  • Both = legends.

  • Barney literally jumped out of his panties when Paul dazzled dollars saved from overseas US military operations being flown in front of his tax-fattened face. That's why he agreed with Paul. What an intellectual mismatch.

  • Comment removed

  • GO RON PAUL!!!

  • Wow, at first glance, their expressions say a lot. Frank's face is all turned down and ugly. Paul's face is turned up and happy. Frank's is an evil ass.

  • Comment removed

  • He just lied. He pushed for "home-ownership" in his own words, now he's backpedaling bumbling and fumbling about "rental housing". He is flat out lying.

  • t's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"

    PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

    IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

    WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere

  • @jstiff59 I live in Illinois, How do I go about switching parties brother

  • @jstiff59 why would you vote ron paul?? because of the fed reserve? That issue existed in the 50's when we built the middle class... It existed in the 90's...that's not a true issue..thats a made up issue- if your issue is wanting to have a dollar worth more then a country that you would never travel 2 then...ok fight til the end...at the end of the day because we have not had true wage increases since the Reagan admin is the issue-.and has nothing to do with Gov-

  • @excaliba360

    Fed reserve creates bubble which bursts and makes the economy crash, they hand out unnecessary credit. through the fed, they create fake wealth which shifts around, which makes the pie smaller rather than grow larger.

  • I hate people who troll, whats worse when a troll fails at trolling, lmao...

  • @LastGouki Well if I was trolling, then I must have trolled you hard. xD

  • @gamefreak1000000 You did. didnt u -.-... u son of a bitch...

  • CONSTITUTION DAY MONEYBOMB THIS SATURDAY, SEPT 17, 2011

  • Barney Frank still owes me for a burger he got from me on monday.

  • Barney Frank actually sounds retarded.

  • I would vote for chuck schummer over barney frank

  • Barney my pebbles.

  • How can Barney Frank blame Bush for the housing crisis? Wow.

  • come to the UK and see how our NHS (national health service) has worked so well in my 37 yrs of life.

    I owe my life to the NHS.. ( EVERYONE deserves free health care )

  • @sexynelson100 The UK is doing well? lol

  • i just wish Ron wasn't a creationist...but I guess it's better that way, it shows someone with even drastically different beliefs can still be out for your best interests.

  • @Ninety9Soulz Why not? Creationism is the principles that this country was founded upon.

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT! The rest are all sell outs folks, even Rick Perry the A&M Cheerleader. Bush was also a cheerleader. They are 2 sides of one coin.

  • Barney Frank is repulsive. If he stopped talking like he has a cock in his mouth and he was not such a left wing tool he may be alright.

  • @75630KaraokeStar He doesn't have a cock in his mouth, he spit it out right before he went on air LMAO!

  • @democratsaresmart GOVERNMENT CAN'T CREATE JOBS. THE PRIVATE SECTOR DOES!!

  • Look at Barney Frank at the end there when Ron Paul is talking about the corporate interests.

  • marijuana will finally be legalize and regulated and the war on drugs will be over if you vote for Ron Paul 2012

  • @rimacho14 He never said weed was going to be legal you idiot.

  • @gamefreak1000000 excuse me

  • @rimacho14 Okay maybe the idiot part was uncalled for, but when did he ever say he was going to legalize weed? I NEVER heard him say that and I doubt that if he was creationist that he would do such a thing like legalizing drugs. You're deluding yourself and if you think that Ron Paul is really going to legalize drugs, you're voting for the wrong guy.

  • @gamefreak1000000 Actually ur wrong congress man ron paul was gunna stop the war on drugs, n find ways to get weed marketed, or just legalized, he believes crime rate and drug rate would go down legalizing it, in fact it would. look at spain, people shoot herion up on the streets its legal, but theres a less rate of drug user's? funny fact? Yah war' on drugs is just fanatsy it'l never work

  • @LastGouki Well it's funny because Ron Paul is losing the republican nominee ATM. Drugs are counter productive. Besides, if we're going to follow that logic, why don't we legalize murder too along with every other law. That way there is no crime rate! Your logic is flawed and I hate to disappoint, but Ron Paul will never win the Republican nominee because he is losing. Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are ahead of Paul and it will always be that way.

