Forbes Publisher Gives Advice to Obama "Ron Paul is Spot On Right"

[newexperiment]

A lot of good this did.

[jimmyjoe1975]

Ron Paul is right. But does allowing banks to fool its customers by considering its assets to be valued over current market value a good idea?

[mbear14]

@jimmyjoe1975 Sorry for the spam, but I do have "Ron Paul Was Right" at cafepress () com / zeptullwear

2012.

[shyscape]

we need Ron in now!

[peppytwo]

Yeah, true, RON PAUL has been getting a lot more air time these days. Second to Obama, its almost as if he was the GOP canidate and not McCain

[klard]

Notice how during the election process the media only talked about how out of touch or crazy Ron Paul was? Now that there is no threat of him winning the Presidency they all welcome him and his ideas that only months ago were so crazy.

[brizzlie]

We don't need an income tax at all.

[KorlaPlankton]

You mean ANOTHER failed Presidency?

[bamagirl369]

How is higher taxes reasonable? I can't imagine anyone who actually pays taxes suggesting this, and if you're not paying taxes, you're either a true libertarian or just a leech, mooching off the government and sucking the middle class dry.

[seyeeyes]

as long as there are lips to be kissed, love will never die or say bye as my eye will all ways blink and wink wink and skate my lips over lips to slide my lips against and steal a kiss for it is not a crime . 4 eye am kiss me dove there is no place to hide. kissmass dove kissmet

[jrnesbit]

alternative to raising taxes is cutting government spending. Ron Paul wants to cut billions of government wasteful spending ... then we can lower taxes and that will strengthen the economy because people have more money.

[jrnesbit]

keep spreading the message of Ron Paul now so when election time rolls around we can get him in.

[poncethegreat169]

smart man, but u always seem smart when quoting Paul

[podrag]

RON PAUL makes me happy to be human!

[ampersandtay]

Ron Paul? You Americans live in a dream. Ron Paul never had a chance.

Don't get me wrong, if he wanted to settle in the UK I would pay his families fare and do all I could to get him citizenship.

But the reason he never had a chance is that if he had got in, his ideas would have shown every politician up for the last 100 years as crazy incompetent fools. It is no wonder the "Righteous" kept him out of view of the majority.

[harryflocyberman]

Thank you for the video! but I thought that that the jobs that were to be creating as the video says artificially were jobs that generate money too, don't get me wrong I agree with Ron Paul but the jobs that are being created are not about digging holes maybe some of them are like that but there are also green jobs government jobs I don't think they are all wasteful and in some way could generate money growth from needed materials and consumers purchases but I could be wrong.

[batgirl791]

Dr. Paul cured my apathy, too.

[PatriotReport]

batgirl791: And mine.

[poetrychurch]

Ron Paul is my President.

[IIIClydeBarrowIII]

No. He's your favorite politician.

Obama is your president weather you like it or not...

And... I don't really like it.

[stopglobalswarming]

Wow. Maybe this guy didn't make his money from pron like Hefner and Sumner Redstone.

[stopglobalswarming]

Deport mexicans and kenyans and somalians and that will open up 50 million or more jobs.

[ctalkington]

I guess Obama would have to exported then...

[quartermain1961]

Spot on...

[joe80dman]

Democracy? The state GOP where I lived refused to have Ron Paul's name placed on the ballot. They even refused to have a write-in space. yeah, we live in a democracy,... NOT!

[voteDRNO]

We The People have our wealth and future wealth stolen by our government, our government gives that wealth to the MEGA RICH! soon We The People will have nothing to lose!

[Theywontchipme]

I tend to cling to hope" that they are just extremely naive. maybe you are older perhaps a bit frustrated. We were not always awake, but at least we probably sensed there was something wrong at a very early age...Anyways peace and FUCK the NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!

[jcNOVA88]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZapruderJr]

Prez Obama, you listening?

[Theywontchipme]

he runs nothin , look at the squad that was chosen practically the whole Trilateral Commision is in charge of key positions

[ZapruderJr]

You know, you're right Theywont. Keep and eye on the people BEHIND Obama.

A change of rhetoric from Obama might at least be cause for hope. But I'm not holding my breath.

[dmika59]

Sweet, hope Obama will take that message to heart. 5/5 *****

[thepcguru55]

I voted for Dr. Paul - why didn't you?

[robpatozz]

I did.

[Theywontchipme]

Dr. Ron Paul cured my Apathy!!

[NoBailout4Banksters]

Our entire household wrote in his name on the PA ballot.

Even donated, cheerfully, to his(ours actually because Dr. Paul was representing We The People) campaign and would be willing to do it all over again.

