Inside Story US 2012 - Who can fix the US economy?

[MegaVisualman]

Obama had solutions, but failed to implement them, because his bills had to be passed and werent.. The California rail network could have created over 100000 jobs, but they are still arguing abt it.. Ron Paul 2012.

[JavelBleach]

The Federal Reserve is a private institution, run and OWNED by a small cartel of excessively rich Bankers.

But y'all knew that, huh?

[JavelBleach]

Required: Global Minimum income, yes; Global Maximum income, MANDATORY!

ALL individual income over $1m/year should be taxed 100%. NO-one "works hard" to that point. And "Success" should be measured in how much you GIVE!

But it goes soooo much further still. Think about it.

[dj4monie]

Somebody also said Ron Paul was against the War On Drugs. The problem with that is its a typical Libertarian point of view of getting the Government out of my personal space (out of my house, out of my bedroom). While its effected People of Color dis-proportionally, I'm not sure his stance is more about morals or ideology. I say let Dr Paul win the nomination and let's have a debate on all these concerns.

[sk8tafrnk]

@dj4monie After re-checking Ron Paul's policies, I'd rather have Obama than Ron Paul.

The huge problem with Ron Paul is he wants to abolish taxes completely. That is a God awful thing to do. Every successful capitalist society has developed because of government intervention and social programs.

Pile on top of that the fact that, who cares if we're saving money by not going to war if corporations took complete control? Our wages would be as low as China, but worse.

[johnnnyboi123]

Ron Paul is a defender of the constitution. He doesn't want his country involved in policing the world. And has a clear understanding of symmetrical warfare. Look at 9/11 and why the al qaida is so pissed off. It rhymes with invasion. NATO/us drops bombs people over there get scared/angry, innocent people get affected. I couldn't imagine having to live in an environment full of drone attacks and political rhetoric and bullshit and natural resources

[virtuvianTrace]

and ron paul would be ok if he weren't a Texan bigot and i would like him if he weren't funded by the neo-nazi's and KKK members.

[virtuvianTrace]

Obama is not a fool he is a liar he lied about everything he said he would do when elected. he is also a hypocrite because he is as corrupt as the presidents before him.

[KitKat5533]

and wall street protest will get much bigger and be come to be mabe roits... it the only the beging sorry my last comment got mest up sorry

[KitKat5533]

well the USA is in very bad state and we need to do something FAST... or usa canada and many other nations will look like greece or other nations in the midde east and the wall street protest will get bigger and the states and canada and many other nations will look like greece and/or middie east

[Bander1]

Who will fix the US economy in 2012...

NO ONE...

[yourtreat2]

@Bander1 You got that right. People are fooling themselves. There are over 1 MILLION defaulted loans that have NOT been processed as Foreclosures by vbarious banks and mortagage companies. This purpose of this decption is simple. In order to ensure the appearance of a profitable company, or just a company that is not near bankruptcy, there are BILLIONS of dollars loans that remain unrecognized as being unaccounted for.

The Foreclosure proceedings & economic failure begin to be felt shortly.

[foresakenlion]

Capital gains tax was originally invented to punish people that profited off of doing things like stock trading, because work is a scientific term, and it does not apply to making money off bets, work would be a steel worker, or a farmer... good examples, therefore since they didn't provide any real WORK, they have to pay a special tax for gaining money for doing NO WORK, if you study 1900-40s America you will see a disdain for bankers as lazy people, needed, but lazy.

[antjeisback]

Clement Attlee?

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WENT INTO THE MENTAL ASYLUM AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY -Bill Maher

[Abbadon380]

IM INDIAN I SUPPORT RON PAUL BECAUSE THE REST ARE RETARDS(except obama) RON PAUL IS medicore BUT HES BETTER THAN THE OTHER VOTE FOR HIM OR YOUR COUNTRY WILL SCREW THE WORLD OVER

[onewhosubmits]

[apagoogoo]

spoil your ballot. if you don't vote, your disgust will be misinterpreted as apathy. if you vote, your vote will be misconstrued by the elite as obsequious compliance.

[kaiagavin]

fuel food fiber, paper plastic medicine, stronger softer textiles that do not require chemicals to create, cleaner land, air and environment. work for our farmers, families and businesses. a return to a focus or "real crime" with "real" victims. all this and so much more from a natural organic plant. not to mention a return to an honest approach to the laws of the land. HEMP.

