@phucksocialism I'm totally on your side dude, but name calling and the terms you use are going to get us no where.. We have to come together to educate the un-educated when it comes to politics. I'm sure with politeness and good solid facts when replying to people will go further to change someones mind about where they stand politically. Lets try and make people understand what Ron Paul is all about instead of shouting vulgarity. Make this country and world a better place 1 minute at a time.
i think what Obama has actually "changed" is verry good , he does what he says , he has brought more "good" to America .
this Ron Paul is a capitalist ! there are too much peope on the streets allready .
i hope Obama stays for another 4 years.
but yeah im European so im used to peeple who are less fortuned having a decent house and having a decent place to stay and getting universial healthcare .
think about that America it would be good to all of you !
At least the "fatty" knows and understands economics better than this old man. His opinions on economics have been proven to be poorly chosen by history. The great depression: Keynesian economics, not his Hayek-Austraian rubbish. If you don't understand economics, please don't vote. You'll be making a poor decision.
vote for him or not, RON PAUL is correct, Health Care is not a "right". He is helping to wake up many people.... If you listen to him carefully, you may wake up too.
@rmondave I am wide awake. And Ron Paul is just another rich Republican and Obama may as well be. I will give Paul credit for wanting to get us out of these sham wars but his economic ideas are exactly what got us to the edge of a catasphrophy. You really believe that health care in the richest country on Earth isn't a right??
@CrystalsandCandles You're absolutely NOT wide awake. If you WERE wide awake you would realize that WE ARE NOT the richest country on Earth. We are 14 TRILLION dollars in deficit and borrowing money from China to pay our bills. Our country cannot sustain the enormous welfare state that the Democrats have created. We have become a society of dependents which have lost the values of 'Self-Reliance' and 'Responsibility'. People need to start taking care of themselves and stop relying on others
Ron Paul is sick! Another rich shill who spouts pro-rich policies.
How would he like to pay 10k a month for education which doesn't get him a job? How would he like when doctors ask him to pay money he doesn't have for treatment he needs? He isn't pro-people, he is pro-rich.
If the government does not help the poor then who does? He won't. So he rather let the rich get richer and let the Christians, Muslims, Jews and Buddhists help the poor? Such irresponsibility.
@arugono Um, did someone force you to pay 10k a month for your education? Steve Jobs dropped out and refused - look what he did. You're not owed a job because you paid 10K a month for education. You don't have to pay 10K for an education - go to a community college, work 50 hours a week, get an internship, and work hard and you'll get a job - or start your own company.
You expecting me to do anything for you because you screwed up and paid 10K a month for education is irreponsible.
Lol.... I only paid 7k a year for a quality education which got me a great job. Of course I come from a Socialist country which pays teachers more than engineers and has a progressive tax system which the rich actually do pay more.
You see... I dun care if Ron Paul drags your so called proud nation to hell. I care when he drags the rest of the world with him.
@arugono Go listen to the mainstream media some more, unless you live in the United States you have no right to come on the internet and post about the so called 'information' that the one sided media has fed you. In America the churches, family and friends took care of the sick. If you listened to this video at all you would see that with competition in the medical field and without inflation medical would be AFFORDABLE for all. Go follow the herd with the rest of the sheep.
"Capitalism would work if it government would stop interfering." That's exactly what Marx said about communism. It failed because it wasn't pure. Either ideology works great in a theoretical laboratory but not in the real world. There must be a more thoughtful combination of the two. That being said, Ron Paul is spot on when it comes to foreign policy.
Even if he couldn't win, which he can and will! I would rather cast my vote for a man who protects are liberty's, rights, and loves this country with no chance of winning!! Then to a war fighting, tax my ass off, More government corrupted crony who wants to fill his pockets!! Its time for a REVOLUTION, RON PAUL 2012!!!!
Corporatism (Fascism) the logical conclusion of a free & unregulated is that someone would rig the game... it is, as Mussolini defined it, the 'merger of state and corporate power.' This is not a far of fantasy that comes once in a blue moon, rather it is the logical conclusion.
How can you say that the problems we are in is due to socialism & then prescribe more capitalism? Can't you see that idea pushes us further on the same path that Ron Paul condemns as corporatism.
