Dismantling the IRS can be done. It's called a flat tax and EVERYONE pays... or a consumption tax that is collected on ALL non-essential goods. There are many plans that could be tried and tweaked for fair taxation. As it stands the tax code is used for social engineering by politicians. It is wrong and a terrible system. The operating budget for the IRS is $12 billion, $50 for every person in the US and $200 for a family of 4. It is estimated that another $6.6 billion is spent on tax compliance. This is a terrible waste of resources.

Department of Education. As many have stated, we didn't even have it until 1979. Since that time our educational system has sunk to almost third world status. Despite spending almost 60% more than the next highest industrialized country per capita, US performance in math and science is near the bottom. Maybe some Ron Paul detractors think science and math is overrated. We are not getting what we pay for, and the responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of the DOE. The result is generations of less educated and thus less competitive citizens.

What I find striking are the people who claim to agree with many of Ron Paul's issues but then dismiss his chance to win. If you agree with his ideas then you are at fundamental odds with every other candidate running. It should shine a huge floodlight on how far the national debate has careened into insanity. I am no longer worried about being called a kook when I talk about Ron Paul. I am worried about not doing enough to let people know that there is someone running whom recognizes and is not afraid of the glaring problems coming our way- an aging population expecting to be taken care of by an under-educated under-achieving generation- government that is like a cancer growing at uncontrollable levels running up huge deficits borrowing money from those that despise its way of life. At some point the bill comes due and drastic action will ensue. While the federal government has no problem bailing out a mortgage banking system out of control, I wonder if the federal government's debt holders will be as kind. My bet would be no.

It's time to face the music sooner rather than later. I don't mind being called nutjob stumping for someone that I agree with 75% of what he stands for. Voting for someone I totally disagree with because "they have a chance to win" is asinine and totally irresponsible and I am tired of playing their game!
