@MrWakethesheeple Oh , im already sold actually since i found a couple more interviews and see how he want to allow people to opt out of the entitlement programs rather than eliminate them wholehog. Hes got my vote already
also hes caused me to rethink several positions ive had concerning fiscal and economic policy. he kind of brought several divergent lines of logic i had going inside me and helped to resolve them and bring them into clarity and focus. As long as he wouldnt leave my mom assed out of her retirement checks thats shes paid into her whole life or came up with a suitable solution to that specific problem i support everything else he says 100%
@MrWakethesheeple Hey i evny you your personal affiliation with Paul (assuming its the truth). I agree with him on many many things. I think perhaps he should rethink his stance on amnesty for illegals that currently reside with a job and children attending school. it should effectively be an overnight amnesty with real attention paid to making sure illegals dont get through from then on (whatever that would entail). other than that i cheer him and share alot of his views.
For the sake of the younger generation and the continuation of our Constitutional Republic, there is no other choice than Ron Paul. The world and America will prosper and be safer with this great man in the White House. Ron Paul 2012
@MrWakethesheeple But it isn't a bit of a conundrum that the same govt that engages in massive corruption and makes very poor decisions also repealed Glass-Steagall? Why would they do this? Could it be because it was one way to ensure that our govt turns our economy into a form of state run capitalism (aka fascism)?
Wouldn't it make it easier for the corporatocracy to emerge as the dominate economic philosophy instead of the free market? A free market this is not.
@MrWakethesheeple Glass-Steagall is going to separate the patriots from the traitors. Those who support it are on the side of the nation. Those who suppress it are the nation's enemies. It's the litmus test for who works for us and who works for the banks.
Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate who can link our fiscal policy to our monetary policy to our foreign policy and see how those three areas are bankrupting our country.
@uwmbigb If you feel like you're having a difficult time trusting politicians, you're not alone. But with regards to Ron Paul, search for "Ron Paul 1988"...You'll find out why he's so popular, and why the establishment and the media are so afraid of him, they exclude him from debates, polls, and manipulate his popularity.
@justonemorename ron paul is willing to cut medicaid, your lying to yourself if you don't want to believe he doesn't believe in all federal programs. yeah, that brings up a good point, he doesn't think the department of education is valid either.
@MrWakethesheeple There are two bills coming up in Congress that will restore Glass-Steagall: HR1489 Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2011 and HR 2451 Glass Steagall Restoration Act of 2011. There are over 30 Congressional sponsors for these two bills, some overlapping and sponsoring both bills.
I don't disagree - the social relationships within capitalism translate into political inequalities. Economics is the base; politics is the consequent superstructure.
Hence, the capitalist class are always in a position to "subvert" and manipulate the political process, whatever the rhetoric of "government for the people", "democracy", etc.
Even the original welfare programs were instituted in cahoots with them - they served their interest at one time.
Let's be clear - we still have capitalism. Capitalism does not equal "laissez faire". Capitalism is a mode of production, and the relationship between ownership/management and productive labor within enterprise.
That said, the present failure of the welfare state has everything to do with it co-existing alongside capitalism. The ruling class was as enthusiastic as it was for welfare programs (as many once were) when there was a compelling motive for them to support them.
The truth is a little more complicated than this. Throughout the third world, people have been FORCED into the cities because agriculture no longer allows them to sustain themselves. A similar situation happened in Haiti, and many other places.
He makes some sense. His desire to end America's empire is good. So too is his desire to get rid of the private central bank (the one example of privatization he seems to oppose.)
Otherwise, he'd just be turning the clock backward, w/o actually changing the basic dynamics which allow for "cronyism" to appear to begin with. The inequalities within capitalist economic relations (not income differences alone, but their basic character) translate into political inequality.
- no one denies industrialization (which is the part of capitalism which increases productivity - not the private ownership of the means of production) is a good thing of itself.
- the growth in living standards in the U.S. for most of the latter 20th century has been due to tech development and aggressive wealth re-distribution. Hardly due to "laissez faire."
- sadly, part of this growth is due to naked exploitation of the 3rd world working class. That's "good"?
Hey Mox! Did you leave the famine in Somalia thing because it has been caused by private corporations restricting the privatised water supply (it's their private property), sky-rocketing price increases in grain due to the removal of price controls by the gov. of Somalia and end of gov. subsidies in general?
All of which are Dr. Paul policies... famine is a tough price for economic integrity...
democracynow. org had a good section on this yesterday (not about Dr. Paul but Somalia)
@RemoveYourChains Tell me. How well are contract laws enforced in Somalia? Or, what is the currency backed in? This is nothing like what Dr. Paul is advising and you know it!
