Ron Paul 2008

Hillary Clinton used to top my list of presidential candidates for 2008, until recently someone introduced Ron Paul to me. I think there has never been a politician whose views align so perfectly as mine. Here are some major issues he mentioned:

- He supports cutting taxes. I cannot agree with this anymore, with about 40% of my paycheck goes into vacuum last year, with a large portion of it funding the war which I oppose strongly.

- He is totally against the war, and argues that the US' involvement in the middle east directly lead to 9/11. A less aggressive foreign policy can be of great benefit to the US and the rest of the world.

- On immigration, he voiced out what the silent majority of the US had in mind - the illegal immigrants ("Undocumented workers"? Give me a break.) should not enjoy a short cut to getting residency, nor should they be eligible for any welfare.

Too bad I am not eligible to vote.
