Looks Like Ron Paul Wasn’t Very Far Off

Remember the other day when I wrote on the IRS having the power to revoke your passport?

Great, you remember.

Now, remember when Ron Paul said the following:

“But the people who want big fences and guns, sure, we can secure the borders — a barbed-wire fence with machine guns, that would do the trick.

I don’t believe that’s what America is all about. I just really don’t.

We can enforce our law. If we had a healthy economy, this wouldn’t be such a bad deal. People are worrying about jobs. But every time you think about this toughness on the border and I.D. cards and Real IDs, think that it’s a penalty against the American people, too.

I think this fence business is designed and may well be used against us and keep us in. In economic turmoil, the people want to lead with their capital. And there’s capital controls and there’s people control. So, every time you think of fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us, keeping us in.”

No, you don’t? Well here’s a video reminder: Ron Paul Says The Border Fence Built To Keep Us In

Turns out maybe he was right. Owe the IRS? You’re Not Going Anywhere, No Passport For You!

Hat tip to The Daily Paul.