@RemoveYourChains "anarcho-capitalist" is what I understand by Paul's 'libertarianism', don't shout at me I know I must be wrong. But you really think that if you do away with dept. of Agri. that food prices wont go up? Infrastructure, i.e. roads are the most Stalinist institution there is, 'all pay, then first come first served' you think privatising that will work, you want to pay more to drive? You think people who don't drive shouldn't pay? That's crazy! I wd prob. still vote RP over BO tho
I think you're misunderstanding where I'm coming from. I don't have any problems with public infrastructure. Hell, in my perfect world, all of the means of production are publicly held.
Ron Paul just makes all other candidates look like used car salesmen. I voted for Obama last time because RP didn't get the nomination. Obama said that he would pull troops out........well they are still there. I've been over there and we are wasting our kids lives and our money. Restore power back to the people, vote Ron Paul.
@kilnsapper how can someone who wants ron paul as president vote for obama? I must say that is a disgusting statement, please dont ever infer that obama is somehow like RP. You voted for obama so you are just as much my enemy as olbermann or hannity. I hope you learned and this is why you now support RP, but I queation your underestanding of liberty freedom and ron paul if you voted for obama, shame on you, you owe america an apology for your ignorance.
if george bush hadnt of lied thru his teeth about 9/11 this would of never happened. all bush did for 7 years after 9/11 was work to cover it up and destroy all of the evidence that it was an inside job, he should be arrested for treason.
@jb4rp2012 - 'Section 3. The activities of the United States Government which violate the intent and purpose of this amendment shall, within a period of three years from the date of the ratification of this amendment, be liquidated and the properties and facilities affected shall be sold. '
- just because your all butthurt about the gubment gives you no right to liquidate it completely, so things are bad I know they are, but to a guy who puts ideology over the common good is fucking nuts!
@clownporn1 The "common good" is an illusion. It's really about the good of those involved in making the laws. i.e. the politically connected. It's not the *entire* government, that much is clear even in the text that you posted.
@eltiare - denial is hilarous XD, I guess the word liquidate has no bearing to you, lets just say Hitler Liquidated the Jews, Ron Paul wants to liquidate the gubment.
that means No Congress, No Supreme Court, No Executive Branch.
it would turn us into Somalia right quick, which is the Libertarian utopia
@clownporn1 you just proved why the establishments "common good" line is outdated and intellectually barren, if any1 takes the time out of their day(an hour maybe) and actually does some ron paul reading/research you would know and agree with him about the over sized fed gov and the banking fraud that has us enslaved. just research "fractional reserve banking", but no you will just insult ppl like R.P. and me who can read. lol i bet u think Fiat money is worth something. LOL
@clownporn1 You had better learn how to spin your words... RP wishes to liquidate the assets of unconstitutional governmental institutions not people. And NO, that does not mean "No Congress, No Supreme Court, and No Executive Branch"; those institutions are created by the constitution and would not be liquidated. Have you ever read the Constitution? Do you understand the meaning of freedom or liberty? Better yet, read an economics book and learn why these big government ideas always fail.
@clownporn1 Gee, I thought the Constitution was for the common good. What part of the Constitution goes against the common good? To me, any and all well financed special interests groups such as corporations that use the force of government to gain their riches are against the common good. It seems as though you are putting your ideology over the common good. Then according to you, you must be F..king nuts?
@xWren Google: "Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan", and you will see that de-commissioning the US military bases in Japan is not simply a matter of Presidential prerogative.
The president DOES NOT have the authority to simply vacate foreign military bases because they are subject to various treaties and security and trade agreements. You are completely wrong about that, which is no surprise, considering you support WRong Paul.
He is only saying you don't have to cut Social Security etc because he is running for president. And the math has been done. If you let people opt out Social Security goes bankrupt in a couple of years. And poverty in the the elder goes back to 70% as soon as the people who opt out retire.
Yup. The whole idea that "private charity" can solve all of society's problems is shown false by history itself. It was the very failure of such an expectation that resulted in these programs from being proposed to begin with (that, and a need to appease the growth of radicalism during the Great Depression - frankly, the capitalist class could entice the public with social spending, or have had the red banner flying over Washington.)
Who the fuck watches PBS? See that's the problem with Ron Paul, he never gets interviews from the mainstream media. They just had Buddy Roemer on Fox, why not RP?
