Rand Paul

How do we defeat the Washington machine? First, send career politicians home by enacting term limits. Next, require Congress to read the bills they vote on. Then stop wasteful spending by requiring a balanced budget by law. Stop lobbyists from taking our tax dollars and then using that money to lobby for more. Most importantly, expand our liberty by downsizing big government.

But, you know, we don't think we age until we look back at ourselves 10 or 12 years ago. You know, I still believe all of those things. And one of the things I talk to a lot of student audiences that I try to convey is, you know, Some of the words of the founding fathers that at first when you hear them are startling from someone in government.

Thomas Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense, talked about government being a necessary evil. And it was read, I think it was purchased by 500,000 people when there were only 2.5 million people. That's a good selling book. We can all try to emulate that as authors.

But my point is, is that government being a necessary evil means that we have to have some government, but it's a necessary evil because you have to give up liberty. So I give up some freedom by paying taxes. If I had 100% tax rate, I think I would have no freedom of using the fruits of my labor.

So the argument from a libertarian point of view is always we want the least amount of government that we can possibly have because we want to maximize our freedom. And it's not an argument for no government, but it's always an argument for minimizing government. So whenever somebody proposes something, whether from the right or the left,
