Texas Straight Talk
What Congress Can Do About High Gas Prices
Leave a responseby Ron Paul Gasoline prices are soaring and the American people are angry. They want something done about it—now! $100 rebate checks to American motorists won’t cut it, nor will mandatory mileage requirements for new vehicles. Taxing oil profits will only force prices higher. But there are some very important things we can do immediately [...]
IRS Threatens Political Speech
Leave a responseby Ron Paul Five years ago, I wrote about threats made by the Internal Revenue Service against conservative churches for supposedly engaging in politicking. Today, the IRS is again attempting to chill free speech, sending notices to more than 15,000 non-profit organizations—including churches—regarding its new crackdown on political activity. But what exactly constitutes political activity? [...]
Federal Reserve Policy Destroys the Value of Your Savings
Leave a responseby Ron Paul For years officials at the Federal Reserve Bank, including Chairman Bernanke himself, have assured us that inflation is under control and not a problem– even as the price of housing, energy, medical care, school tuition, gold, and other commodities skyrockets. The Treasury department parrots the Fed line that consumer prices, as measured [...]
A New Declaration
Leave a responseby Ron Paul On the fourth day of July, in 1776, a small group of men, representing 13 colonies in the far-off Americas, boldly told the most powerful nation on earth that they were free. They declared, in terms that still are radical today, that all men are created equal, and endowed with certain inalienable [...]
The Worldwide Gun Control Movement
Leave a responseby Ron Paul The United Nations is holding a conference beginning this week in New York that ironically coincides with our national 4th of July holiday. It’s ironic because those attending the conference want to do away with one of our most fundamental constitutional freedoms—the right to bear arms. The stated goal of the conference [...]
Congress Rejects UN Taxes
Leave a responseby Ron Paul Let me ask you a question: Do you think you pay enough taxes? Throughout the year you paid federal taxes through withholding, including Social Security payroll taxes. You also paid state income taxes, unless you’re fortunate enough to live in Texas or another state without an income tax. You paid local property [...]
Why Won’t Congress Abolish the Estate Tax?
Leave a responseby Ron Paul The U.S. Senate had a golden opportunity to repeal the federal estate tax last week, but fell a few votes short. I fear that vote might represent the high-water mark in the movement to get rid of this destructive tax once and for all. Fortunately, estate taxes no longer devour 60% of [...]
The Annual Foreign Aid Rip-Off
Leave a responseby Ron Paul This week, Congress will vote to send more than 20 billion of your hard-earned dollars overseas, when it passes the Foreign Operations Appropriations bill for 2007. Our annual foreign aid bill is one of the most egregious abuses of the taxpayer I can imagine. Not only is it an unconstitutional burden on [...]
Stop the NAIS
Leave a responseby Ron Paul The House of Representatives recently passed funding for a new federal mandate that threatens to put thousands of small farmers and ranchers out of business. The National Animal Identification System, known as NAIS, is an expensive and unnecessary federal program that requires owners of livestock– cattle, dairy, poultry, and even horses– to [...]
