@xusercx2000 you should research why he voted the way he did. You should know that the corporations write the regulations to keep out competition. Besides capital gains tax being zero he wants your income tax to be zero. So everyone gets to keep the money they EARN not take from someone else
Occupiers need to understand what they're fighting; they're fighting big government, and the lucrative connection they have with big business. Big business alone isn't to blame; it's why you have starbucks, apple, facebook, etc. The problem is when it works hand in hand with government. That's called corruption and corporatism, it's un-capitalistic and un-American. The sooner occupiers realize this, the sooner they'll unite with the tea party, and the sooner America will rally against the system

I garentee 99% of those OWSers are now Ron Paul supporters :D I support Ron Paul 2012 AND Occupy Wall Street. I occupy because, We've overthrown democratic leaders, not for the people, For the wall street journal readers! I occupy because we've killed 10s of thousands of civilains in these foriegn occupations. I Occupy to Resist Martial Law/Police State. I Occupy to expose the coming opression. I Occupy to get our troops out of the meat grinder of endless war. OCCUPY with Ron Paul 2012
@rycan84 OWS is a pro-State movement. They are not anti "oppression" they are anti "inequality", which of course has nothing to do with Liberty. One sign said, "Equality now, Liberty later". The ignorance or dishonesty of that comment reveals the evil lurking in this movement. They don't believe in Rights when they claim they have a "right" to a free education. They are the indoctrinated who beg for more government. They chose an issue (bailouts, economy) to get support - purely tactical.
@xuserx2000 Ron paul is anti-tax for everyone .. not just 1% ... there is no point regulating the wall street while the root cause of the issue in the infinite money supply from federal reserve. ..

Dr. Ron Paul is so damn awesome! Those OWS people have no idea what they are doing, they just want to scream at anyone who calls themselves a "Republican." They aren't screaming about Obama, even though he gave Trillions of dollars to the Banks and Corporations.
The longer we keep these false corrupt leaders in office, the deeper and longer our economic winter will be. Don’t just vote for Ron Paul…..be active and campaign for him as hard as you can…it is literally the most important thing you can do for your country, family and self right now. Ron Paul 2012!!
He is on your side. He is not only the best candidate, he is the only candidate that has our interests at heart. Do your homework OWS!! Ron Paul is not your enemy, he is your greatest ally!!! If you think Obama or the other clowns are the answer, you are sorely mistaken. We are going to have big problems regardless, because we live by the good graces of China’s cheap goods, lending and constraining their currency and consumption. That can’t/won’t last.
Ron handles confrontation so well. He is confident, because he knows he is on the right path and will not stray. OWS 99% protesting Ron Paul is like my dad used to say “cutting off your nose to spite your face”…..makes no damn sense! Do we need to pass out copies of Ron’s books….I recommend Revolution, a Manifesto (It could be called the guidebook to the coming Occupy movement, for all practical purposes).
It is so ironic to me that these OCW protestors are yelling it out to Ron Paul when Ron Paul has been saying what they are saying all along ,they don't know much about Ron Paul pretty pathetic really.
The occupy group I was affiliated with was totally in support of ONLY Paul. (literally, they felt anarchy was better than Rommney/Obama but Paul would have been the best possible choice).
Occupy Ron Paul?? The guy who is responsible for the partial audit of the Fed and only candidate fighting for We The People?? You guys just hurt your own cause. Get informed if you want people to take you seriously.
wow they disrespect Ron Paul... seriously. Maybe they should check Ron Paul and his positions... by the way, as long as money exists, there will be a gap between the rich and the poor.
The OWS protesters think they are rebelling against the establishment but actually they are rebelling FOR the establishment. I hope it will become clear to them after they check into what Ron Paul is saying.
