Watch this debate featuring Ron Paul (GOP Presidential candidate) and FOX News anchor Neil Cavuto. It has to do with the IRS and income tax, which Paul wants to eventually abolish from government (we didn't have it before 1913).
This is such an interesting debate. On the one hand, Cavuto makes a plausible point... What if everyone stopped paying taxes? The country would come to a standstill. I wouldn't have known how to answer that question. But Paul's answer is the answer that I didn't see: If everyone stopped paying, then politicians would start paying attention and change things.
I wonder how the government did get on without income tax back before 1913...

Not his most shining interview. He did make some interesting points though - things wouldn't grind to a halt, and the government would have to listen to the people. It doesn't seem to like doing that lately.
Neil couldn't seem to grasp that the issue was not black and white.
Paul is so principled, it seems he doesn't know how to quell the so-called "shocking" elements of the insinuation. He just continues telling about his position.
