Except that Paul doesn't take out the biggest loss of revenue for a state -- taxes on corporations. Show me where and I'll drop it, but I've not seen it. I could be missing something, considering I am casually posting while programming...
He focuses on "minimum wage" -- as if poor people need to have their cash income shrank!
I'd like to take head on your argument for "increases unemployment" with another observation -- indentured servitude increases employment by giving a contractual obligation for provisions, etc,.
My point being, "increases employment" is a goddamn canard if not qualified with what is both gained and lost.
If the lower middle class and urban poor have an increase in employment at the cost of shrinking the middle class by shunting into people into lower or poor classes, then it is a foolish thing to lobby for.
On the other hand, what possible argument can be made for allowing rich people who do not spend their capital to hold onto it? I think there is little, and all the more to be had with increased taxes on the wealthy.
They got all the cash. Now they can be American and contribute back to the community that nurtured them.