@diceyLee Your caught up in systems that are self contradictory, think in term of human nature and psycology. Gov. intervention is the root cause of monopolies, because the gov. forms regulations to destroy the competitors of a few co. that can survive the regulations and cleanup the market. Let me ask you this, in a more perfect world what do you imagine our "sytem" of gov. and economics being?
@steviewonder417 The gov regulates and safety checks products... Multi-national corporations need less breaks given to them & should act as a cash cow for social programs. Banks don't get bailouts from tax payers, but banks are held accountable buy a government built to withstand their $ and influence, a gov that represents the people...
and as John Stewart would say "i'd like someone checking if there is lead in my paint".
@dap0490 yea i know thats the only thing i dont like about him but if obama care gets in the constitution he cant change it if hes president so imma still vote for him lol
I like Ron Paul, but he needs to admit he's wrong about heath care...It's so basic, it should be provided to all....I would be with him all the way, but he thinks the free market will save heath care....people we need to go back to the basics....helping people have homes and health should BE OR ONLY AND FIRST CONCERN.....If not what is the point of even having a government...He is saying we should leave it up to the church...that's cool with me..So why do we need a government?
@morsea30 That is exactly what he is saying. Before the country had Medicare and Medicaid when someone was ill or needed medical attention the persons neighbors, friends, families and the church would help them. There are many christian hospitals that would take them.
While I don't entirely agree with Ron Paul, he makes good points, very good points. We need to have a debate on the role of government. Is it as narrow as Ron Paul suggests? I don't think so. But is it as broad as what we now have? I would say 'no' again. But where do you draw the line? Let's discuss that. Cutting back the military is a one start. Getting money out of politics is the real first start.
RON PAUL, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER! TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW EXACTLY RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? OK LETS SAY ALL TROOPS CAME BACK AND THEN WHAT? THEY ARE GOING TO SELL IPHONES AND BLACKBERRIES? DUDE BE A MEN, HOW RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? POPULATION OF CHINA IS 1.4 B CHINESE WORK LIKE ROBOTS, BE HONEST TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BUY UR BOOK U NEED CASH , U LOVE POWER, U LOVE CASH, U WILL NEVER CREATE JOBS, U HAVE NO ANSWER!
Of all the things Larry King could have said at the close of the interview, he came up with that crap. What he should have said was ... "The next President of The United States, Ron Paul"
@ppashi I was only arguing my own point and was not even acknowledging urs, look up the venus project, scarcity is artificial mostly nowadays and therefore price is no longer needed.
@ppashi "Price" is a function of capitalism. Price exsists because we allocate one to a product or service, that price system is a big part of capitalism. That is why you will never have "free" health care under capitalism. Now under a diff system it will still cost resourses to produce those services, but if we get rid of money those services can be provided free of charge. I know sounds strange, so look up "the venus project" it will explain it better than me here. Money is an illusion value.
Heath is one thing that should be free, however that will never occur in a capitalist system. Capitalism is something that either needs to change or be replaced.
I used to be a democrat. But LBJ was a warmongering asshole. Really was no better and in some ways worse than Nixon. Micheal moore is interesting and may have good intentions but in the end is wrong on some critical issues. Moore complains about the corporations, but he has never gone so far as to really, truly tell the truth about this fascist government and corporate oligarchy we have.
Ok he's wrong about the free market. Without government the only motivator in free market is profit margin. Without government there wouldn't be vehicle recalls, for example. There wouldn't even be seatbelts!
@bvolsky No, you're wrong. There would be vehicle recalls and there would be seat belts. The companies would have to compete for your business therefore safety and customer service would be a HUGE part of what they do. If millions of people complain about something they are going to fix it or else you would go to another automaker. An automaker that failed to produce a quality and safe product would not attract sales therefore going out of business.
@mg86ta1 Nope. No seatbelts. Companies would ignore it. For example: People want huge gas mileage. Cars like the toyota echo get 37 mpg (at least mine does), better than some hybrids. They stopped making it almost ten years ago. You'd think they'd be back on that, with people demanding it. Nope. No more high mpg cars. Geo metro got like 40mpg.. If you want to get a company to do something, legislate it. Otherwise they just mess around. Invisible hand is weak and vague and..invisible.
