Why not get rid of the IRS, Federal Reserve and vote for someone who's own life and record dictate how much integrity he has?

No, I'm a liberal who likes bigger government and immoral values

I am a moderate conservative and believe in smaller government. Abandoning the Reserve would never do any good. It is the single strongest asset we have at regulating our economy and prevent gross inflation and high unemployment (inflation caused two world wars and unemployment was a real pain during the Depression). The IRS isn't necessarily a problem either..HOWEVER, they and FEMA are the only agencies with the power to seize property and assets without much of a reason...naturally they have one when they do, unless you home/land resides somewhere that the government wants to put up a highway. Changes do need to be made within the IRS though, primarily with curbing its pull (This will never happen, as governments love getting money)...So the changes that would help Americans would be a simplified tax code that doesn't benefit Corporations, Special Interest Groups or NPO/NGOs (of which both parties are guilty of cateering too). A flat tax and simplified plan would help the most. As for the integrity issue, its always hard when you have a candidate come out of nowhere, which means you can't use a voting record or public service record to determine their values or morals.

No, I'm a Libertarian who likes smaller government, and doesn't much care about moral values.
Getting rid of the IRS would suit me just fine. The Federal Reserve actually serves a useful purpose, though, so I'd be hesitant to get rid of it.
No one with integrity would ever run for political office.

Yes. Smaller government, and moral values were what this country was built on. The IRS has way too much power for OUR own good and should be completely restructured.
I'm still out on the FED, and I'm not sure theres one candidate from ANY party worth a damn.

Zinger you have to be kidding me. Every election I hear Republicans sprout out family and moral values, you know while they are either having affairs or on their second and even third marriage. We have the red states always saying how we need to protect marriage, while they have the highest divorce rates in the nation. Moral values not a poltical toy and the Pope is not Catholic.

smaller government anyway, but I'm suspicious of anyone who wants to implement their version of "moral values".
...but despite Ron Paul's "ideas", if hell did freeze over and he were to become president, I think he'd find out that "getting rid of the IRS" is a little trickier than it sounds...

yes. well, having a national currency is good, its more organized than bartering. So, far, I like Mike Huckabee, actually honest (which we arent used to-haha) and the guy doesnt seem half-bad.

Because the wealthy have enough money as it is, letting go of a few more dollars could help those in the poverty class have something to eat before they go to work in the mornings.
