The 75,000 Page Horror Story

Ron Paul: Waiters and Waitresses Hit By Double Whammy of Inflation and the Taxman
While price inflation has eased modestly from its peak, Americans are still dealing with rapidly increasing prices, and that is squeezing their pocketbooks.

Fun on Friday: The Tax Man Cometh
It’s time for Fun on Friday and I have to be honest — I’m not feeling very fun. Why? Because the tax man cometh! And no matter how you slice it, taxation is not a fun subject. It’s no wonder “death” and “taxes” are often mentioned in the same breath. But April 15 is lurking […]

About Those Tax Cut Savings…
Your Trump tax cut isn’t going to be quite as big as you might have thought. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, a new inflation measurement included in the GOP plan and recently implemented by the IRS will cut into your tax cut savings in 2019. Ron Paul warned you about this […]