[admiralcrash1]

sure see alot of ron paul campaigning on this page...how is any one man gonna fix anything exactly?....and, home long will that take? RON PAUL FOR SHOGUN 2012! he he he dum fuckers.

[dapop1001]

@admiralcrash1 "The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. "Chinese Proverb

[admiralcrash1]

@dapop1001 Politicians will always be politicians, and the herd mentality of false "Hope" being played on every few years for the last few hundred years is an all too common scenario in this land of freedum. ~Having Common Sense ;-)

[dapop1001]

@admiralcrash1 Only 56.8% of adult Americans voted in 2008, slightly over half of the people picked our leader. Change dosent just happen and it dosent happen over night. The happiest thing that can be said about democracy... is that it is one of the few systems that has been willing to risk a long period of confusion and mixed purposes for the sake of giving man a chance to grow up in mind and responsibility. ~H.A. Overstreet ~ Voteing is common sence. ;-))

[BonBon3589]

RON PAUL

[MoronHunterD]

DONALD TRUMP!!! w/Unkel Herman as VP.

[zad546]

Al Jazeera is bullshit. . Working for Banking industry... NWO is link to Al Jazeera as well.. whats wrong with Al jazeera saying that 8.6% jobless. its not true its 22.5% and why they dont show Ron Paul. Al jazeera working for NWO. what they done in Arab Countries . Only blame Al jazeera.

[IC1101]

RON PAUL IS THE WORST!!!

HE COMES FROM AUSTRIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS HE WANTS TO CUT ALL TAXES ON THE RICH YOU DUMBASSES

HE IS ALSO AGAINST THEORY OF EVOLUTION AGAINST ABORTION

HE IS THE WORST REPUBLICANS OUT OF ALL OF THE YOU IGNORANT CHEERLEADERS

[DurzaGaiden]

@IC1101 Maybe that's because he's not like the other Republicans. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Unlike most of the others, he has an M.D., which means he knows a lot more about the human body than the average bureaucrat. As a physician, Paul routinely lowered fees or worked for free and refused to accept Medicaid or Medicare payments. He's delivered thousands of babies, so I can understand his stance on abortion. Where are you getting your information about his stance on evolution?

[IC1101]

@DurzaGaiden BUT DONT YOU GET IT... HE WORKS FOR THE RICH TO... HE SAID HE BELONGS TO AUSTRIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS!! DO YOU KNOW THAT MEANS HE WANTS TO CUT TAXES ON THE RICH AND DEREGULATE MARKET??? YOU'RE A FOOL

[DurzaGaiden]

@IC1101 Government regulation of the market is only as effective as the government itself, and the legislation it uses. A current example of poor legislation: the Stop Online Piracy Act. Not only does it fail to stop online piracy, but it also has the potential to allow abuse and censorship, as well as frighten potential innovators from making anything new.

How exactly am I a fool if you're the one typing in all caps?

[HDaviator]

@IC1101

Frankly, I don't care if the guy is against evolution or abortion. I am an atheist but I can tell the the guy is honest, and at this point I have given up trying to find someone that agrees with me 100% on the issues. Obama is incompetent along with all of the other republican candidates. Ron Paul is honestly, the only choice we have. You might consider it the best of the worst but we should at least give the guy a chance.

[IC1101]

@HDaviator Ok tell me on what issues do you support Ron Paul?

[HDaviator]

@IC1101

I like his non-intervention foreign policy. I like that he wants to make Israel independent which would in allot of ways stop us from being a target of terrorists. I honestly like allot of his positions, but most of all I like that he isn't a puppet of his party. He has voted against his party on many issues including being against the patriot act. I don't agree with everything he says but I agree with his character. Read up on his positions and you might come to feel the same.

[IC1101]

@HDaviator The biggest problem in the US is inequality and economy. Those are issues where Ron Paul is dead wrong. He wants to decrease taxes on the rich and deregulate market. He is anarcho capitalist. He is also against evolution against abortion etc... he is the worst republican out of all of them you fucking idiots!

[HDaviator]

@IC1101

Being against evolution and abortion is nothing new for a republican but he also thinks that those maters should be handled by the individual states and not the federal government. Also, saying he is the worst republican when people like Bachman and Perry are certifiable idiots and New Gingrich is a neo con is just BS. As far as the economy, he is opposed to fiat currency and wants to return to the gold standard. That is by far the best thing anyone could do for the economy.

