Dr. Ron Paul on Cavuto Fox Business News 05-26-09

[WashMitt]

Keep drinking the Bill O'Riley koolaid

[bubthegreat1]

I have a great idea: Fire all incumbents with very few exceptions (Ron Paul, Jim DeMint, etc.) Incumbents have the lowest approval rating, continue to get reelected, and continue this cycle of bullshit because they KNOW THE SYSTEM TOO WELL!!!

Start with new people without knowledge of the inner workings and manipulations, and mandate tax audits on all members of Congress & make it public right to know! Eliminate term limits and allow a special mid-term election to oust them if they screw up

[hyylo]

But fox news got what they wanted. tey wanted someone to continue bush's policies like obama.

if we can get fox news shut down americans will not be fooled.

[frankthetank11111111]

i could not agree with you more....they'll never stop pretending the war in iraq is necessary and now that the GOP is in total disarray they all the sudden hop on the ron paul bandwagon? everything they press for on fox news, ron paul is against. i hate fox news and bill with a passion. a tiger doesn't change its stripes.

[TexasConservative1]

Fox News is the only News worth listening to! The others are Obama loving b.s.

[hyylo]

Im sorry but I disagree. Fox news and the other American news channels ridiculed Ron Paul during the elections. They pretend to tell the truth but they tell lies.

You should listen to the independent news channels on youtube.

Search youtube for these people:

Gerald Celente

Peter Schiff

Max Keiser

Marc Faber

All of the above individuals support Ron Paul and want to shut down the federal reserve.

Fox News helped destroy this country making it United States of Israel.

[TexasConservative1]

You are an idiot! The only thing Fox News does is tell both sides of the story, unlike MSNBC and CNN.

[sleger1974]

ron paul is the president of the people...he has the medicine top heal the nation. in 2012 the voters need to stand tall behind dr ron paul and bring this countryt back to its roots.....go ron go!!!

[WarDogLRS]

I am so pissed at the voter for putting in Repub's & Dem's these two parties are the enemy except for a few like Paul. WTF Voter WTF did you do to fall for the snake oil talk & forked tong speech. Never looking at there record the way they do yours when your in trouble with the law. FED UP with voters who destroy there own country 1 election at a time.

FUCK YOU VOTERS

[cowboy1165]

Don't blame me I voted for Ron Paul!

Damn, you can use that line for all comments and still hold your head up. Feels good!

[seanannapolis]

Yes, I am also frustrated with my voters. But please don't give up on them. They have been suckered by a very powerful series of forces that are well funded.

[FreedomsReigning]

Cavuto knows enough to let the peoples president speak.

[MTPatriot1787]

The thing I like about Cavuto is that he will shut up and let the person he has on his show SPEAK! Something very few other journalists or entertainers allow.

[rayyf69]

Good point, i don't think capitalism exists in a pure form. The gov always interferes and disrupts the market. But i don't want to impose a system that Marxists or socialists themselves find unjust on these individuals. I truly believe Mises was correct when he said socialism is impossible, philosophically i believe it's an evil system and as Rothbard says a "revolt against nature". People should be able to do evil to themselves or put themselves at risk as long as they its' voluntary.

[Lyndehouse]

Neil Cavuto: Excellent interview. Keep letting Ron Paul on--you might be the most professional journalist in TV today--and shoot Hannity and O'Reilly while you're at it

[greenback001]

Ron Paul is the man for the USA!

You're on here promoting yourself, that's spam. You're no different than the posters who say they are "horny and 19, come to my site!"

Rand Paul for Senator Money Bomb. June 1st. Lets blow this bomb up in the face of the status quo. Take back America. SPREAD THE WORD.

[rockhuddy]

Wow, that was an excellent speech he gave at the end.

[lenny380]

Bozo politics are here. It would be funny if people really knew what is going on. The media cooks up an 8 yr old level rant about what their opinion is and America runs with it, votes on it, believes it is the right thing to do. Wow just like Germany,Russia, China, Cuba and a few other countries did not too long ago. Hmmmmm.

This man be so great. He always has the rational opinion on every topic.

[modulisticterror]

Except when it comes to evolution, which he rejects in favour of the retardation that is intelligent design.

[ftorresgamez]

"Except when it comes to evolution, which he rejects in favour of the retardation that is intelligent design. "

As somebody that accepts natural selection as a better explanation for the origin of species, this fact should be preoccupying... But it is NOT, nor SHOULD it be, because Ron Paul espouses the idea of freedom, which includes not imposing your beliefs upon others. I worry about the economy much more than about the scientific beliefs of the profligate politician such as Il Duce.

[modulisticterror]

He is absolutely entitled to his beliefs. I was just pointing out that intelligent design is refuted by evidence and is therefore not a rational standpoint. I somewhat agree with his economic policy. As a left-libertarian i agree with most of what he says but not all.

[cowboy1165]

You somewhat agree with Austrian economics?! I think you should find a God to pray to because you are about to witness America fall back to it's evolutionary beginnings.

