They can't and aren't, including Ron's own son. <br /><br />I am sure Amash intended to be the next Ron Paul, just like Dick Armey once talked to Lew about austrian econ and quoted Mises in the 80s.

Only when you grow up and see politics for what is really is - that is, politics itself, not just politicians - can you realize that no good can come of it. You CANNOT turn a racket into a fair game; the mafia into the salvation army.<br />That's why it's just so sad that a lot of libertarians keep believing that types like Rand Paul and Justin Amash are goodTonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-70837020073695345762013-01-01T15:33:23.630-05:002013-01-01T15:33:23.630-05:00He's a politician, what do you expect?He's a politician, what do you expect?Joshuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-23859161163663320462013-01-01T15:09:45.637-05:002013-01-01T15:09:45.637-05:00Perhaps someone should politely send this post ove...Perhaps someone should politely send this post over his way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-51100438256291021972013-01-01T14:50:26.682-05:002013-01-01T14:50:26.682-05:00"Fairness" in taxation?
