6 Ron Paul Conspiracy Theories

3. “Zombies” vs. “True Patriots” Theory

In 2007, Paul was asked his opinion about a New Hampshire couple, Ed and Elaine Brown, who had refused to pay federal income taxes and, as a result, faced an armed standoff with US marshals that lasted 5 months. Taking his down-on-taxation views a little further this time, Paul not only defended but praised the couple, calling them “true patriots” as opposed to the “zombies” who pay their taxes like the law says. He even likened them to historical heroes like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Some say this is the closest Paul has come to publically endorsing violence against the government. We’d like to see him refuse to pay his taxes.