"A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny." -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) Russian novelist, Soviet dissident, imprisoned for 8 years for critizing Stalin in a personal letter, Nobel Prize for Literature, 1970 The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they can’t be taken away by the government. M Connelly 2011
Occupy Wallstreeters are seriously the most ridiculous thing. I understand the dissatisfaction with the current state of the economy and the outrageous pay to CEO's and other exectutives though. I just think that the OW people are very misinformed. The current state of the economy has more to do with the public sectore then it does with the private sector and banks.
The state of FINANCIAL DISTRESS will not be solved by protests or lesser CEO pay.
Free marketing is the only way we could get out of this recession. Why do you think Ron Paul and other austrian free market economists predicted the collapse? while you and your socialists had no idea it was coming...
@GusTurbo look dumbass. stoners in california rely on the free market. michael moore relies on the free market. your neighborhood grocery store relies on the free market. musical instrument makers rely on the free market. computer companies rely on the free market.the internet facilitates the free market quality up, price down? that's a product of the free market. wish we could use this for other industries as well - maybe we would see more choices and an evolving market instead of the opposite.
Moron Occupiers interrupt Ron Paul at a town hall event, clearly showing they don’t even know who the best ally is for fighting the Federal Reserve and the banksters
@chingon711 Government aiming to help the poor is not the same thing as helping them. If you want to give a poor man $100, go give it to him. When the government does it, they tax you $100 and the poor man gets $30.
@phightphan "they tax you $100 and the poor man gets $30."
so your solution is to take away what the destitute depend on even if its less than what is actually taxed...and you indoctrinated tools wonder why Ron Paul doesnt have a snowballs chance in hell of winning.
Ron Paul doesn't give one shit about the 99%...in fact if he has his way, he will end ALL anti poverty programs that are aimed to help the 99%, even at a time like today when joblessness rivals the Great Depression...that is, if the constitution said to jump off the brooklyn bridge, he would do it.
@TRUTHandANSWERS take care of themselves in a system plagued with corruption and record unemployment with absolutely no recovery in sight...you are so fucking unawarely brainwashed and delusional that you would have zero qualms allowing those responsible get off scot-free...no thanks and NO TO WRONG PAUL.
Do you honestly trust the gov taking care of the poor? Are you fucking kidding me? The larger a gov is, the MORE corruption there is. Just think about it. If the gov was small and manageable, people's voices will have a greater impact and lobbyists will have much less influence on a smaller pool of officials. It's because of so many departments and handouts that the government has been able to amass dependence. Yet you still want to expand gov with welfare programs? GTFO
@dalecampbl5 Yes, because people as individuals are corporations believe it or not. Before leaving me a comment telling me I'm a retard go look up the red numbers on birth certificate on the stock market. You'll see your name listed there in bold letters. People are a sell able commodity, Ron Paul is opposed to that kind of B.S.
@dalecampbl5 I know that, the government created a Corporate identity that people believe is them, so that they can be treated like a legal entity. Its called your "Strawman" represented by your birth certificate.
Honestly people SHUT UP. They know that Ron Paul is against corporate greed they just wanted to make a STATEMENT. They did this to other people too, they even did it to Obama! The OWS protesters are more informed and smarter than any of these fucking retards commenting saying that they are ' misinformed' and 'ignorant'.
Why did they interrupt Ron Paul of all people? I mean, I would've been okay with if they actually interrupted because they wanted to publicly challenge Uncle Ron with grievances, but all they did was occupy a floor and, kinda flatly, chanted out rhetoric....I am also a supporter of the Occupy movement, but this demonstration just seemed mindless.
It's official, OWS has been co-oped by the establishment. Establishment hacks are taking advantage of the ignorance of protestors by focusing their anger at the one man that has been railing for decades against big business/financial's collusion with fed gov. How insane is that!
I appreciate the core of what OWS is protesting, but you guys need to do yourselves a favor and educate yourselves on the subject and focus your anger at the proper target...WASHINGTON DC's ESTABLISHMENT!!!
Ron paul is a boss..these ows protesters are yelling at the wrong guy.he was gracious and let them speak..but in the end the ows protesters got schooled..
