(2006) Ron Paul: GOLD AND THE US DOLLAR [Part 4]

[MrColts420]

Ron Paul 2012

I hope more people have awoken from their deep sleep and have listened to this man preach the same economic principals and philosophical ideals about a free-market society, and a non-interventionist foreign policy, especially with this illegal war in Libya

We have to stop the same false economic theories that got us into this mess in the first place! End the Fed! End Keynesian economics and go back to sound money, not this worthless fiat paper. They abuse the power every time

[TrueKnowledg3]

Don't u just luv the way the government plans out how they gone control ur life.

the Federal Reserve is the enemy of the American people.

Anyone who has read 'the jungle' knows that if people don't watch each other, society goes to hell =)

[wildcatbungalo]

Gold is inflatable and controllable just like paper money - it happened in the past just like it happened today. So, Dr. Paul, you're wrong - besides, gold still backed paper money most of the way through the Great Depression and World War II until groups leveraged gold to hurt the British and US war effort.

[kondiwagle]

I understand the Libertarian argument that government should stay out of the free market's way much more than I understand the insistence on no taxation.

It seem to me that we depend on the government for protection and many aspects of infrastructure. Why shouldn't we pay taxes for that? How do the necessary roles of government interfere with the free market?

[emonster5k]

The Federal income tax only pays off the interest charged by the Federal Reserve. The founding fathers intended to have an economy not regulated by the government. Taxes never solve problems. Cuts in unreasonable federal spending does. The U.S. doesn't only protect the U.S. We have 700 military bases in 130 countries, which is unreasonable for the American people to pay for. We must return to a small government, or we will fail. The president and congress shoudln't regulate the economy.

[wildcatbungalo]

We remove those military bases and the world will descend into chaos. Our predecessors did not do these things for no reason. I don't like it but reality bites.

Without government and regulation free markets cannot exist.

[slurppypurr]

its just plain scary how on the money he was two years ago and then you look at what he is saying is in store for this country now...we are in deep...deep trouble in the US

[dan020350]

How do you fight with an army; who has unlimited wealth, and the 80% control of the gov't?

[jaralero]

farblonjet,

In the end, realist or naive, we are all dead. You can't have a free market without free money. The U.S. has not had a FREE MARKET since the Legal Tender Act of 1862. At least the non-free, unconstitutional, greenbacks used to hold some sort of gold parity ($35 per oz.), gone in 1971.

"The Imperialist market" (your brand of foreign policy) is not market-wise, thus, it's being owned by Communist China (a U.S. creditor), which is not precisely a freedom lover: endgame.

[lookalive09]

God you're so naive! how the hell do you think our nation profits!!! Without entering the corporate world the American government would be unable "to protect the rights of the people." That's how we've become one of the elite, no bullshit. I love my country and what it has done across the globe and what it has done for its citizens. Our rights that were established by our Founding Fathers, in other words the politicians who created our government, are being protected every minute of every day.

[lookalive09]

Our government must enforce the laws they've created in order to uphold our given rights.

Please take a minute to think about what I've said today and then get back to me. I'd like this to be a somewhat respectable debate and in that aspecct I apologize for calling you naive, I didn't mean that. You know how it is with these things ;)

RON PAUL 08

[lookalive09]

It's too late for 08 try again in 2012. Although I don't think you'll have much luck. The only thing Ron Paul is capable of is complaining. Can we pleade hear something other than what he thinks is wrong with the USA and instead hear effective ways to reduce spending and loan action with foreign nations.

[chaserehn]

You must not know much about the good Dr. Paul.

I would suggest looking into the role of government. you will find that they are not suppose to fix things, just stay out of the market and it will fix itself. No more programs, no more taxes, no more BS laws.

[lookalive09]

chaserehn

the governments job is to look after the best interest of its citizens.

you make sound as if you're border lining anarchy???

[chaserehn]

No. Anarchy is very different. The Government is not suppose to look after the citizens but the rights of the citizens. There is no need for government in the market. The government job is to protect the rights of the people. when the government starts to protect the people you will loose your rights as they begin to protect you from yourself.

[lookalive09]

Our government must enforce the laws they've created in order to uphold our given rights.

[1pinkmarshmallow07]

He is not complaining, if you have a brain, you'll see what message he is trying to convey...are you actually listening to every word he is saying? He is crying out Monetary policy reformation