I fucking hate how the lame stream always tries to point out his age, his past campaigns, anything to try and make him look like he has no chance, why not let the man have a couple of minutes to explain why the fed must end in detail, why the corruption must end in detail, why the corperate subsidies must end so on, so on
The slightest smell of freedom gives me a hardon, RP 2012
Ron talks tough but he doesn't even support the Glass-Steagall Act. His only economic solution is going back to the 19th century, with giant trade companies ruling the world. Ron's policies would turn the USA into a colony to the financial powers.
@riethc There is only one major distinction between Ron Paul and other Republicans. GOP policies would allow big govt be used to increase the power and wealth of big biz (trickle up economics, military-industrial complex, etc). Ron Paul's policies would allow the power and wealth of big biz to increase by weakening big govt (unregulated capitalism, no workers rights, etc). Both are just two sides of the same coin. Both undermine representative democracy of a govt by and for the people.
If the Republicans truly want to take back the White House then they need to nominate RON PAUL . Every other person running is hated by Liberals, and many independents. That is not the same with Ron Paul. And it is possible he might actually fix the economy.
lol...you'd be better writing an e-mail to his official campaign website than dropping a suggestion on a YT channel comments section, on the off chance that someone in his campaign is reading these comments...
@RemoveYourChains don't you know this place is the happening. RP has his own YT channel perhaps I should knock on that door. thanks for your suggestion.
Ron Paul is such a straight shooter. I suppose with his philosophy he would eventually want to get rid of the "entitlement " programs, but from what I have seen of him, I think he would work it out somehow in a compassionate way with an alternative (not sure what that would be though). I'm afraid he might be too "good" to be President and might end up like Kennedy. He has indicated stopping aid to Israel (along with others) and that would probably be suicide if you know what I mean ;)
@Woodchuck1949 right ..... so whats the alternative? pill poppen, gay to treight campin michelle bachman? or 4 more years of the obamanation? Ill vote paul and take the chnces thank you very much ....
@Justwosweet oh im trying there is allot of dis-info from all the so called credable sources .... canidiate that supports me, lol I guess ill scratch out the names and vote for myself .....
On 311 the World woke up and decided NO NUKES and NO FLUKES.We ask for the END OF THE NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE ON EARTH. We DEMAND THE END OF TOXIC POWER SYSTEMS ON EARTH. Let us BAN HYDRO FRACKING IN AMERICA as this POISONS MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER Let us DEMAND THE END OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL CORPORATE COMPLEX NOW. Let us DEMAND THE END OF ENDLESS WARS ON HUMANKIND Let us DEVELOP IN UNITY the Energy of SOLAR, MAGNETIC, WIND TURBINE,GEO THERMAL& HYDRO KINETIC4ALL POWER
this is the best interview i have seen Ron Paul do. take a few minutes to watch this. you will see the reason why my son and i are "Blue Republicans (registering as a Republican), in order to vote for Ron Paul in the Primary Elections. there are many doing this as it's the only way to get Ron Paul the Republican nomination.any of the other candidates are just not an option if we want to save ourselves and the nation from doom. this is too important to each and every one of us!
Ron Paul thinks medicare and social security are unconstitutional, he also wants to stop building and close veteran hospitals. Nice for him to pretend he cares about these things but he really doesn't.
@Justwosweet Nice to see the ignorant have a voice here. The V A is private. If we as a nation were less interventionalist we wouldn't need as many veteran's hospitals because. there would be a lot less veterans. Stick with Obama so we can build more hospitals & have more wars.
@sintruder The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a government-run military veteran benefit system with Cabinet-level status. It is the United States government’s second largest department, after the United States Department of Defense. It's not my fault you have a voice here or that you like ron paul.
@Justwosweet "Independent administration within the federal government" quote from the VA. Do you think the Fed is government? Where is the quote Ron Paul wants to close VA hospitals?
@Justwosweet The department of defense is one of the few responsibilties of government. Ron would like to free up the VA from the buracracy that funds it IE the government & let the veterans be more in charge, not to mention let them go to what ever doctor they want. I believe we owe the soldiers a great debt, & we should stop getting them involved in conflicts that have nothing to do with our security. Do you believe Dr Paul is against our military? He gets the most active duty support
@sintruder You are right! though, I think he's talking short-term when it comes to social programs. Many people would be up shit's creek if they cut social security and medicare. let the young like me OPT-OUT and take care of the people already on there.