@bvolsky Are you kidding me? People want huge gas mileage yes, AMERICANS don't. Do you notice how we are the only nation who has a huge market of v8 gas guzzling SUV's and trucks? The Toyota Echo and Geo Metro were discontinued because they are 2 of the ugliest basic cars ever created. I take it you are a Democrat based on your reluctance of a free economy and the need for constant government regulation. Plain and simple if an automaker doesn't want to put seatbelts in their cars
@bvolsky and you don't feel safe enough without them.. You wouldn't purchase the car. The people of the U.S. have become so irresponsible for their own actions and decisions because the Liberal government has created this dependency. It's time people started taking responsibility for themselves and stop depending on others to ensure their safety. There's a thing called common sense and if we want to be a prosperous nation again then idiot Americans are going to have to start getting some.!
@mg86ta1 I was with you until you used the words "common sense." Because that's what every nuanced and complex issue needs. Not doctors, professionals, psychologists, lawmakers, social workers, economists, scientists, researchers, or anyone with any more than superficial secondhand knowledge of an issue.
Common sense! THANK YOU. I'm gonna write my congressperson! On facebook!
@bvolsky Experts mean nothing as long as they are giving advice based on their own personal agenda and personal gains. Government officials go to the experts who they know will give them the answer they want to hear so they can get some credibility for their mistakes. Psychologists create mental diseases so they get paid to diagnose them. Economists try to predict on blind knowledge to gain credibility. Everyone in Washington is there for a paycheck, its time to cut them off.
And yet, any economist could predict, frankly, that Ron Paul will fail in terms of economic policy if elected. Ron Paul will destroy the United States with his outdated economic opinions.
@igotscamed1 Outdated? If you could explain to me how basic economics have changed I would love to be educated. Ron Paul's economic policies are based on no government intervention and if by saying that the free market is dependent on government intervention you are seriously wrong my friend. If by saying going to a gold standard to where the government is regulated money wise based on how much assets it has is bad.. you are also wrong my friend. Big government+spending will and is destroying.
Sorry but a lack of regulation in the financial market was the direct and largest cause of the Global Financial Crisis. Seems like you'd want more regulation there, to stop firms from giving out ridiculous loans that are risky for the whole world. Study up on the GFC buddy. His theories are outdated because they originate from the 1800s, and have not been used since the very early 1900s. His theories never took the world out of the great depression; the theories that he opposed did.
@igotscamed1 Actually, regulation in the financial market is what caused the collapse of Freddy and Fannie. The government forced banks to take bogus loans that were supposed to be 'backed' by the federal government and when it all went to hell everyone started pointing fingers. Do I support the financial market, no not at all. I believe corruption runs from business to government and from public sector to private. I believe eliminating the corruption is a start, if not no policies will work.
That's not financial regulation, that's corrupt and poorly managed financial regulation. In Australia nothing has ever happened like that, and we have more financial regulation. it has to be managed properly.
@igotscamed1 Poorly managed or not, if the government would not have told the banks to take the bad loans, we would not have been in this situation. If banks would just operate on their own there would be more risks, therefore would not accept handing out money like its candy. Government interference has no benefits whatsoever in business, it's a proven fact. If you make irresponsible decisions the taxpayers will bail you out, that's big business motto.
@doksekko Uneducated bullshit? What you spew is directly the same bullshit that everyone is fed into. Maybe you should do a little more research since you are so 'educated' on the whole aspect of the housing collapse and you will realize that it was the governments OVERREGULATION telling them what they had to do that caused it. Moron.
@phucksocialism - and how are you going to do that without the socialized military, the socialized roads, the socialized air traffic, the socialized development of the internet? By the way, Einstein, did you not notice *who is fighting those wars*? Yeah. Your "American Constitutional Republic."
You have no idea what the words your spouting even mean. Why are you talking at all? WOOO RAH RAH WAVE THE FLAG USA USA! What a load of self-important crap.
You can't have it both ways. With all the wars America has been involved in in the last 100 years, you can't say "democracy = war" and at the same time pretend you still live in a 'free constitutional republic'. Stop swallowing Uncle Sam's propaganda. Your cherished republic has long been taken from you, and all of your wars are lies. You want to go back to your ideals? Vote for Ron Paul, or not at all.