"Switch to Gold, the Fed WILL Fold"

[voispoed]

I did...it was a write-in, but it was legit! :-D

[cdc482]

@thepcguru55

I did. the only time i ever voted.

[cdc482]

@thepcguru55

I did. the only time i ever voted.

[hairyfarmegg]

@thepcguru55 so did I!

[hatexlifexlies]

@thepcguru55 I was only a year away from voting or I would...I know if he runs again that I will

[peterscottfrost]

It is nice to see Ron Paul getting some recognition and respect. Too bad more people aren't listening to Ron Paul, especially people in government and at the Federal Reserve.

[RatRaceAce]

When Obama talks about job creation, I don't think he means digging holes and then filling them up again. He's talking to Americans who are largely illiterate and limited in their thinking, and he uses simple words they can get. Obviously he means meaningful and productive jobs that will strengthen America. Specific areas for investment that Obama has identified include all those you mention in your video. One mistake Obama makes is taking about "spending" when he should be saying "investment".

[ftorresgamez]

Only private investment can create those "meaningful and productive" jobs, not the government. Some may disdain profit seeking, but IT is what drives meaningful and productive INVESTMENT, whereas the government follows political motives.

[OgeronimonominoregO]

It's all a bunch of nonsense.

The gov't doesn't produce anything. They use force to steal from producers. The fact that they can steal from Peter to provide Paul with a job, doesn't mean they are "creating jobs."

The jobs they destroy with their stupid redistribution schemes are never counted. Neither is the waste, fraud, and abuse ever counted.

[arcanekrusader]

Digging holes and filling them up again is EXACTLY what he is talking about.

[smkuhner]

awesome, this guy is actually smart

[tenagliac]

Seems like the problem is 1st, a corrupt financial system that did not deserve to be bailed out. The 2nd is, the money is not managed by congress, but the Fed. 3rd, exporting jobs is profitable until the credit of the unemployed can no longer afford those imports. 4th the problem in some cases is too much productivity & efficiency, hence the auto industry producing 18 million cars for a 9 million demand. Finally, energy needs to be domestic, cheap and non-burning.

[davincij15]

Ending mark to market will not save the banks. That's like you saying your house is worth millions because you say it is. You are still not going to get a loan on that house. Thus suspension of reality does not save the banks.

[PQRLOVE]

'Digging a hole and filling it back in has no value' you say. Work has no value in and of itself seems to be a logical conclusion. Do you really agree with that?

I don't. ANY job is a God given opportunity to develop a person's character, at the very least.

Course you richies don't get it.

Dennis K and Ron P TOGETHER could save the country. We need BOTH.

or, eat the rich and kill the poor as we do now.

Me? I don't wanta eat or kill no more.

I want reality.

[yousuck721]

i dont think you get it man

he is saying if the job doesnt produce a product or service then it is worthless

and it wount last

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

PQRLOVE, you're being a noodge literalist. if one, for example, says that zimbabwean currency has no value, that doesn't mean the paper can't be burnt in place of firewood. practical speech requires reasonable shortcut conventions.

more important, if money is stolen from me so you may be paid to dig holes and refill them, that has _negative_ value to me -- worse than no value. you're pissing in the wind with your "you richies" bullshit.

[ftorresgamez]

"Dennis K and Ron P TOGETHER could save the country. We need BOTH." Be careful. Dennis K. may be anti-war and anti-empire but he's no friend of freedom, specifically economic freedom.

[Theywontchipme]

after the NWO is routed out...we can work out the details and we will get Dennis a copy of The Revolution : A Manifesto!

[ChrisKillz503]

Praise God for some success in the opposition to the nutcase krugman and his obamanomics squad of illusionists. krugman is the cryss angel of economists and Ron Paul is the evil kneivel.

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

predictable that the RP deists were in such a swoon over the RP quote here that they ignore the vid's overwhelming corporatist (fascist) pining. karlgaard's complaint isn't that "the economy" is outside the realm of the US president's "delegated" power. nah, he wants "investment".

try liberty, jackals from hell. that includes you RP swillers worshiping a career thief whose accumulated salary alone exceeds 3 million (2008 dollars) -- all of it stolen via the threat of force. that isn't liberty.

[drakulva]

Ron Paul never said that government should spend on those science and technology projects that the IBM CEO wants. Those things are a waste in the same way that digging holes and filling them up is a waste.

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

"Those things are a waste in the same way that digging holes and filling them up is a waste."

good job, drakulva.

[blakmira]

Publisher of FORBES???! This surely is a victory and proof that Ron Paul's economic message of wisdom is being listened to and repeated by those "respected" in the financial industry.

Much props and respect finally coming from the "mainstream." Ron Paul is not going to go away quietly in the night in our America.