@sintruder the government has the right to tax the citizens and spend it as the congress declares necessary . .. thats ur authority right there. the constitution doesnt have to specifically allow something for it to be constitutional . . . thats a misunderstanding of the constitution
@sintruder if there was something in the constitution that made it illegal to tax someone's income then ud be able to show it to me will little to no problems . . . . obviously u cant
@keggerous So you would like me to prove a negative? The constitution, if it's not in there then it is unconstitutional. Why would you defend this hypothetical? I offer you $10 to cut my lawn, you agree, you cut my lawn, when I go to hand you the money, a man in a suit with a badge & gun arives & informs me that he is from the IRS & I must give him $3 of your monetary agreement with me. The scale is off but the principle is the same.
@sintruder ok u apparently have never read the constitution . . . its called the 16th amendment to the constitution, i suggest u look it up. i wish ppl like u would do ur own research cuz im really fed up with ppl making claims when they have no clue what there talking about. btw, i didnt ask u to prove a negative, i asked u to prove its unconstitutional.
@keggerous WOW it goes all the way up to 16, shit you got me boy genus. I am familair with the 16th & yes I have read the constitution. The ratification of the 16th amendment has been in question since 1913 when it began. I am fed up with people like you cheerleading taxes & believing that if we gave them more money things would be great. When you start paying taxes get back with me. You never answered my hypothetical question.
@sintruder it hasnt been in question at all . . . in fact, there was income tax before that too. why put words in my mouth? i havent cheered taxes once to u . . . i havent told u anything i believe and who said i dont pay taxes anyway? do u normally just make shit up about ppl u argue with?
@keggerous I told you this would be futile. The ratification of the 16th has been debate for a long don't believe me look it up. 40% pay little or no taxes you are 24 & a cook you might have deduction but you probably get it back. I am done with this fuck off & have a nice day
@snappa52 ok . .. its also held up in supreme court sense it was passes too so i fail to see how that matters. nor do i even accept what ur claiming . . .
@sintruder Does their unconstitutionality make them immoral? I know the argument for the constitutionality of them but it does not negate their necessity. You also know that since the supreme court decided they are constitutional, they are, by constitutional law.
@lSeKToRl So you think the Federal government should dictate to the teachers and parents on what they should be teaching the children of this country?? You think a bureaucrat will do a better job than you in determining what is best for your children? It's people like you, who have brought this country to the brink of destruction. How about you and the rest of the morons move to China and tell me how you like having the government run every facet of your lives.
@lSeKToRl lol ...... ron paul is our only hope .......... no there is another ........ star wars parady ...... rand paul in the future .... but come on do you not see where he is comming from? if national healthcare was so good why are we so poor in education . . . . the industry went over seas in the late 80's and 90's. . . now entitlements are about to over come income, the treaties we sighned over the years under carter and ford, created this problem. remember the dec of independants.
@lSeKToRl be carefull or you'll get what you wish for?! bachman over paul, realy!? if a stupid socialist would rather have a neo-con I think this pretty much solidifies my libertarian viewpoints. I'm a wage earner btw....
I used to make fun of cult folowers, but if I find the cult of Paul ..... im going to sign up ...... ron, rand, even wayne paul talk about a holly family .... they are perfect as far as voting .... im a ron paul cult follower if there is a cult sign me up ...... the cult of the constitution
@xWren Congress can bring home the troops to. They can refuse to fund a war and the troops will come home. Wonder why Republicans like to bitch about all of obama's illegal wars but fail to do anything about it ?
@xWren Actually, the President cannot unilaterally decide to dismantle foreign military bases, because they are subject to complex trade, treaty, and security agreements with various countries. Besides, it would take many years to de-commission those bases, and a Pres. WRong Paul would be replaced by the American people before he could actually accomplish any of those goals.
If 'they' hate us because we're in their countries, then why aren't Japanese and German terrorists attacking America?
@YouSayYouWantA That's not true, dude. Many Japanese do hate the American military presence, and the JSDF is sufficient to defend Japan if the need arises.
@PostSurgeOperative Of course he can... He is Commander and Chief and can order the troops out of any base. Congress can only fund it, they don't enforce it. The Germans and Japanese get their security for free plus we pay them to be there... They take billions into there economies from our boys.
If we do as Ron Paul suggests and end military adventurism and support for the military industrial complex we can reduce our standing military by 3/4 and increase the pay and benefits for our military personnel. We would then make military service competitive, and retain highly skilled and dedicated professionals instead of sending or National Guard to die in foreign wars instead of taking care of their families and serving as a backup to the professional military. Our present policy is insane .
"Medical Savings Accounts" don't work for chronic diseases like M.S or kidney transplants etc , or if you have a child born with serious chronic disease like cystic fibrosis , If you only make 40k/year and the Insurance company won't insure you because of these conditions or premiums cost more than you can afford ,Then the only Freedom You have is to DIE!
