Paul calls for eliminating federal income taxes to avoid recession

While touring Louisiana before today’s caucus, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul once again proposed eliminating federal income taxes and returning to a gold backed currency to rescue the nation’s economy.

Paul had warned that the current economic crises would develop and has blamed the Federal Reserve for creating it. Paul said, “The Fed has again taken our country into a terrible crisis. Who else is talking about honest money that cannot be printed up at will by DC bureaucrats? My opponents in both parties are all some variety of print-and-spend Keynesians.”

Paul continued, “Only we are telling the truth, about who is to blame for this recession, and how we can build real prosperity with sound money, no IRS, no deficit, and strict obedience to the Constitution. And, of course, no hyper-expensive, hyper-dangerous empire all around the globe.”

Paul is campaigning for Louisiana’s 47 national delegates. Today’s caucus will decide which delegates get to go to the state convention on February 16th and pick the national delegates. A victory today would likely ensure the lion’s share of the state’s delegates at the state convention.

Paul is the only candidate to campaign in the state since the primary season began earlier this month. Paul seems to have been given a boost by his second place showing in Nevada. Should he do well today, the Texas Congressman could find himself among the top contenders in the delegate count.
