There are already thousands of other taxes that the government makes money from, they don't need your hard earned money.
In theory this is a great idea. Put more money into people's hands. The problem, again, is that doing so would require large cuts from the government.

Here is the big question. Assume Paul wins and he starts to carry out his plan. People say they want change, hell they basically voted for the word Change in the last election. But deep down inside they don't really want change especially if things are good for them personally. When people start seeing all the changes that would happen and the services that would be cut from the government when it has to drastically cut back to meet its new lower income levels would they really want that? I'm sure some would and some wouldn't depending on what all they really ended up cutting. And, as I stated above, when it came time to make these cuts do you really think the house and senate could be able to agree on what to cut?
