. So you could just make a charitable donation if you don't want to give the government any money. Such Zones would see a weakening of all regulation, particularly environmental. Education would be privatized as much as possible - and should these plans fail to produce prosperity the bill mandates no bailouts or additional government aid.

Just what Detroit needs.

The things that Rand Paul wants to do are dangerous - both for the communities he would inflict these plans on and for America as a whole. But you are right; he might well catch the Tea Party Vote, and enough of the Corporate vote to close a gap.
