2. “His budget plan: more giveaways for the super wealthy and big corporations.”
Meet newest 2016 GOP presidential candidate, Rand Paul: He’s not into the Civil Rights Act, he thinks refinancing…

Contained in a Facebook video on the day of Senator Paul’s announcement, the self-proclaimed “factivists” (which sounds and looks suspiciously like “fascists”) outline several of Paul’s “beliefs” in a misleading and arrogant manner. The last of those listed is perhaps the easiest to debunk: that Paul supports “giveaways” to the well-connected. The “factivists” back this up with a clip of Senator Paul from the Stossel show in 2012 stating that if the rich were to pay “their fair share” in taxes that they must have their taxes reduced. This is telling, as the only way in which Democrats can equate letting people keep more of their own money to a “giveaway” is if they view others’ profits as the property of the government. What might make this outrageous claim most laughable of all is that when it comes to actual “giveaways,” Senator Paul has repeatedly advocated for eliminating 100% of corporate welfare.