  • @gamefreak1000000 HAHAHAHA UR A RETARD KID STOP TROLLING< HE AINT GUNNA WIN CUZ THE MASS MEDIA CHOOSES THE WINNER"S, ONE HE AINT EVEN REPUBLICAN EITHER HES JUST RUNNING AS ONE TO ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE IN THE RACE, Ur a fuckn idiot, Game freak play som more games on ur fat ass, and make no sense to ur rant's, READ UP WHAT RON PAULS ABOUT, stop fuckin makin up shit, lik forreal ur so stupid. ya fuckn trollolol

  • @gamefreak1000000 Gamefreak your a looser man, u dont even know shit, lmao, U KNOW WHY IT WOULD LESSEN DRUG RATE LEGALIZING IT? Becuz people who smoke weed arent gunna get it from a DRUG DEALER who pushs more than just weed, UR A FUCKN IDIOT, Ok I'm done, yah cant fix stupid

  • @LastGouki Looser? Don't know shit? Your whole post was nothing but a logical fallacy combined with stupid. You are totally right, you can't fix stupid. However, the stupid one isn't who you think it is.

  • @gamefreak1000000 hes in favor for legalization plus when the bill in cali for legal weed was trying to pass, he voted for legalization. excuse me if i spelled anything wrong, i speak mostly spanish and strugle the grammer in english. also weed is a soft drug, same catergory of alchol ans tobacco.

  • @rimacho14 Weed is a gateway to harder drugs like Heroine and Cocaine. It's been proven statistically. Also, it doesn't matter what Ron Paul is for because he isn't going to win the Republican nominee. He is going to lose because the polls on Fox shows that he is in 3rd.

  • @gamefreak1000000 LOL foxnews, i dont watch their news, they are completly against ron paul. i either watch ccn or russian tv. fox news tells lies. also you know what weird, 10 years smokeing weed(i dont abuse weed) and i never touched hard drugs. i am a proud supporter for legalization of a plant that is safer than you morning coffee.

  • @rimacho14 Numbers don't lie kid. Ron Paul is in 5th place in the current up to date poll, getting beaten badly. I'm sorry, but just keep smoking your "safe plant" and dream on because we need a strong conservative like Herman Cain that will run this country better than that weak Ron Paul guy. Again, I don't give a shit about your opinions on weed. I go by the numbers and then numbers say that 68% of people who is into weed get into harder drugs. Facts, not opinions. Facts.

  • @gamefreak1000000 please dont call me kid, that is not necessary, i could be older. plus that is all false. since you get your facts from fox, i really cant believe you on facts for now but that theory about moving on to hard drugs has been proven false. i do like your channel by the way. oh and when i said i smoked weed for ten years, dousnt that give you an idea than i am a adult. would you like it if i decided to call you kid, i dont thinks so. maybe you are the kid.

  • @rimacho14 Because Fox are the only ones making the GOP poll. If you see another GOP leading poll, then be sure to show me because I can't find one. Also, it's not a theory about weed being a gateway drug because as I have said, 68% of weed users get into harder drugs. There is no point in smoking weed either, so why would you do it?

  • @gamefreak1000000 i smoke cannabis because of heavy work hours and it helps me relax my musles, also it relieves body pain and it helps me eat.. may you sent me links or proof that 68% of users move on to hard drugs.

  • @rimacho14

    w w w (dot) physorg.com / news71419492 (dot) html

    Replace the 's' with 't' and the '(dot)' with '.'

  • @gamefreak1000000 can you send me the link in a messsage, i, having trouble opening it up.

  • @gamefreak1000000 that article was made in 2006, 5 years ago and i didnt see any studys about 68% of users moving to harder drugs. 5 years is a long time to prove a theory wrong, which has been proven wrong. i recommend you watch documentaries about cannabis and articles that are up to date. studies have shown that if you use cannabis, it will not cause any harm. all im trying to say that weed dous more good then bad. legalize. cigs are laced with 200+ chemicals, ever thought of that.

  • @rimacho14 Yes I know alcohol, cigarettes, etc are all bad for you and I am not trying to justify them in any way. However, making up facts about weed helping you in life and making you successful and making you smart is all a lie. You don't get smart by smoking weed. If that was true, I'd be smoking weed 24/7. However, that is not the case because in the public school I used to go to, pot heads looked like losers and their intelligence wasn't very good. Again, I am NOT saying that cigs are good

  • @gamefreak1000000 i am not making up anything. i am very smart by the way. smoking weed doud not effect you intelligence whats so ever.

  • @rimacho14 Then can you explain to me why the majority of kids in the public school I used to go to looked like a bunch of losers and all discuss about weed? Not saying you're a loser, but it's just the fact that when I hear people talking about the joints they smoked, they look like trash. Can you explain that?

