He says he wants to balance the budget while keeping the tax cuts. Let's see how that goes.

He also has no answers regarding foreign policy. Avoids it like the plague.

I don't think a guy from Kentucky can relate to people who live in the more populated areas of this country, or people from other countries for that matter. There is a huge divide. It is no one's fault, it is just a fact.

For example: If you live in Manhattan you are subjected to all sorts of people and cultures from all over the world. On the other hand, when your entire life consists of just socializing with the people in your sparsely populated area, then statements like: you can use chickens to trade your doctor for medical care, and the like, even though I know that wasn't a Rand Paul statement, is still a different mindset.

Country folk don't trust city folk or government. They have a sense of community, they have guns, they grow food, they are usually more religious, etc.

If all of your friends and family are white Christians, then maybe you just don't trust Blacks, Jews, Muslims, etc.

I would probably feel the same way if I grew up there, as people are uncomfortable with the unfamiliar, but like everything else, a balance is required.

A person in the middle of Chicago without healthcare will not find a doctor to trade his chickens with, and likely does not have any chickens to begin with, etc.

People need to work towards uniting this country soon. Too many corporations benefit from the divide, and fan the flames, but there are WAY more people than there are elected officials of corporate CEOs, and we need to work together to fix the "People's America" and start fighting the corporate ownership of America.
