Czuch: If I asked you what is on the dark side of the moon, or what is the price of eggs in China, you'd respond with.....
"My point is, I want less government. You want more!"
If I point out that your position is inconsistent, i.e., you want more of some kinds of government, you ignore that and say:
"You just want more government, and I want less!"
When I tell you that Ron Paul was my preferred candidate, you say....
"What a liberal! it is LESS government we need, not MORE!"
So then I ask you to explain further what you mean, i.e., do you mean less handouts to the poor, or less handouts to big business? do you mean smaller governmental departments, including the Dept. of Defense?
Your answer....
"See what I mean? You're a liberal who wants more government, I'm a conservative who wants less!"
The Usurper:Isn't he a Texas Republican? I rather like him too. Huckabee is my fav. The smart ones never get elected. Only the smooth talkers. (with the exception of Regan. A great American President!)
Artful Dodger: Ron Paul is an old-time conservative. Strip the government bare! But I admire his consistency, because he recognizes that corporations are the biggest recipients of government handouts (and therefore evade true market competition), and that the government's agenda abroad is anti-democratic & imperialistic.

Without corporate hand outs our price for gas here would be $8 a gallon instead of the $2 it is right now.... what the "tax the rich" liberals dont understand is that when the government pays them to keep our gas prices down, most of the money does come from the rich, and the poor, who dont pay any taxes, dont end up paying anything to get lower oil prices...
BUT, if instead, the government didnt give these hand outs, and we let the market be free, gas prices would be $8 for everyone, including the poor people!
Talking for a true free market, then complaining when some company sends jobs to china???? Or is it only a free market with protection that you want?????
Liberals.... say one thing, mean another... want one thing ask for another....
Czuch: Simple Czuch, do as we do in the UK. The tax is included in the price of the petrol. So in the end, it's how much you use that is the deciding factor in how much tax you pay on petrol.