[ftorresgamez]

Wow! What, is he a recovering Keynesian who saw the light??? 1 year too late, people are quoting Ron Paul more and more. If they only quoted von Mises MORE AND MORE, or Nobel Laureate Hayek... Instead of phony economist Keynes, maybe we would see the light at the end of the tunnel (and it would not be Amtrak)

[hkongfan]

Hey... what does he try to say at the end about taxes? Did it get cut off?

[campaign4liberty]

great video Thank you for posting.

[SaveOurSovereignty2]

great video

[chucksheen]

A film will be released on 2/13/09 called "The International". It's about crony bankers like the Federal Reserve. END THE FED!

[captcaveman4201]

to DESERVING homeowners... that statment implys that there are people that DO NOT DESERVE HOMES.. who chooses who is deserving????

[ftorresgamez]

"who chooses who is deserving???? " Whoever is willing to lend you the money to pay for one. If you cannot afford a home, YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT!!!!!

[captcaveman4201]

ok lets say for example im the person printin and creating all of the money. and i say ftorresgamez your credit is shot. how do i know your credit is shot?? because im the one with all the money in my bank. and you only get money if i say soo. therfor you cannot afford a home and dont deserve a home.. but me on the other hand.. my credit is spectacular.. soo good infact that i can buy a homes with pure cash.. no credit needed. and if u were to try and buy the same house it would cost 3 times.

[captcaveman4201]

and after i buy soo many homes. i will rig the system to keep the prices well out of reach of the common person soo they will infact never be able to pay off the morgage...and i will kick them out and i will still keep the house and it will be all profit for me. AND DONT TRY AND TELL ME THATS NOT EXACTLY HOW IT IS.. remember McCain got asked how many homes he owns.. his answer was.. Geee i dont know .. there are soo many... its hard to say...

[ftorresgamez]

"ok lets say for example [I]'m the person printin[g] and creating all of the money. " Let's say that printing money is fraud. That's a good beginning.

"[A]nd [I] say 'ftorresgamez, your credit is shot.'" You may say whatever you want, but there would be absolutely NO point in printing money if you do not make it circulate (i.e. hold it, as you described), so as long as OTHERS hold that money after it circulates & my credit standing may be good enough for THEM, I can get a loan.

[captcaveman4201]

??? you didnt make any sence in that.

[drakulva]

Not really. To be precise: If you can't afford to buy a house then you can't make the payments on a house and you should rent a home instead of trying to buy. It has nothing to do with deserving and everything to do with proven ability to repay the loan (or at least it would without politically motivated pressuring of the banks to loan to people who cannot make their payments).

[drakulva]

You choose yourself, by having a stable address and employment record and reliable credit history, and thus demonstrating that you are someone that can make payments on a loan. Moron.

[captcaveman4201]

no u are the moron !! because you dont see the big picture.. people are profiting off of people not having the money they need in the first place!! this is why people cant have a stable address !! its why they cant count on their jobs to be there the next day.. and where does the money come in to pay for the INTREST off the loan.. IT DOESNT FUCKING EXIST !! therefor there are always goin to be people getting kicked out of there homes. BECAUSE ITS BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM THATS WHAT ITS MADE FOR !!

[wiseuppeople]

Restore the Republic

[ucjb2]

Dr. Paul is stop on!

[chewbaca1989]

Tax me so I can pay my dog! He'll dig and fill!

[turtleworld]

Dig a hole one day and fill it up the next?

My dog qualifies for a government job! Where's my check?

[cowboy1165]

My cat digs holes too, and he even puts something that was productive in it before he covers it back up.

Breaking news. Millions of pet owners receive government paychecks for pet labor...Film at 11:00

[voispoed]

Hahaha! Funny! ;-D

[Felix1085]

Great video. The people are starting to wake up.

[jeffsst]

its about fucking time! damn if knew this would happen like tree years ago... damn people should watch less tv!

[OutlawTomFantastic]

Nice video but that was super gay when the video repeated the Ron Paul segment at the end. Are you trying to annoy us?

[robpatozz]

Just you OTF. But soon enough, the annoyed, "that was super gay" feeling, will be replaced with a desire to educate the masses on the benefits of free markets, sound economic policy, sound money, the dangers of fractional reserve banking and the privately controlled Federal Reserve System. Those 10 seconds you wasted watching the end of this video will be but a distant memory as you build your channel, deluge your legislators with correspondence, wake your neighbors, stock up, and join the C4L!

[greatbroad]

Ron Paul IS 'spot-on' right!!

--Couldn't say it better, myself.

Hope folks in the midwest will come out to the regional conference March 27th in St. Louis, MO

(It's the spot-on right thing to do)

[BlueSkies360]

Whats wrong with mark-to-market?
