The Des Moines Register reports:

After proposing the elimination of the income tax earlier in the day in Maquoketa, the congressman said he’d also support abolishing withholding taxes.

The term refers to a portion of an employee’s wages that are paid directly to the government by their employer.

“If everybody had to write a check every week or every month, and send in what you had to pay — believe me, this thing would have come to a halt a long time ago,” Paul said.
