Paul—who’s wearing jeans and a collar-less tee-shirt emblazoned with “DETROIT REPUBLICAN”—kills the tax code three different ways: He lights it on fire, chops it up with a chainsaw and throws it in the wood chipper. Paul kills the tax code on camera in the different ways as a metallic rock-style guitar plays the national anthem. Paul rolled the video out on Fox News with anchor Bill Hemmer on Tuesday morning.
