“Taxpayers’ Best Friend” Excluded from Forum
The Irony in the exclusion of presidential candidate, Ron Paul, from the Iowa forum, lies in the fact that it is hosted by Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance. Dr. Paul has been named “Taxpayers’ Best Friend” by the National Taxpayers Union for the past 10 years, for his outstanding congressional voting record on tax issues. Participants include Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo. It’s unclear why Dr. Paul was not invited to the forum. What is clear, is that Iowans for Tax relief are not as concerned about tax relief as the name of their organization might suggest.