@BarackMcBush I think that part is implicit. It is sort of a return to survival of the fittest which uses certain language to allow those who understand and agree with such policies to support it, while simply leaving the rest to act confused or smug about how they don't realize such ideologues are "leaving the sick to die."
@BarackMcBush So you are saying the current system works? Government intervention is why the health care is so unaffordable. I have no insurance & I have MS I pay for my own treatment with out Medicaid
@sintruder And what if it was stage 3 cancer or what if it was muscular dystrophy or severe heart problems or a renal failure and a kidney transplant was needed or a host of other ailments? , If you have 250k $+ sitting in your checking ,Great for you ,what about the people who don't? No System is perfect but a system that spends the most and covers the least % of the population of the 1st world countries should be changed.
@BarackMcBushThanks for the concern. I wont profess to say I know the Canadian system we can't get accurate information in this country on the subject. Comparing life expectancy between the US & CA is apples & oranges you have 25% of our population. Health care used to be affordable before the government got involved plus their was much more charity. Nothing is free somebody pays for it.
@sintruder Don't listen to Spin , (Right or Left) Check the C.I.A (Yes that C.I.A) World Fact book #'s on life expectancy & infant mortality. (Those 2 idolators give you an idea on how a society is doing)
@BarackMcBush That would be one hell of a quandry Dem, Reb or CIA. I really hate to get info from all of the above. Health care a side CA is more socialistic than the US your economic stand point has a lot to do with life expectancy. I understand it goes off an average but the simple fact is it is harder for a country with a large population to take care of individuals than it is for a much smaller country. Think about this everything that insurance doesn't cover goes down in price every year.
Correction: Ron Paul "We Don't Have To Start With Cutting Medicare Or Social Security To Get Our House In Order." This is what Ron says. Cause you have to cut those programs eventually. They need a 40% haircut.
@Auschwitz2012 Hey you Racist Fuck , President Obama ordered the S.E.A.L team 6 to kill Osam bin laden , the #1 terrorist in the world , I may not support Obama in 2012 but I respect that decision and I respect peoples ethnicity or race ,fortunately your kind is disappearing ,hopefully for good.
Your wages are not subject to mandatory taxation. Gains on corporate activity are. Poor people need to know: Do not pay taxes on your wages! Claim exemption. 0 on w2.
@peterb37 Which part of unapportioned, direct taxes being illegal don't you understand? Very clear in the Constitution. Lesser courts than the Supreme court have ruled that you may comply Voluntarily. Cut and dry. Those who know their rights, and are represented in court fairly, win!
@complyvoluntarily Like I said friend. It looks like you HAVE read the Constitution. The Income Tax is an illegal tax. I stopped paying it in 1990, and I don't file tax returns either since I have no taxable income. I suggest everyone else do the same.
Just saw ur comment and thought i would give my take on that question.
People ARE too stupid to make their own decisions...and too afraid to be autonomous. Its one reason conformity is one of humanitys most prevelant qualities.
But that doesnt mean they shouldnt have the freedom to make as many stupid decisions as they want.
The establishment is afraid of Ron Paul. George Soros and Rupert Murdoch make fun of him and post misleading polls. NATO/UN/IMF know they lose power in America if Ron Paul is elected. Electronic voting machines have been PROVEN hackable in less than 1 minute. We know other voting fraud has happened. The only way to audit an election is to have paper ballots and public counting. Otherwise, the establishment wins.
@mistermassive1 so sad that people on the net actually think congress can do anything to stop whats been going on for decades...brainwashed and utterly delusional.
@xWren sure doesn't look like it...look at the state of the economy...so far everybody would agree govt has been doing what it wants to serve the interest of a few as if king for decades.

Did you leave the famine in Somalia thing because it has been caused by private corporations restricting the privatised water supply (it's their private property), sky-rocketing price increases in grain due to the removal of price controls by the gov. of Somalia and end of gov. subsidies in general?
All of which are Dr. Paul policies... famine is a tough price for economic integrity...

But you really think that if you do away with dept. of Agri. that food prices wont go up? Infrastructure, i.e. roads are the most Stalinist institution there is, 'all pay, then first come first served' you think privatising that will work, you want to pay more to drive?

Yup. The whole idea that "private charity" can solve all of society's problems is shown false by history itself.

Ron Paul is such a straight shooter.

I'm afraid he might be too "good" to be President and might end up like Kennedy. He has indicated stopping aid to Israel (along with others) and that would probably be suicide if you know what I mean ;)
