This guys sounds awesome.  But it also sounds like he would never be elected president, and even if he was he'd only end up vetoing half the legislation congress puts in front of him (which might be a great thing).

Liberalism is a great thing and I really like what I read in the article, so I really have respect for this guy even if he is a republican.

His ideas on taxes, however, I don't appreciate too much. Getting rid of income taxes and raising the sales taxes instead is highly unsocial, because it means everyone has to pay the same amount of taxes theoretically, and not only the same amount in percentage but in absolute numbers.

How does this work out?  I assume by "unsocial" you meant not progressive, or possibly regressive - neither of which seems true to me.  I was under the impression that buying more with sales tax = paying more.  If this policy works how I think it does then it might be great for America because you'd have a greater incentive to save your money (as opposed to spending it where you face a sales tax), and might help raise America's low saving rate.