P.S. Those wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were STARTED by America. And yes, your *democracy* caused the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's funny how you don't even see that the thing you hate is what you already live in, and is responsible for the war-examples you mention. The last century has proven not only that your "free Constitution Republic" does not live forever, but that it is long DEAD.
Which American constitutional republic? Wake up! You HAVE a democracy. You may not like this fact, but the "constitutional republic" you are talking about hasn't existed since at least the days of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, maybe even further back to Abraham Lincoln who suspended habeus corpus. Your constitution has long been treated like nothing but an ancient relic to be ignored.
@phucksocialism Iraq / Afghanistan / Libya are no direct democracies. Libya is a peoples Republic and Iraq and Afghanistan are forced American puppet governments. The only true democracy, that exists on this planet is Switzerland. We are very free and rich here. No patriot act and intrusion of our privacy. You are the slaves of you government, our government is our slave! Haha. We can do what we want and say what we want and EVERYBODY has a government provided gun!
According to the freedom index, when all freedoms are taken into consideration and weighed equally heavy, Switzerland and Hong Kong are the freest places on Earth. The US is number 6/7/8, tied with Holland and New Zealand. I live in Holland and the "freedom" here is nothing to write home about, so that says something about the US currently. It should be said that if America stuck to their constitution (which they don't) they would be head/shoulders over all other places.
@phucksocialism We killed JFK. Don't blame the FED for the misery that you have brought upon yourselves by supporting the spending of 4000 billion dollars to find an old man and overusing your credit cards. You are no children. You live in a democracy and you had a chance to vote on all of this.
Free market free market free market blah blah blah. Who said anything about making America's system like Britain? just go the way of France, private suppliers. Maybe have some incentives thrown in there and whammo.
Ron Paul wants to bring down the fed!!! This man MUST be elected. Even if he accomplishes 10% of what he intends to this nation will be so much better off. Do your research, he is NOT a neocon. He is NOT racist. He is NOT homophobic. He does NOT support the war on drugs. He truly believes in small government and was a medical doctor most of his life. No ordinary politician here.
philoswalk . com one man, walking from new york to cali protesting for freedom. watch along with live updates as he trecks through our nation. he leaves aug 13th but get to know hiim leading up to the day. hes funny as heck and controversial. this journey will be epic. hes the man for the job. trust. check it out.
In the first minute of this interview, we have received more sensible and forthright talk from a politician, than you have ever heard coming from any other credible politician period, in this modern landscape.
What a tool. Ron Paul and his free market fantasies. For a market to be 'free' and efficient every participant needs to have perfect information, otherwise, it is neither free or efficient.
@twistycat You have it exactly backwards - the whole point of capitalism is to manage risk. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Don't need perfect knowledge.
When we punish risk through regulation and taxes we reduce the incentive to risk. Only Big Business can surmount such regulation, which explains the growth of monopoly capitalism.
In contrast the illicit drug trade shows how free markets CAN WORK. Imagine if we had freedom elsewhere, how well we would live.
@gene15644b So..that's why all of those unregulated credit default swaps worked out so well for everyone? Its possible to have an equilibrium in a competitive game that isn't a pareto efficiency. Credit markets have become all about secrecy instead of transparency and it has nothing to do with regulations, just the ability of counterparties to make sound financial decisions.
@twistycat "Credit Markets", like just about any other market, have a degree of uncertainty and risk. I suspect that in the future Derivatives and Futures would have been looked at with skepticism and higher rates for investors, had the Neo-Cons and Progressives not banded together to "bail out" the losers.
Credit and debt markets always were about "secrecy". To imagine otherwise is to indulge in some self deception. Caveat emptor.
@twistycat if it werent for federal insurance and cheap money credit default swaps would not had been an issue. period. government caused the problem. then bailed out the ones that took advantage.
@michaeljon954 Exactly. They took advantage of the system by capturing regulatory agencies and getting them to relax the rules, or to decline to create new ruegulations around new types of derivatives. Yet, Mr. Paul argues for even less rules. In Paul's worldview, the only law would be force.