[modulisticterror]

I am an anarchist-communist or a libertarian-socialist. I think that the power over economics should be taken out of the hands of government or large corporations and put back into the hands of the people who actually produce.

[ftorresgamez]

"I think that the power over economics[...]and put back into the hands of the people who actually produce. "

My friend, that IS the free market! Now, large corporations cannot do much except offer their wares openly and in competition with others in a free market - it is the STATE that allows their extra-market power, that is their monopoly status. Lose the state, the "bigness" of the corporations stop to matter.

[modulisticterror]

the fundamentals of free trade of goods is not at question though, the fact is that corporations often get so large that there is a monopoly on what people can own or who they work for, I think that the private ownership of the means of production leads to a similar level of corruption as large centralised government, at least in democracy we have a say (occasionally) you have no say who runs a company or what their policies are unless youre a shareholder.

[ftorresgamez]

"I think that the private ownership of the means of production leads to a similar level of corruption."

You own the fruits of your labor, don't you? How would that lead to your corruption? Private property is the prerequisite for productive endeavors.

"at least in democracy we have a say[...] [whereas] you have no say who runs a company or [...] their policies[,] unless you[']re a shareholder."

Yes you DO. It is called your wallet. You choose who you do business with. Not so with the State.

[rayyf69]

Doesn't communal ownership lead to the "Tragedy of the commons" effect ? My incentive is to use teh asset like a private individual to obtain an increase in utiltiy, but there is an additional incentive to deplete or waste the asset as i don't endure 100% of the costs of that depletion, it is socialized. In addition to that incentive i'm driving to amplify both overuse bcs i know there are 100's , 1000's or millions doing the same thing. Only when i own it and i realize the costs do i protect.

[modulisticterror]

But to use the "tragedy of the commons" you're making the assumption that everyone in a given society would simply accept that kind of reckless behaviour.

I think that an equal usage of resources in a community would lead to prevention of over exertion, because it would be mutually detrimental in the longer term.

[Capnwabbit]

modulisticterror, what you "think" defies abundant history. The tragedy of the commons became a popular phrase describing what happened, not what might happen

[modulisticterror]

Maybe I have overlooked something, and if so then I will have to rethink my ideas. You may want to rethink your methods of written discourse, because your manner in that last message was one of snide condescension.

[rayyf69]

But they do, this is commonly observed in neridic fishing lanes or grazing-land. You would have to then waste labor on policing the usage. Further more there has to be some orderly mandate for usage, a governing system, that is more wasted labor, and creates an attenuation of rights usage over the asset which will lead to special privilege for the governing body and thus "rent seeking". The locus of control should be on the individual. I believe Ken Arrow on impossibility of collective decisions

[rayyf69]

What your describing will lead to barren fields and capital consumption. Shortages will be the norm. That will lead to loss of freedom from starvation or want. A significant body of research exists that states when property rights are maximized individuals growth will happen. When property rights are no secure the opposite will happen.

[rayyf69]

Perhaps your experiment would be better if it was voluntary. At least that way those that wish to challenge the notion of property rights producing growth would bear the burden of the costs if it failed to manifest the Marxian promises of abundance ? If this humanistic effort creates abundance then all will reject property for this communal based order.

[modulisticterror]

voluntary communes are exactly what i advocate, I am not a marxist, I am an anarchist.

Before anarchist communes could be implemented the state must be abolished as any state would still demand taxes. so the status quo doesnt allow such an experiment within the current framework.

Which is why i believe anti-statists of both market and communal perspective should work together.

"Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice and Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Bakunin

[rayyf69]

As long as i'm permitted to live in a community that is capitalist, or just has private property, I support voluntary socialism and will wish all those that wish to try to make it work well.

[seanannapolis]

Careful. Anarchy often results in disorder which then lures the people into begging the oligarchy/oppressive govt to come back to power simply to restore order. Very limited govt (IE constitutional republic) - like what we were handed on a silver platter - is one notch above anarchy...gives govt ONLY those powers necessary to do stuff like common defense, uphold laws, uphold contracts.

[modulisticterror]

For example i live in scotland, the primary (private sector) employer in my town is the supermarket Tesco, they own square miles upon square mile of land that they bought clearly just to try and prevent competition. If we were to stop shopping there then they would lose money and close the store, local people would lose employment and since their presence lead to local stores being closed down there is barely any place to shop other than with them.

[ftorresgamez]

Ask if it would be better for you to gather your supplies from different places, instead of a single place.

If what you find unpalatable is its bigness, ask if the size comes from a lack of respect to people, or as a way to give people more value for the money. Don't simply assume that size means thievery or conniving, because it may not. Also, think: Why would THIS company be the sole employer? Where are other investors? What makes the place you live so friendly to big stores but not another?

[modulisticterror]

I think that the convenience is what makes it so appealing to most people, but i cannot see past the fact that we have essentially let them hold us to ransom.

The price value is good to people, but I see that the agricultural sector in our country is crumbling because of lack of competition. When the supermarkets are the primary outlet for the farmers goods, then they have no choice but to accept the price that the supermarket is offering.