  • @gamefreak1000000 thats how you look at them, alot of AP students back in my old schools used and grow weed. nothing wrong with talking about a joint you smoked, its like talking about the battlefiend 3 beta testing you just played.

  • @rimacho14 Yeah, but what do you exactly gain by smoking weed? I mean, in Battlefield (correct me if I'm wrong), people play to improve their ranks and brag about it to their friends. There's an accomplishment in video gaming since most people aim to get a high rank. However, smoking weed doesn't have any ranks. Am I missing something here or what? What bragging rights are there when you smoke weed? I'm just extremely curious that is all!

  • @gamefreak1000000 well if you must know, when people brag about cannabis, they brag about how good the crop is. Its like saying, oh i had the best steak ever, well i just had the best strain ever.. cannabis users are proud they have such a uniqie plant. growers are proud that they just made a wonderfull harvest, to eat,smoke, or vaperize etc.. i love to cook and braging about how good your steak is, is the same thing about braging about how good you mary jane is. cannabis growers are farmers.

  • @rimacho14 BTW MY 'MATOES R BETTER THAN UR SKUNK ;)

  • @gamefreak1000000 I can answer that, Our bragging rights are coming from how economical our grow is and the fact the we are also being environmentally responsible. We do make comments on the nature of the medical marijuana, you usually use different types for different results during the day or week. Some are better for deep stabbing pain that you need to dull others are better for a nagging pain you just want to put out of your mind. Like it to getting a secret code to unlock something

  • Ron Paul is a Republican only because he couldn't get elected as a Libertarian or Democrat in his district in Texas. In the presidential election in 2008 Ron Paul finished 7th in a field of 10. He pulled off a victory over Gloria La Riva and Brian K. Moore whoever the hell they are. Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, could beat Ron Paul.

  • @BobbyWarrenMiller That's because 90% of people in America don't give a damn about politics and have their heads up their asses. The fact that Sarah Palin still has any followers proves that people don't pay any attention to the details that matter.

  • I'm no fan of the Bush administration, but Frank is way off base on his blame. Affordable housing legislation was being introduced over 30 years ago.

  • Barney Frank the bumbling idiot.

  • Ben bernanki Time magizines man of the year.. he should be on the terrorist hit list.

  • Google and ask Is Obama a communist? You may be surprised at the ties he has with the Communist Party. His book was written by a comminuist. I see his policies more along the lines of socialism. Thanks to the internet we can find out a tremendous about our government.

  • @oldman66able maybe you should use that internet to learn what socialism really is, and then re-evaluate your statement.

  • How did Barney Frank got a job?

  • If Ron Paul had been elected president he may have made thing better before the elite had him assassinated. Look at history every president that has tried to eliminate the Federal Reserve system over the years has been, or attempted to be, assassinated. And then the following government has put the reserve system back in. The elite wont be stopped unless the whole world stood up to them and took them down. They control most politicians, media, U.N, and all big business. Most ppl dont believe it.

  • ron paul > chuck norris + obama + god + jesus + corrupt government of the U.S.A.

  • barney fag

    

  • barney frank... what a mumblin studderin jackass...

  • I love so much Ron Paul that I almost feel Republican!

  • is barney frank gay?

  • remember, this guy has to wake up and see himself in the mirror everyday. fate worse than death

  • The solution to so many of our problems: DON'T vote for millionaires/billionaires republicans/dems, those with ties to the financial sector/military sector/big business, and INCUMBENTS.

    We have an electorate informed by Fox News of course we are going to be dominated by corporations. There is no Liberal bias in the media! It's just a ploy to make you think anything liberal is EVIL.

  • Comment removed

  • I am glad they just talked instead of fighting, at least they kept on topic. Ron Paul 2012

  • It sounds like he still has the dick in his mouth

  • I hate the fat guy's voice lol not being mean here, just keeping it real lol

  • Barney should go back to hunting wabbits.

  • Yes ishh uhh duhh shing uhh I'm Bawney Fwank budd I, I dink dat duhh ding is good and im Bawney Fwank.

  • Barney Frank is a fucking piece of shit and needs to lose the next god damn election. The man DEFINITELY contributed to the housing crisis. Ron Paul is the only man right for America. Vote Ron Paul in 2012!

  • Love that now they are working together :)

  • barney frank is such a liar, he was a massive supporter of freddie and fannie and coincidently a massive idiot.

