U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R- Ky., meets with supporters at One New Hampshire Ave. at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth Friday.Beauchesne/rbeauchesne@seacoastonline.com

PORTSMOUTH U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., brought his vision of lower taxes, less regulation and reaching out to disenfranchised Americans in the inner city to the Pease Tradeport on Friday.

Paul said the best way to improve the economy and create jobs is to leave more money in New Hampshire, rather than sending it to Washington.

It's as simple as that, Paul said during an appearance before about 60 people in the lobby of the One New Hampshire Ave. building.

He also emphasized that the Republican party must reach out to people they might not have in the past, and pointed to his bill to create economic freedom zones in places like Detroit.

There's 15,000 feral dogs roaming the city, Paul said about Detroit. It's a disaster.

Instead of creating federal programs to try to address the parts of Detroit that have been abandoned, Paul called for cutting the tax rate for individuals and corporations in the city to 5 percent for 10 years.

I don't pick winners and losers, Paul said. I lower their taxes.

Too often, Paul contended, Republicans haven't been bold enough in calling for substantial tax cuts and trying new ideas like the economic freedom zones.
