Ron Paul 2012. The incentive to buy off politicians comes from the amount of power government currently wields. We must stop trying to control and manipulate everything.
"Modern libertarianism is the disguise adopted by those who wish to exploit without restraint. It pretends that only the state intrudes on our liberties. It ignores the role of banks, corporations and the rich in making us less free..."
@mschneiderg If the state, or any other party for that matter infringes on our liberties, that's the reason for rule of law. If your rights have been infringed upon, take it to the law. Big banks and corporations have even more of an incentive to manipulate government because it has the power to regulate human behavior. So what happens is that the revolving door game is played - the government officials writing these regulations are working for the interest of big corp and not the people.
@LiberalJerseyman you progs need to be slightly machiavellian. It's only going to be Obama, Newt or, remote chance, Ron Paul. The candidate most likely to drain $ out of gov is Paul and that will level the field in your favour in future.
I agree - its terrible how the system can be bought. Just like the Billion Dollars Obama is raising from all his minion millionaire and billionaires, like Warren Buffet (who reportedly owes federal taxes) and all those corporations, like GE (that didn't pay any taxes last year). But then again, he's a democrat - which means you (democracy now) don't think that's a problem. It's only a problem when it benefits the other guy (Obama's opponent)....Right?
What are we going to do when they assassinate Ron Paul?
