- MODERATOR: If you were president, would you work to phase out the IRS?
- RON PAUL: Immediately.
- and you can only do that if you change our ideas about what the role of government ought to be.
- If you think the government has to take care of us from cradle to grave,
- and if you think our government should police the world,
- and spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a foreign policy that we can not manage
- then you can't get rid of the IRS, but if you want to lower taxes,
- and if you want the government to quit printing the money to come up with the shortfall and call with all the inflation, you have to change policy.
- In my first week, I already got rid of the income tax.
- By my second week I would get rid of the inflation tax - it's a tax that nobody talks about.
- We live way beyond our means, with a foreign policy we can't afford and an entitlement system that we have encouraged.
- We print money for it, the value of the money goes down, and poor people pay higher prices.
- That is a tax - it's a transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to Wall Street.
- Wall Street is doing quite well, and the inflation tax is eating away at the middle class of this country.
- We need to get rid of the inflation tax with sound money.
- There's nothing radical about it. To me, the radical idea is over-spending, over-borrowing,
- and then resorting to printing money when you run out of it, and you wonder why you have financial problems.
- We're borrowing it from the Chinese to finance our military operations.
- I mean, most Americans are waking up to this.
- TUCKER CARLSON: I think you are the only Republican running for president right now
- who actually voted against the war in Iraq at the very outset - are you going to bring that up on the stage tonight?
- RON PAUL: Well, if I have the chance, I certainly will, because 70% of the American people
- now think that the foreign policy is going in the wrong direction and want a change.
- MODERATOR: Congressman Paul, you voted against the war. Why are all of your fellow Republicans up here wrong?
- RON PAUL: That's a very good question, and you might ask the question,
- "Why are 70% of the American people now wanting us out of there, and why did the Republicans do so poorly last year?"
- So, I would suggest that we should look at foreign policy.
- I'm suggesting, very strongly, that we should have a foreign policy of non-intervention.
- A conservative does not have to be embarrassed about being opposed to needless war, war that is undeclared,
- Here we're going to war - ever since World War II we've never declared war, and we've never won a war. There's nothing conservative about that.
- RON PAUL: ... And that we should mind our own business and take the advice of the founders and that is stay out of entangling alliances,
- don't get involved in nation-building, and don't get involved in the internal affairs of other nations.
- A lot more Americans would be alive if we followed that policy.
- RON PAUL: We don't need any more money to bring the troops home,
- I mean, we have already have six or seven hundred billion dollars in the pipeline.
- So there's more than adequate funds available to take care of our troops,
- and make sure they're out of harm's way, and bring them home.
- So, we don't need the funding - what we need is more funding for our veterans.
- We neglect our veterans, we neglect our hospitals, and at the same time, we're over there
- spending even more money, to perpetuate a war, and the Democrats have not offered an alternative.
- So I think that the Republican alternative ought to be, that we ought to mind our own business -
- President Bush ran on this platform of not policing the world
- and not getting involved in the internal affairs of other nations,
- stay out of nation building - I think it's a great policy.
- INTERVIEWER: So you just want all of the troops to come home, that's what you would do right now if you were president?
- PAUL: Well, you can't do it in 24 hours, but you should design a policy of non-intervention
- And why do we have troops in Korea? For more than 50 years, why do we occupy Europe?
- I mean, we're going broke and we don't need this -
- we need this money to be spent at home -
- we need to worry about our borders at home
- Not worrying about the borders around the world, between Syria and Iraq.
- I mean, that doesn't have anything to do with our national security -
- we ought to deal with our own national security.
- Our military right now is in shambles, it's a mess - because we've been stretched too thin.
- Though, one of these days we're going to have to wake up,
- and I'm afraid we won’t wake up until we go bankrupt. And we're approaching that time already.
