I think your tax plan and eliminating the IRS is one of your best attributes. Not that I dont love almost everything else you stand for, but the IRS and taxes speak to every American whether rich or poor.
What can be done to shout your tax plan from the roof tops and make sure everyone knows about it?
Laura Sanders, writing for the Wall Street Journal, recently said "More than any other presidential candidate, Jeb Bush has put forth a detailed plan that dramatically changes the landscape for individual taxpayers."
But, as we both know, this isnt true. You have been doing it for years. What can be done to make sure this important point is not missed in your campaign?
It is believed, or could be argued, that the Current Administration has proven the case for supply side economics in reverse. By increasing taxation of the Rich, the Administratiion has taken millions from the economy which has pressed our middle class income down. Can you please make the case for supply side economics and what you will do to ensure our success?
Is the banker/salesman in the second situation protected by the 1st Amendment?
The final question should also refer to the 1st Amendment. Is the "hypothetical" County Clerk protected by the 1st Amendment.
Can you provide any examples?
First, I wanted to thank you again for helping to put an end to parts of the Patriot Act. A lot of the active users on Reddit (/r/RandPaul) have not forgotten how you've helped us regain some of the Liberties and Freedom that have been taken away from us over the past few decades.
I stand with you on most topics, however, my question for you is regarding Student Loans.
I personally do not have any student loans, however, a lot of the front runners in the Democratic Primary are pressing hard on Student Loan issues. I feel like you're the first Republican candidate in a very long time that could actually bring the parties closer together rather than separate them even further apart, so when I talk to my friends and family and convince them to vote for you, I'd love to be able to answer what your views regarding Student Loans are!
Thanks in advance and keep fighting the good fight! There's so many more people behind you than you could imagine! #StandWithRand
You have my support,

You've been very inspiring to me on the campaign trail. As a member of Clemson's Young Americans for Liberty Chapter, are you planning on more college visits to connect with millennials?
Good luck on the trail!
With the price of college being ever so expensive and students being smothered with student loan debt, how would you as President help alleviate the pains of student loan debt.
Thank you!
Which brings me to today. You have no doubt heard or will soon hear that this morning the Department of the Interior has announced the most enormous and egregious land grab in history with the release of the intended Greater Sage Grouse Land Use Plans in the western United States. Eleven Western States will be disastrously impacted by the Proposed Plan in the GRSG FEIS. That is actually a measure of how many sage grouse there actually are - across eleven States, but they don't care, this is an Agenda 21 land grab of monumental proportions.
My livelihood as a geologist and a project I have been working on for the last year and half is now essentially taken by being subject to an arbitrary locatables mineral withdrawal in an historic gold mining district no less.
We in Nevada feel it is now time to nullify the unconstitutional holding of the federal government on 87% of the State of Nevada. Would you support this concept?
Thank you.
Your political career has inspired me to eventually run for the House one day. Unfortunately, I am only an IT with an Associates Degree, but consider myself well educated in terms of economics, foreign policy, history and the Constitution. What advice would you have for me in regards to starting a campaign, fundraising, and gaining the support of the people against an opponent who likely has better on paper credentials and financial support such as a doctor or a lawyer?