  • Barney Fwank

  • This is why TV is not an ideal way to conduct political discourse, they guys cannot stay on tract or on subject. It started as a discussion about the healthcare bill, and instantly turned to foreign policy, then housing, then regulation. Those are good subjects, and should be discussed, but one at a time so real points and discourse can be made.

  • Do you smell the fear in Barney Frank? He should be afraid, very afraid . He lucked out that Ron Paul kept his cool

  • 4:24 Barney Frank is a liar

    Check out the clip entitled "Barney Frank What Housing Bubble?" on youtube. He was pushing sub-prime garbage at the height of the housing market scam. Probably he was getting kickbacks or lobby money from the real estate industry.

  • Hahahahaha. I hope Barney sticks around so I can laugh everytime he speaks.

  • Barney Frank supports abortion. Fuck his ass.

  • @youknowwhoyouare8

    he supports CHOICE, big difference

    when you put it like that

  • So when you put it in the context of choice, I guess it is alright that someone can kill their baby because they feel they are unfit to care for it. There are places like adoption agencies for people who WOULD take care of that child, and to put it in even terms, those who have abortions should learn to use protection ;)

  • @youknowwhoyouare8

    sure no doubt, but its still a choice and its up to the individual

  • Comment removed

  • Ron Paul is the only person in Congress that is worth his paycheck. I think every Republican who voted for McCain instead of Ron Paul in the primaries should have their heads examined.

  • @AfricanButtScratcha Heh, but many who voted for Paul in the primaries had their votes "interpreted" as McCain my the voting machines.

  • @AfricanButtScratcha I think his best attribute is his ability to take complex economic situations and translate them into easily understandable concepts.

  • @AfricanButtScratcha they were paid to leave their brains at home... money, along with the threats associated with money, have something to do with it thats all i can say...

  • @AfricanButtScratcha they voted McCain largely because they needed a harmless scapegoat to suck up the Bush backlash they knew was coming.Besides we are talking about republicans here. Ron Paul may run as a republican, but hes against the bulk of what the GOP stands for. Its unlikely that he will win the nod this primary either, because he takes stances that are contradictory to GOP policies. Honestly though I think Ron Paul doesnt really understand that things arent as simple as in 1937

  • Ron Paul nailed it again. As a supporter of health care, I'm completely against Paul on this one...but he predicted a weak bill and we got a weak bill. Voila.

  • I hated the Bush admin. But to hear Barney Frank blame the housing mess entirely on them is laughable.

    Barney Frank was one of the most causal figures in housing bubble. Ive watched videos of him fighting tooth and nail to keep regulation off of Freddie and Fannie.

    Oh and at 5:40. The reason those banks were making all those loans was because they knew Fannie and Freddie would buy them from them.

    Backwards people always think Ron Paul has it backwards.

  • @chaseef

    Yeah, Frank was talking about how sound Freddie and Fannie were in 2003. I noticed Larry King is really in the tank for government run health care.

  • @chaseef BINGO! I am an investor and realtor. I know the truth too. The banks did not even use their own money half the time. They were more or less order takers and then shoved it into Fannie's asshole, with little regulation

  • @JewsWr3ckNations looollll i cant argue with that.good luck:P

  • @JewsWr3ckNations he may be a fag but look where he is and where you are.

  • LOL. Even with all the media control, everybody is afraid to debate Ron Paul. They become stumbling, mumbling sycophants when they debate this guy. The establishment is shaking in its boots. LOL! Frank pretended F. Mae and F. Mac were solvent until weeks before their collapse. He's a true politician for trying to talk his way out of that. "I supported rental housing", while he was blowing the head of F. Mae. Yet he still missed the point, because he doesn't trust or understand the free market.

  • Private citizens lending to private citizens is identified as a problem? This country is screwed with people like Barney Frank at the helm.

  • It sounds like Dean0000007 can only relate to Hollywood reality.

  • wow ron paul is the first reasonable republican I've seen in a long time

  • Ron Paul made a great comment at the end!

  • Seems to me Ron Paul wants the old Wild West type civilization. Low government, the Sherriff took care of the law, the judge could sentence to death by hangine, other than that nothing government.

  • @Dean0000007 You sir are an idoit. You have no idea what libertarianism is.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dean0000007 no, read his policies

  • No, you give an intelligent reply on his policies. I've given you my interpretation of them. What he promotes is not much different than government in the old west. If you don't see that you're an idiot and don't know anything. Prove me wrong, I'd love the challenge.

