Another Rand Waffle


Rand Paul is once again talking out of both sides of his mouth. It was reported just yesterday that Rand has a radical plan to replace the income tax with a national sales tax:
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky said Tuesday the federal tax code is a “disaster,” and he wants to replace the income tax with a retail sales tax.

Paul said that he would support changing the federal tax code to get rid of the Internal Revenue Service, and he would vote to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment that created the federal income tax.

Fast-forward to today:
But when reporters asked Paul Wednesday why he thought the tax should be abolished, he said, “I really haven’t been saying anything like that.”

So what is Rand's position on this idea? Is he for it, or is he against it? What does Rand Paul actually believe? It's time for Rand to get off the fence and tell us what he wants to do.