@twistycat He mentions market outsourcing of patients to India. What he doesn't mention is how American patients consistently rate the quality care (to the point of seeking services from) of countries with so-called "socialist" medicine they go to. He is right to condemn corporatism (and how Moore falsely links that to all capitalism, as Marxists tend to do) but his own espousal of free-market fundamentalism is equally black & white and ideologically driven interpretation of the facts.
@iamjsmith83 Corporatism, or have you even watched the video. Politicians have their hand in the pockets of mega corporations and vice versa. Business should not effect law and law should not effect business, to an extent, if the business infringes on someones freedom or liberties, than the law is unlawful.
This is the American dream fallacy. It is not about the charity of government. It is about a general system that forbids people living in boxes, uncared for - which is predominant in the USA - and abandoned in ANY way. Even prisoners should be given environments that are decent, not gladiator academies. All essentials should be provided all people. Those who do not work when they can will be on the lowest rung but not left starving and dying on the streets like in all US cities.
@Einsofable What about Scan, Norway is fueling it social system with oil revenues and high taxes, Sweden is on the way of deregulation of the changes made in the 70's. In Finland it helped a nationsocialistic party to enter parlarment. What can we miss? Redistibution of wealth thru the government doesn't work on nation nor international level and the fallout of these policies devastating.
@Sideshowbobx You miss the point. The Scandinavian countries have the highest standards of education, social safety, health care etc - all for free. Crime is non-existent compared to what you have State side. Our system just works better.
you can go way back.and every time america is at war it's economy goes to shit.you have to say no to war.you do not need these con men controlling your economy.
when you gonna realise that these people i.e the banks want you to be at war all the time.because you have to borrow money from them to fight in a war.then you have to pay them back with interest.
i think what he's saying is if he wins.he will get ride of the illegal tax on labour so you will have your own money to save for yourself.you will be taxed a lot less if he gets rid of the departments that are costing you so much of your income.federal banks out first.decrease government jobs.massive saving for the tax payer.then cut down spending on war.defence shouldn't cost billions of dollar's.it only costs billions when you invade and occupy.
This may be the last opportunity for America to reverse this track of destruction we are on – and a chance to rebuild a system of governance that understands its true role, to protect our freedoms and support the right to private property and the accumulation of wealth. Liberties well understood by those who architected American's Constitution and the Bill of Rights. RON PAUL 2012 <3333
I would give anything for Michael Moore to go head to head with Ron Paul and to see Moore get verbally abused and crushed. I watched Moore's 'Capitalism' documentary and that fat retard made more of a case FOR capitalism than against it... I laughed so hard I was in tears.
"mans imperfect" the best excuse for everything these religion fakirs use to have it both ways.
This guy wants full captialism.. with the hybrid capitalism we have now the top 1% own more than half the wealth of the country. When they talk 'hard' choices, they mean you can go ahead and die. I've got my healthcare you don't need any. Where's the family and christian values there? THERE ISN'T ANY!
@hansson2000 "ron paul is lying stack of shit. great politics argument... i hope ppl can see threw him"
I knew who Ron Paul was in 2000, before he was on the national scene. He really is an honest politician. If you spend some time looking through his voting record, you'll see that he does what he says.
I would never vote for him for state or local government, because I disagree with some of his beliefs, but from the point of view of FEDERAL government, he's 100% correct.
pls remove american federal goverment. I bet you havent reed any more history then american historiy science (u havent read history in conflict?) .what would happend if you did what paul want? .. and another thing You hear him saying "belive in freedom" he doesnt saids one word on democracy. he only have one dogmatism answer and thats free market.
@fuzzywzhe not so much english litteratur, but that will only leap to a logic queastion; so? if you want to know how much i read american history well i lived in usa and went too american public schools.
@hansson2000 I grew up up in the US and attended public school. You meant to write, and I quote:
"not so much English literature, but that will only leap to(lead to?) a logic question; so? If you want to know how much I've read American history, well i lived in the USA and went to an American public school."
I'm not making fun of you. I'm just telling you why I'm going to ignore you from now on.
