That's all I meant when I said Ron Paul was over the top on this. But if he wants to abolish the income tax, well then he has my support!
Oh, I see what you're saying. But I understand that Ron Paul believes that as well. Afterall, he wants to get rid of the IRS!

He has said that these changes would have to be done gradually. Perhaps starting off with the service industry workers and their tips, is his way of doing just that. Other people would start complaining and then once the floodgates are opened.... actually if that's true, it's pretty darn clever!
