Paul is a libertarian, Roto. We shave off percentages for that. If the sun is shining and a Dem says so, that is 100% correct. If a Libertarian says so that is about 75%, which is not a bad percentage and shows that libertarians are making progress.
In any case, there was a federal income tax during the Civil War, not repealed until 1872.