Didn't anyone notice their cheers for Dr. Paul after his response? Personally, I don't see this "mic check" as them "targeting" Ron Paul. MANY Occupy supporters / protesters are behind Ron Paul because they know what he stands for.
While many may not recognize or realize it yet (including those participating in the protests), RON PAUL is the true leader of the Occupy movement.
DELEGATES DELEGATES DELEGATES! Make sure you vote for the right delegates. In many states the popular vote means NOTHING. The delegates decide everything! NO DELEGATES, NO RON PAUL.....look into the delegate process in your state and consider becoming one....but don't tell the party leaders who you support...
These childish anarchists seem to think the best way to practice free speech is to take it away from others. They're whining like babies now because their movement is a failed attempt at a revolution. This is why I cheer when I see them antagonizing cops and then getting their asses beat. Stupid fucks.
Dude, these people need to occupy romney, herman cain, and newt gingrich forums cause those are the 1% that are speaking out against the Occupiers. Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate that has shown support for the fustrations of the occupiers and the 99%. i mean wtf, did i miss something here?
OWS do your homework next time; Ron Paul is against the actions of the 1%. Who called for this action; and why did you follow ? Next time check the politician's record before you mindlessly follow to protest. This was a mistake.
On the fact that he said, "I'm very much involved with the 99%, I've been condemning that 1% because they've been ripping us off, so we need to sort that out". Is it not worth sorting out? No other candidate has spoken to OWS. Maybe OWS should reach out and form an alliance on their views of the the FED, homeland security, the patriot act, the TSA, the police state and ending war.
@WreckingBallDee OWS NEEDS to find itself as a movement, but to go home as a movement that is semi established make me laugh as the same claims were made about an also supported Tea Party...
those obama dicklicking robots who have no idea they're being fucking played by their masters see the word republican and react to destroy without having a single clue who dr. paul is or what he is about. i'm so fucking ashamed of people my age.
lol, occupy dumb street. what morons. this is why they can't get traction - because they haven't learned how to use their brains. i'm onboard with what these clowns complain against but if you mindlessly follow a group into the one dude's forum who takes your side and shit on him then you deserve to be jobless and poor. sorry.
@jeffas0n What about this says they shit on Ron Paul? The protesters are starting a trend with this mic check and it gets the message across and shows us how our "leaders" respond to their constituents. There's nothing hateful about this process... you should be ashamed of yourself for the hatred you have displayed and all who have agreed with him.
Ron Paul didnt get occupied. He just OWNED an uneducated "mic check."
I'm kind offended at these idiots for trying to pull that, because I've been vocally supportive of OWS from day 1. I agree that banks should never have been bailed out. I agree that corporatism needs to stop. I agree that alot of our constitutional liberties are violated. I agree that we need to end the FED. I agree that our government needs reform... and guess what... so does Ron Paul!
@megarockradio That is the whole issue. I'm so sick of the left and right fight. The Tea Party and OWS have alot more in common then they have different. But the powers that be and the media will not let them realize it and come together. They won't risk people uniting under one banner. I think Ron Paul could be that banner..
Bill O'reilly Calls Ron Paul dangerous. Ummmm, Isnt it the main stream media who lie and spread war propaganda? Now thats dangerous to the country and our economy.
If these people dont understand that Ron Paul is the ONLY one who has been standing against the international bankers for the last 30+ years then they are truely lost.
"Mic check" MIC CHECK... Can you tell me" CAN YOU TELL ME... "Which way to the right protest" WHICH WAY TO THE RIGHT PROTEST... "I think I'm lost" I THINK I'M LOST
I won't call these protesters idiots, just uninformed. Most of us were at some point. They're angry about the right things even if they have the wrong target. Dr. Paul handles himself well.