[AK8591]

There is global doom on the horizon, the GOP won't be the only casually in the coming days

[dj4monie]

The GOP is doomed, being apart of Occupy LA, I can tell you that some serious sh*t is coming down and don't think there won't be a 3rd Party creep into the discussion combined with MASSIVE, SWEEPING changes in the Congress. Of course lilly White areas of the country will say firmly Red State/GOP havens, not much you can do about that. Cultural Warfare is what they enjoy most.

[dj4monie]

I agree with about 50% of what Ron Paul says, its on social/society/cultural issues LONG STANDING in this country that I don't agree with. His own son said he wouldn't have voted for any of the Civil Rights Laws that were signed in 1957 or 1968, effectively making him a serious bigot at the least and akin to David Duke at worst. Letting public shame squash racism against African-Americans??? These are the issues that worry Progressives and Liberals about the Paul Family.

[dj4monie]

@dreamdiction Because the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to issues like this. I have friends that have rejected their families racist views about people but it seldom happens the other way around. Of course it could be Dog Whistle Politics which is likely more troubling.

[dapop1001]

@dj4monie If you do your research you will find that Ron Paul is not a bigot. The veiw he has in regaurds to the drug war and other laws that unfairly targeted the black community should be proof of this. You should ask Jessy Jackson what he thinks of Ron Paul. Or the black people in his district that have been voteing for him for over 20 yrs after he was accused of being racist. Ron Paul is the most anti-racist because he dosent see people in collective groups, he sees individules

[sk8tafrnk]

@dapop1001 Only the people can fix this. We don't need a president. We need to totally trash the system we have because it's garbage. We need to establish some sort of direct democracy.

Ron Paul has the war thing right but his economic polices would be disastrous. What countries have free markets, you may ask? China, Russia, Africa... need I go on? If you want our country to improve forget this ridiculous election thing. Have some self respect. Honestly, we're smarter than this.

[dapop1001]

@sk8tafrnk If we can "establish some sort of direct democracy" before the election I will be happy to participate, if not I will vote for Ron Paul. I think his economic policies would help those produceing something, this country has become to top heavy with managers, buracrats, politicians and bosses that are all makeing a profit from the few that are produceing. Protest are our constitutionally gaurenteed voice, the vote is our constitutional power to make change. The voice was hear

[dapop1001]

@dapop1001 Our voice was heard, now is the time to put all of our voices together and pick a candidate that will represent us. If there is to be change it will come from men like you and I. If we do not take over the system we will only be allowing those who do use it, to use it against us. They have worked hard to disenfranchise us so that theirs is the only voice heard. In 2008 only 56.8% of Americans voted, thus around 30% picked our last president. Please help make a difference.

[dapop1001]

@dapop1001 Please watch Dave Meslin-- The antidote to Apathy from TedTalks on you tube. When you give up your vote you allow them to take over the system and control you with it. "Every man builds his world in his own image, he has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. If he abdicates his power, he abdicates the power of man, and the grinding chaos of the irrational is what he achieves." Ayn Rand "Be the change you want to see." ~ Gandhi

[sk8tafrnk]

@dapop1001 As long as you don't think that Ron Paul is our saving grace above all then you're alright haha.

We just need to try and start conversations about all this to get this movement thing really going. Unfortunately, things are probably going to have to get tremendously worse before people get it.

Really conservative thinkers will probably be in a position where can't find a job in all honestly, and their main concern will be trying to find out how they got so lazy.

[dapop1001]

@sk8tafrnk I saw direct democracy meetings at OWS in NYC on the news so I went to visit Boston OWS to try to participate but they were marching that day. There are people in the streets in almost every country in the world, even Russia and China. If we can unite we can rid ourselves of the corupt bankers, but if we fail to unite and allow them to pit us against eachother we are looking at the end of the world for most of the population. United we stand divided we will perish! Peace

[sk8tafrnk]

@dapop1001 I agree with that but after re-checking Ron Paul's policies, I'd rather have Obama as president.

The problem with Ron Paul is he wants to abolish taxes completely. That is a God awful thing to do. Every successful capitalist society has developed because of government intervention and social programs.

Pile on top of that the fact that, who cares if we're saving money by not going to war if corporations took complete control? Our wages would be as low as China, but worse.