[ftorresgamez]

I see no reason to believe that giving them your business is akin to being held at ransom. Then again, the question becomes: why aren't there other stores? You have to see past the obvious, the evident, and see behind. Could the store be enjoying tax breaks from the county? Could it be hard for another competing store to open its doors? See if the State has something to do. Read: What Is Seen And What Is Not Seen by Frédéric Bastiat - that is almost all the economics you will need to learn.

[modulisticterror]

"Then again, the question becomes: why aren't there other stores?"

planning applications have been entered to the local council but almost all the land this has been approved for building of supermarkets has been locked by tesco and is sitting empty.

Other supermarkets that have opened are struggling because in this fairly poor town they cant afford to compete on price with a massive company that is willing to lower prices temporarily just to maintain a stranglehold in the long term.

[modulisticterror]

"Where are other investors?"

This town was destroyed by the manufacturing jobs being shipped over to India and China because the companies got huge and the shareholders just wanted more profit. We have a growing digital entertainment sector, and a large educational sector but the fact is that when there are a large amount of students in a town the companies get used to employing people temporarily and on a low wage.

[ftorresgamez]

"This town was destroyed by the manufacturing jobs being shipped over to India and China because the companies got huge and the shareholders just wanted more profit."

I don't believe that is the reason. If the jobs went overseas, it must have been because it made sense financially. Some reasons for that: Labor costs, higher taxes, higher regulations. I urge you to read Frédéric Bastiat's What Is Seen & What Is Not Seen at bastiat(dot)org. It explains almost EVERYTHING.

[modulisticterror]

"If the jobs went overseas, it must have been because it made sense financially."

Exactly, another example of the people who have private ownership of the means of production, willing to sacrifice the standards of living of their (now former) employees to reduce costs and maximize profit.

[ftorresgamez]

But you do the same every single time - don't you hunt for bargains? Also, why would you object to possessing that which was obtained by productive endeavors? I ask again, are you not entitled to the fruits of your labor? Well, so are those companies - their shareholders are taking huge risks as it is. So why would it be bad suddenly to seek bargains when it comes to labor? If it is valid for you to buy a cheaper box of soap, it should be equally valid for them to do the same for labor.

[modulisticterror]

Yes, but we aren't talking about a company that was struggling to break even. We're talking about a company that was reaping large profits. If it wasn't for the greed motivating the shareholders to make infinitely more money, they wouldn't have had the need to destroy a large part of the local community.

And i suppose we have used the market to get "revenge", if you will, because since that happened I haven't seen one of their products in the local area in years.

[ftorresgamez]

Well, there is nothing wrong with wanting more profits. People change jobs to obtain more money (get a higher return for their labor), and nobody accuses them of being perfidious. Still, it is a very high gamble to move a production facility to another country, so there must have been something else besides just profits that compelled the company to move. Remember, people respond to incentives, and there could be no greater motivator than an insatiable State - "What is seen & what is not seen."

[ftorresgamez]

"He is absolutely entitled to his beliefs. I was just pointing out that intelligent design is refuted by evidence and is therefore not a rational standpoint."

Agreed - Intelligent Design suffers from the logical fallacy of Begging the Question, as in "Gosh darn it, Peter, this looks designed!"

"Uh, compared to WHAT, Paul?"

However, as long as he maintains his principles, his beliefs stay where they should, instead of being imposed on the rest of us. I am a free market libertarian.

way to go cavuto, i like this guy, he gives paul all the time he needs to make his points and does not interrupt. more news shows should be like that.

[MrMP81]

I wouldn't give him nor' Fox too much credit. They use to interrupt him, call him names, etc. when he was running and now that he isn't running and a democrat is in power, they use him to their benefit.

[ZedAlfa273]

I'd much rather hear Ron Paul talk about HR 1207, a bill being introduced by Ron Paul & to date 179 Co-Sponsors to audit the 'Federal' Reserve.

[kenjams]

Dr. Paul is always right, but will enough epople listen?

[boots920]

You can't even get a majority of people to agree that paper backed by nothing is worth 0 in the long run.

Not only is the states screwed the whole fricken free world is screwed. All done by agenda....all misery leads to the "Federal Reserve" , just like all roads led to Rome. You know what happen to Rome , after it imploded came the dark ages.

[Elizruth]

I met Ron Paul at a Campaign for Liberty Conference. What a thrill. He's one of the strongest leaders we have. I hope his son Rand Paul comes up and contributes just as much. And what can I personally contribute? I've been thinking about that. I made a pledge to myself to speak up more in favor of liberty and the constitution when I encounter it being trampled. Not hard to find. HAHAHA --- Plus I'm a teacher so I am daily with young adult minds. :-)

[LeeKwangEng]

I really hope more and more people do what you did, by asking themselve a very important question, that is "what can they do to contribute".

Thanks for action on the support of helping Campaign of Liberty movement!

[Rizky06]

When will America finally wake up and realize that the main goal of the DemiCrooks & RepubliCONS is to have Command & Control of the economy. The main reason for this is to guarantee payment on the countless trillions in Debt and interest owed to International Banks and Debt holders after we foolishly mortgaged our country and it's future!
