Wikipedia entry: Ron Paul
Paul regularly votes against almost all proposals for new government spending, initiatives, or taxes.[23] He has pledged never to raise taxes,[32][161] and states he has never voted to approve an unbalanced budget. He has stated that abolishing the individual income tax, which collects about 42 percent of government revenue, would be possible without any additional source of federal income by cutting spending to the 2000 level. He has also stated that we could quickly pay off our foreign debt and return our nation to solvency, if we further reduced spending to the 1992 level.[2][162]
Paul would like to substantially reduce the government's role in individual lives and in the functions of foreign and domestic states; he says Republicans have lost their commitment to limited government and have become the party of big government.[163] Paul supports elimination of most federal government agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service,[2] the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, and the Interstate Commerce Commission,,[3] calling them unnecessary bureaucracies.
Paul opposes inflation, viewing it as an underhanded form of "taxation" due to the fact that it takes value away from the money that individuals hold without having to directly tax them. He said in one presidential debate that "a dollar today is worth 4 cents compared to a dollar in 1913 when the Federal Reserve got in." He argues that hard money, such as backed by gold or silver, are superior to fiat money, but says he does not advocate going back to the gold standard.[164] Rather, he wishes to legalize gold and silver as legal tender, as called for in the Constitution, so that gold-backed notes issued from the private markets can compete with fiat Federal Reserve notes; this, he believes, will help restrain inflation as well as limit government spending and the expansion of government (since government would be deprived of the income derived from inflation).[165] He advocates gradual elimination of the Federal Reserve central bank for a few reasons, arguing that economic volatility is decreased when the free market determines interest rates and money supply,[166] and that the Federal Reserve allows government to grow unchecked, and involve itself in areas he believes it should not be involved in, by inflating the money supply when funds are needed to accomodate government spending.
Everything in here is untenable.
I should probably leave this last bit out but,
"Paul calls himself "an unshakable foe of abortion",[4][83] and believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level.'
So Medical decisions require Government intervention. Not very libertarian.
Less Government, unless it suits his personal point of view and agenda.
