Just one day after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced his candidacy for president, the tax policy section on his campaign website disappeared.

According to National Journal, which also flagged the disappearance, Paul’s listed tax plan had included an estate tax, an alternative minimum tax, and a flat tax at 17 percent of an Americans’ income.

The cache of the page can be seen here. A screenshot of the page can be seen below:

The Youtube page of Paul discussing his tax policy positions, released on Monday, was still public on Tuesday. It is below:

A spokesman did not immediately respond to questions from National Journal.

  1. Probably just a false flag operation. //

  2. Logic and common sense would say; “Pack it up Randal and save yourself the money, trouble and embarrassment.”

    But the writers at SNL are saying:“Run Rand Run!!!”

  3. I actually support a flat tax…so long as it is on all money a person, business or corporation earns, no loopholes, no deductions, no moving to tax shelters, no accounting tricks to move money over seas.

    Of course, Rand Paul doesn’t support that. He supports making sure that the US government becomes just like Kansas’.

  4. SamE LIbtard CONSPIracY that HACked HIS weBSITE, speLLED edUCAtion WRONG and lOADEd alL thOSE crazY avaTArs.

  5. Watched the You Tube skit. It’s basically the same ole, same ole – Cut Taxes. " … will be the largest tax cut in American history." Dude, how do you plan on paying for the expansion of the military and the war on Iran you are now supporting? Could it be your numbers do not/cannot come close to adding up at all, much less in the five years you suggested – and that is why your Tax Policy Page has disappeared? If so, be a real man, a serious candidate and admit you need to revisit your budgeting and what is and is not realistic. If you did that, lots of potential supporters might take you more seriously.