[dapop1001]

@sk8tafrnk He dosent want to abolish taxes altogether, just income tax. You still have capital gains, estate, sales, tarrifs, alcohol,tobaco, food, gasoline. property, and alot of other taxes. If you cut spending you dont have to tax so much. Obama has lied about everything he has opened his mouth about. Gitmo, transpearancy in government, patriot act, end wars, regulate to big to fail corporations, leave medicine to states, and stop starting new wars of aggression. Obama is a liar

[dj4monie]

@sk8tafrnk True, if people read about or saw the economic inequality in Africa, China (SE Asia in general) and Russia, people here wouldn't be in such a hurry to be anti-union and against anti-poverty measures. Bloomberg news recently discovered that Victoria Secret was using unpaid labor in one of Africa's "Free Trade" zones for its 2010/2011 line of adult wear.

[dj4monie]

@dapop1001 If he sees people as individuals that's perfectly okay. But again that's assuming the playing field is level when it isn't. I never said he was racist in the sense that he's said anything in public. Those newsletters were released around the Rodney King Riots say things that he never approved (of course!!!!!) but it is possible staffers said those things in which case they should be fired.

[Nimthiriel86]

remove all military bases over the world, reduce military size overall and reduce your debt per year ?!? take money from rich and take less from your industry (small and middle companies), the last 14 years of my life i wonder WHY people make such a sience about things everyone can see. Oh right Winter is coming... and you have to know your enemy.

[dell1940]

Obama is a fool .... trust Obama yea ok .  Vote Ron Paul 2012

[yourtreat2]

@dell1940

Ron Paul supports Reagan's "Voodoo Economics" (unregulated Capitalism), i.e. Anarchistic Capitalism: an economic system that ultimately provides business with all rights, more freedom & lower taxes than people. THIS PAVED THE WAY FOR AN OLIGARCHY that runs the government, NOT The People.

AN OLIGARCHY tells you what to think, and your dumb-ass swallows it whole like a back street whore, Get an education.

[swiftyXify]

@dell1940 its not obama its the republic

[dapop1001]

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.- A Lincoln. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." ~ T Jefferson If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. J F K

[Nolen87]

USA GDP in 1945 had exploded into a monopoly on industry because the rest of the world had been bombed back into the stone age. Also was a major time of the European countries trying to retain their old colonies. Plus the damn near constant state of war in Asia with the spread of communism.

Also bubbles happen *NOT* because of deregulation, but because of selective enforcement. Which then allows for massive insider information/trading. And also leads into the ability for corruption to occur.

[GreatDepressionTwo]

(((((RON PAUL))))) One Option; One Choice.

[satinspringsarabians]

@kuktahamham I don't think throwing out the KKK is going to help Dr. Ron Paul , best to leave it out if you really want to support him.

[Nolen87]

@satinspringsarabians He clearly isn't a Ron Paul supporter. It's push shill 101 mate. To put off the façade that a Ron Paul support is of that so said nature. Cheers!

[eflip1]

@kuktahamham ron paul ain't with kkk. you stupid fuck! go troll some other place.

[jalopy221]

RON PAUL 2012

[DurzaGaiden]

@jalopy221 @dell1940 Make sure you're registered to vote Republican for the primaries. Otherwise they won't let you vote for him.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@DurzaGaiden Can you b.t.w. tell me why they have this idiotic backwarded voter-registration laws? I mean I study political science, but I can't think of any argument for voter-registration the way you guys do it.

[DurzaGaiden]

@TheRacistsMustDie I have absolutely no idea why they do it that way. Like you said, it doesn't make any sense.

[yourtreat2]

@jalopy221

Ron Paul gave unwavering support for Reagan's "Voodoo Economics"

(Anarchistic Capitalism), the objective being the demise of the Lower & Middle Classes, Education & 40 yrs of progressive Social Programs.

"Anarchistic Capitalism": Defined:as:

1)The deregulation of ALL business & unregulated globalization, ultimately resulting in the demise of domestic infrastructure to decimated the Lower & Middle Classes.

2) Ensure an Oligarchy controls the US & ALL wealth

watch?v=UxPoURzProE

[sk8tafrnk]

@jalopy221 No. Ron Paul has the war thing right but he wants a free market economy. Take all the problems the U.S. has, and make them much, much worse is what free market economy spells out.

Look at China... do you want the U.S. to be like that? I don't. Our government is so screwed up, why do you think even the perfect president is going to make it better? We need direct democracy. Grass roots programs are the only way in history countries have pulled out of our situation.

[408Magenta]

Who in hell is going to trust this guy now?? He's a pathological liar.

[Redfingers]

They need to actually prosecute fraud and stop throwing trillions of dollars at insolvent banks.