Sloagans are fun, they're concise, don't require thinking to recite, and are simply repeated en masse as evidently being true. The OWS protesters are mad, because one way or another they're realizing they and everyone else is and has been plundered by others. Where does the plunder come from though? I submit that the 1% is composed of gov't oligarchs that allow selected groups to plunder others "legally".
Right now we have one friend in the media, Ben Swann of a Fox affiliate. He has done several segments supporting Dr. Paul. If he gets --10,000 fans-- on facebook he is going to push for a WEEKLY RON PAUL SEGMENT. We have NEVER had this kind of ally in the media. YOU NEED TO SPREAD THIS MESSAGE. YES YOU.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@normal1426 Ron Paul is a racist, he will deport most of the "illegal mexicans" as the fascists put it, and his agenda is clearly not in the interest of the working people!!! fuck him !!
@imaginepeace63 - not tax cuts for the rich. he wants 0% income tax for EVERYBODY. There's a difference between a business that honestly sells a good product and a business that lobbies government for unfair laws to promote a monopoly. Ron Paul is against the businesses that lobby government for unfair laws.
@spktruthinlove ron paul believes the people can have peace with the private sector as long as the government is out of the way. But the priave sector has no conscious and is only governed by greed. That is not populism. Ron Paul sucks. He supports state dictatorship and calls it state rights. He supports no pell grants which sucks for middle class college students. No social security which sucks for the elderly. No voting rights act which sucks for minorities. How is Ron so great?
@imaginepeace63 because the fact is he is not backed by the establishment, he wants to end insane drug laws, and his promotion of a non-interventionist foreign policy is drastically needed. Even if he does have fantasies of the invisible hand and the FREElol market it's better then what any other candidate can even dream of coming close to offering this time around
@imaginepeace63 And I’ll give you these facts for free: He will cut the prez salary from 400k to 39k (equal to the priv sector’s median income), he rejects the lucrative congressional pension, and as a doctor, he refused to take Medicare money from people who couldn’t afford medical services. If they couldn’t afford it, he just gave them free medical service. So to answer your question, that’s why he’s so great!
@spktruthinlove But ron will increase the power of crony capitalism by getting rid of the regulations over it. regulated caitalism makes it work for the people.
@imaginepeace63 - Lobbyists write the regulations and get the politicians to go along with it. Big government is the facilitator of evil big business. Let's shrink the government's power, and just charge the government with upholding the Constitution and doing what it's supposed to do (protect prop rights, punish fraud, enforce contracts, etc) and we'd be better off. Historically, as governments get more power, they become more oppressive. That's why the founders set it up the way they did.
If you actually paid attention to Ron Paul’s plan, you’d know that he doesn’t cut a penny from SS benefits. After we cut the imperialistic military budget and after we cut the five fed agencies, then enough money would be saved so that dependent people who are elderly wouldn’t have to see a cut. How is Ron Paul against voting rights, where’d you get that from? This is just misinformation. He has been the most consistent Congressman in the last 40 years when it comes to our civil liberties.
It should be my choice whether or not I want to give my money to someone who can’t afford college. By the way, college is as expensive as it is because universities know that students can get the money from the government, so the universities just keep raising those prices. College would be much more affordable if the government got out the college-funding business.
What we should all understand about the government is this: governments don’t produce anything. The only way they make money is by stealing your money (and they call it “taxes”), threatening you with jail time if you don’t pay, or borrowing the money, or printing the money. Every one of these options makes you that much poorer. So concerning pell grants: I don’t believe it is fair for the government to steal my money and give it to someone who can’t afford to attend college.
Your “state dictatorship” argument is a bit baffling. I’m just not sure where you get this from anything Ron Paul has ever said. What we have now is a federal dictatorship because our change-agent Obama has decided that he will just circumvent Congress by issuing executive orders. That’s a scary dictatorship. At least with states, you can choose to leave and go to one of the other 49 states. But with a federal dictatorship, we don’t have many options if the feds pass a bad law.
