Anonymous Coward User ID: 12943084 United States 03/31/2012 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find it very funny that they list reimbursements for travel, food, flags, etc. like this is some sort of immoral or criminal act. lol That being said, if I'm running for office I'm going to want people on my staff I can trust. Whom comes to mind first? Family. Now paying staff a salary isn't wrong, illegal, or immoral. Paying family members more than they should be paid for the position and duties they fulfill might be. Of course it didn't list the amount of salaries paid to family members or other staff members, so we really don't know the full details, do we? |

Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign (R-TX) paid six relatives salaries or fees, the most of any member." ---Page 2 of the linked report So let me see if I get this straight. Thousands of people across the country make small donations to Ron Paul's campaign. Ron Paul then uses a portion of those donated funds to pay family members for their effort. Are you suggesting that anyone within the Ron Paul campaign work for free, or would you rather have your tax dollars going to support them?

It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessity to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." - Times of London "The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots... I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it systematically to corrupt modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos in order that the earth should become their inheritance." - Otto von Bismark |