  • The West was mild, not wild. More death and destruction occurred in the East than the Anarchy parts of the west until States started claiming lands and intervening.

  • Custer would have been very interested in your opinion.

  • part1:/watch?v=w5ENtG3B8CQ

    2part:/watch?v=rvEod8Ljfu0

  • Little BigHorn: 323 casualties.

    Gettysburg: 51,112 casualties. Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Caldwell, Dodge City. The railheads of the big cattle drives. what is regarded as the most violent part of the "Wild West"

    1870-85: 45 homicides. 3 per year. The whole mythology of the "wildest" part of the "wild" west, rest in 3 murders per year. The deaths you can see in a few seconds of gunfight in most westerns.

  • Will you include some of the big depressions that happened in the old west? How many people went hungry? Bring up some of the unemployment numbers from the "panics" (=depression recessions of years gone by), before the Federal Reserve. Check out the depression of 1893, 1837, 1819. If people think that "hands off" policies are going to change the ups and downs of economics they are absolute fools.

  • I see. So now suddenly the issue with the "hands off" policies is not violence.

    Were the great depression or the 70s milder that those?

    In economy there will be always ups and downs, but it is funny that the depressions you point out were milder than the "Fed depressions". And at the end of the 19th century you could buy more goods and services with a dollar that at the beggining of it.

    Could you say the same now with a 1913 post Fed, 98% devalued dollar?

  • Hands off policies create violence, it's human nature and the inner evil that needs control. However that control should be in the form of the constitutional constraints NOT the patriot act. The patriot act is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

    I don't know that the depressions were milder, perhaps were shorter... However, I don't want any system that unemployes me for a short or long term. Something else must be created.

  • 98% devalued currency, yet people are living better than they ever have until now. Yes there is manipulation of inflation through the money supply. Money would need to be backed by more than just precious metals, the population wouldn't be supported by a currency made from metals. There would need to be a stringent factor attaching the currency to all non perishable commodities.

  • Well, people were living better than ever before in 1913 too. How do you the wouldnt be living even better now without goverment oppresion and fake money?

    And, how exactly currency support people? People eat money? people get shelter putting money over their heads? people travel putting money under their feets?

  • People satisfy their needs consuming goods and services. The only difference between private money, freedom money, money chosen by the people ie gold, and fake goverment money foced onto people using violence, is that with the inmense progress producing good and services that comes with liberty, with private money, money worth more, and with fake money govement can rob at will.

  • "Some" people were living better in 1913. I read history books to learn whether we are living better today than then. Today we have social programs, health programs, to help people during hard times. What did people have in 1913. Are you proposing there was no unemployment in 1913?

    Believe it or not the US dollar is backed by something and that is oil. The world is trading oil in the US green back, that is why it hasn't collapsed up til now. It will collapse when that changes though.

  • It's the value of money that feeds people, if the value of the currency is nothing like Zimbabwe then it doesn't feed anyone.

  • Ron Paul would have done well under Darwin, survival of the fittest, no intervention.  Not much different than old England, the people with money and influence kept it in the family, the US has morphed into that model short the monarchy. Free market is a myth, it's corrupt just as much as government is.

  • Makes me wonder if you even watched the videos.

    Free Market is not a myth. Its not one entity that is corrupt. Its a voluntary free associating system that takes place from interaction, it emerges, its the most accountable, and the most successful process you will ever have amongst the odds of evil men. This notion of plunder and chaos has absolutely nothing to do with Anarchism, and everything to do with Statism. You confused much of Anarchy for a collapsed state. Its not tribalism.

  • You don't understand, evil men corrupt free market, capitalism, socialism, communism,... The US was the freeist market in the world, and now it is in the most trouble. Free market purists don't see what is going on. They blindly think that the status quo is good enough, it isn't. George Bush was totally free market, totally into giving the rich tax breaks. He didn't turn to bailing out (fascism not socialism) banks til everything started crashing around him.

  • The US was near a Free Market but it was still a tiny State... No the Status quo is bullshit, its not good. Are you telling me you think what the U.S. has is a Free Market? That this is Capitalism? George Bush is a Fascist, not for Free Markets that was all propaganda. Statism corrupts the market, prevents it from functioning, takes out the risk, the contracts...

    All taxation is extortion, and the "rich" is very misleading term....