@spktruthinlove Ron believes states rights trump public rights. He believes states have the right to segregate their people even though that hurts civil liberties. Which is why the federal government was right to get rid of Jim Crow. Public rights trump state rights.
@imaginepeace63 - Again, I must disagree. If you listen to Ron Paul, he said that he agreed with all of the Civil Rights Act except the part that dictated to biz owners how they should run their business. He said with his own mouth that the Jim Crow laws were oppressive and that it was the feds' duty to repeal them, but the feds went too far to tell businesses how to run their operations.
crony capitalism is the problem, not capitalism as a whole. if i put my own money up, work hard, produce a good product, treat ppl well, lots of ppl buy my product, and i am able to hire ppl, then what have i done wrong? I’m actually a benefit to society. the problem is when ppl bribe and lobby govt to make laws or repeal laws to give themselves an unfair advantage, then that is NOT capitalism, that is crony capitalism.
@spktruthinlove lobbists write deregulation not regulation. If government was the problem then the lobbists would be lobbing the business not lobbing government. Everytime a government agency is privatized then people get screwed. Military getting controlled by private contractors. Now these contractors are more dangerous than the terrorists. They poisoned the laundry water that the soldiers use for clothes and electrified the showers.
@imaginepeace63 Forcing them to pay higher 'fair' share when they have the ability to move their business and capital out of the country is counter productive.
However if they're business that get privileges and benefits from the government(taxpayers), go right ahead.
I understand this worked out for Paul, but why would they crash his town hall? he knows that shit. He doesn't deny it. He's been fighting to stop it for decades now.
Damn how does Ron do it he has that xfaxtor

Ron handles confrontation so well. He is confident, because he knows he is on the right path and will not stray. OWS 99% protesting Ron Paul is like my dad used to say “cutting off your nose to spite your face”…..makes no damn sense! Do we need to pass out copies of Ron’s books….I recommend Revolution, a Manifesto (It could be called the guidebook to the coming Occupy movement, for all practical purposes).

Occupy Wallstreeters are seriously the most ridiculous thing. I understand the dissatisfaction with the current state of the economy and the outrageous pay to CEO's and other exectutives though. I just think that the OW people are very misinformed. The current state of the economy has more to do with the public sectore then it does with the private sector and banks.

Historically, as governments get more power, they become more oppressive. That's why the founders set it up the way they did.

If you actually paid attention to Ron Paul’s plan, you’d know that he doesn’t cut a penny from SS benefits. After we cut the imperialistic military budget and after we cut the five fed agencies, then enough money would be saved so that dependent people who are elderly wouldn’t have to see a cut. How is Ron Paul against voting rights, where’d you get that from? This is just misinformation. He has been the most consistent Congressman in the last 40 years when it comes to our civil liberties.

It should be my choice whether or not I want to give my money to someone who can’t afford college. By the way, college is as expensive as it is because universities know that students can get the money from the government, so the universities just keep raising those prices. College would be much more affordable if the government got out the college-funding business.
spktruthinlove 3 months ago
What we should all understand about the government is this: governments don’t produce anything. The only way they make money is by stealing your money (and they call it “taxes”), threatening you with jail time if you don’t pay, or borrowing the money, or printing the money. Every one of these options makes you that much poorer. So concerning pell grants: I don’t believe it is fair for the government to steal my money and give it to someone who can’t afford to attend college.
spktruthinlove 3 months ago 3
Your “state dictatorship” argument is a bit baffling. I’m just not sure where you get this from anything Ron Paul has ever said. What we have now is a federal dictatorship because our change-agent Obama has decided that he will just circumvent Congress by issuing executive orders. That’s a scary dictatorship. At least with states, you can choose to leave and go to one of the other 49 states. But with a federal dictatorship, we don’t have many options if the feds pass a bad law.

@imaginepeace63 - Again, I must disagree. If you listen to Ron Paul, he said that he agreed with all of the Civil Rights Act except the part that dictated to biz owners how they should run their business.
