Also, CCS is right. Kucinich is very different from Paul. Paul is a libertarian which means he doesn't want to tax and he wants as little government as possible. He would do away with pretty much all government interference in business, government agencies, social security, medicare etc. He would let business run a muck, no one would be watching them to be sure that they aren't polluting too much or putting carcinogens in our food and products. Anyone who gets sick or loses a job would have to fend for themselves. Kucinich is progressive so he would tax, but rather than focus on spending tax dollars on wars and military spending, he would use it for healthcare for all, unemployment benefits, aid for the elderly and impoverished, and other programs to help benefit ordinary Americans who are struggling. He doesn't want to spend our tax dollars on killing people in Afghanistan and Iraq. To his credit, Paul also doesn't want to spend tax dollars on senseless wars but he also doesn't want to spend tax dollars on ordinary Americans either, he just believes in the free market.
