You sound like a natural Ron Paul supporter. He also strongly believes in not taking money from the government, and hasn't taken any - EVER. I don't agree with him on that, but do on other things. Check him out:

en.wikipedia.org

"Ron Paul takes stances that he terms constitutionalist and libertarian. He is an advocate of free trade, fewer taxes, smaller government, strong national sovereignty and non-interventionism.[52]Paul supports reduced government spending and reduced taxes. As congressman, he has never voted to raise taxes or to approve an unbalanced budget and has also called for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the federal income tax.[53] Paul has been named "The Taxpayer's Best Friend" by the National Taxpayers Union every year he has been in Congress.[54]

Paul also supports the U.S. converting to a free market health care system and increasing competition and thus opposes universal health care.[55] Paul is pro-life, yet most recently got a 65% pro-choice score from NARAL. Paul does not believe that the issue of gay marriage is something that should be decided at the federal level. As such, Paul opposes "federal efforts to redefine marriage" and has stated that federal intervention on this issue is a "major usurpation of the states’ power."[56] Paul said that Americans "understandably fear" the nationwide legalization of gay marriage, and that efforts to prevent states from outlawing same-sex marriage are "profoundly hostile to liberty." He voted to de-fund same-sex adoption in Washington, D.C.

In addition, Paul has asserted that he does not think there should be any federal control over education which be handled at a local and state level. Paul opposes illegal immigration, voted "yes" on the Secure Fence Act of 2006, and opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Paul supports a non-interventionist foreign policy and opposes foreign aid. He is the only 2008 Republican presidential candidate to have voted against the Iraq War Resolution in 2002.[57][58] Paul voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force which resulted in the War in Afghanistan in 2001,[40] but suggested alternatives including giving the president authority to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal to target specific terrorists."