  • or free market corrupted the state. They sued to legalize lobbying, which is legalized paying off of politicians. Look it up. The greed of free market tore up the constitution. Politicians don't go to wallstreet looking for money, 95% of lobbyists are in Washington where they have easy access to politicians. I believe that lobbying should be a felony for both politician, company represented and the lobbyist. 10 year minimum sentence, no time off for good behaviour.

  • No, the State is corrupt and always has been, they are a group of people laying claim to others property by force. Blaming the market itself is like blaming the peasants..

    Naturally a Capitalism wants to remove his competitors, but this should only be done by market forces. (better prices, better product, better services) The State has forbidden power, and thus evil men go there to abuse it; for the power to abuse.

  • Nah, other way around the state has been corrupted by free marketers that have benefitted greatly in the free market. Small businesses of centuries past have turned into corporations. Corporations run the show, not government. The corporate greed has gotten the US into the trouble it is in today. When you tell me that corporations aren't lobbying gov't to tax the people so that corporations can turn around and corral that big fat government contract then you might be on to something.

  • A Corporation is a fictional person created by the legality of the State. Corporations are pretty much branches of the Government, but the State itself is a Coercive Monopoly with the power steal from you in many more ways and does not operate on a budget while the Corporation can charge the monopoly rate but still operate on budget ; however, with the State ever so involved they crave out the borders and create the environment that you are forced to use such service (usually utility) or else.

  • Yes corporations are branches of government because they sued to legalize lobbying in the late 1800's. They made themselves "persons" with "persons rights" through the legal system, forcing their will on the people. Corporations are branches of government, but they are really the executive branch that has the real control. The president is bound by many rules and is fought by congress at every turn. Corporations own Congress.

  • I will add, please don't say it was because the politicians made banks lend big homes to little people that the market crashed. The bailout money would have bailed every person in a forclosed home, there is something more sinister going on behind the scenes. Unfortunately free market private banks and the federal reserve won't let us see all the toxic assets they've cooked up.

  • You have the Political Ruling Class, the Productive Class, and the Unproductive Class.

    Naturally with Statism the wealth and massive profits are in the Ruling class (not all) but in that class yes, because of lands grants, laws and regulatory bureaucracy that has nothing to do with security just protection for lobbyists as they are mandates and barriers.

    The Unproductive class (majority) is entirely full of poor, unemployed and jobs that provide no real future economic growth.

  • I'm sorry, that's just plain ignorance on your part. There are people out of work that won't work flipping burgers and gradually bankrupting themselves to make someone else rich. Executives (supposedly the productive ones) and workers ratio in pay has jumped 7 fold in the last 30 years. Something wrong with that picture. Flipping burgers is actually not easy work, go try it, you might learn something about real work and how the productive people really do make society run.

  • How can you even blame the market when you got the 3rd National Bank (Federal Reserve) devaluing a currency that everyone is held at gun point to accept; which is around 98% devalued and dropping.

    When I said Productive Class, I wasn't talking about Wall Street... I was talking about people with savings and capital that actually have the buck in the first place to make loans (with discrimination otherwise everyone loses) that create real investments which in turn grow themselves.

  • Check out all the recessions and depressions BEFORE the federal reserve act of 1913. It is corrupted free market, greed, political interference by lobbyists, and a failed system that has gotten us to this point. Bush did indeed expand gov't, but look at where it was expanded, security, military, etc... social programs took all the cuts. Low and behold the economy is on the edge of an abyss at the end of his presidency.

  • If the market is corrupted than its not free to Interact meaning there are barriers, thus not actually a Free Market. It doesn't mean free stuff, it means the freedom to voluntary associate with who you want.

    Every President inherited a mess, Bush inherited a mess from Clinton, his father, Reagan, Carter etc.. and he made it worse like Obama. Its more of the same just on a grander scale, borrow money, print money, intervention in all fields.

  • Yes, the barriers protect the American modern family. Until "Free trade" the American family prospered, now the "free trade" means we must compete with the typical chinese worker who has no benefits, works for dimes on the day. American society "as a whole, not just the rich", will crumble because of it. Protectionism should be renamed to preservation of the middle class.

  • The so called Free Trades are another form of Protectionism not actually free trade, actually the cost of goods go down on a real market, but not necessary wages. They actually rise when you have more productivity. I am sure you also think legislated wages are a good thing, when again its another distortion among the market place price fixing someone's labor. I go back to blaming the dollar/value/hostage to a fiat currency about wages and decline of living standards, thanks to the State.