A man falls down in the st. with a heart attack who is broke and we, as a society has no responsibility to help him -Paul says we don't have a history of that happening?? He's out of touch - YES it has happened! He makes "socialism" sound like a dirty word-tell you what, a society that helps 1 another is the strongest nation on earth. I like R. Paul & have agreed w/some of his stuff. He's actually agreeing w/Moore on capitalism. He also agrees on Moore about Afganistan. So much for the "vs"
@Powitree1 "A man falls down in the st. with a heart attack who is broke and we, as a society has no responsibility to help him -Paul says we don't have a history of that happening?? He's out of touch - YES it has happened!"
@fuzzywzhe - It is a metaphor for all those who have fallen and been passed over by the system, but specifically, there was the news story a couple years ago of someone who'd turned up at a for profit hospital with chest pains - the hospital staff person called a cab and had this person taken several blocks away and dropped off on a street corner. (Presumably because the person was unable to pay for care). That person subsequently died without proper medical care. Patient's name: Unknown.
@Powitree1 "It is a metaphor for all those who have fallen and been passed over by the system"
Everybody lives in a system. Get over it.
We have a HIGHLY corrupt government. It has lied you into a war, it has stolen all the social security surplus (2 trillion dollars) and it's given money to CRIMINALS in our financial sector.
You want to trust THAT MONSTROSITY with health care? How fucking dumb are you?
You want health care? Implement it in your state, not the federal level.
@fuzzywzhe - fuzzyyesUr - my comments did not refer to the government ~ my comments did speak of society being of help to one another -that certainly could refer to implementation by the states. Not once in my comments did I say Healthcare should fall to the Federal Gvrnmt. You do not know me - you do not know enough about me or my views to pass judgement on my intelligence-low blows will get you nowhere. Take your anger to the voting booth, Sir, not to your fellow American.
@Powitree1 "that certainly could refer to implementation by the states...Not once in my comments did I say Healthcare should fall to the Federal Gvrnmt.."
Good, because you can always leave a state if you don't like what your state government does.
It's amazing that we're even debating whether the political system favored by Michael Moore and Barack Obama is Socialism; anyone who knows economics and the lessons of history recognizes what they are trying to foist upon us. After socialistic government has starved and oppressed so many people in so many marxist countries, now they want to try it here.
@Fenrirsdoom "socialist? Seriously? Public healthcare is a good thing "
Wait, so you trust a government that lied you into war, that squandered the Social Security Surplus on any number of wars, and bailouts of corrupt banking executives, to run public health care?
We have far too much corruption in our government to allow such a thing. Our government is corrupt, so corrupt, it's bankrupted the next generation.
Can this guy run already so we can start campaign, I guess we just have to start before he dose so lets all do our part to get Ron Paul elected in 2012! RON PAUL 2012
Ron Paul is kind hearted and all, but he's become fully indoctrinated into the dogma of principles, throwing a complete blind eye to any consequences these principles may inflict on the population, and his belief in these principles is based entirely on assertion, not observational conclusions.
@VolcanicPenguin major change to a correct fourn and monetary policy may hurt in the short term but its far better then the alternative of staying on-board current policy as it sinks to the bottom of the ocean that is loss of sovereignty death of the dolor and eventual slavery
@VolcanicPenguin principals is the foundation of all societies. The principals he is talking about is what spawned the most freedom and prospierty this coutnry has ever seen.
he has spoken about how if we were to go back to a limited govt, it would be by baby steps, not just all at once.
@VolcanicPenguin that actually is a great example of todays problems. Look at where the technology is being used today. All our energy goes towards creating weapons of mass destruction instead of infrastructure and health
Principals is the foundation of all action. It is the basic understanding that develops into bigger understandings.
@VolcanicPenguin principals is the foundation of all societies. The principals he is talking about is what spawned the most freedom and prosperity this coutnry has ever seen.
he has spoken about how if we were to go back to a limited govt, it would be by baby steps, not just all at once.
He really would make an excellent leader. I usually don't agree with the republican philosophy, I can't find anything wrong with what Ron Paul states.
You know black people hate Ron Paul because he is about freedom from government , government programs and other reasons...but I'm black and I'm voting for this guy...Obama stop spending!!!!!!!!!
The only point that ron paul made that I disagree with is that he doesn't believe we should be a mixed ecnonomy, aka Capitalism & socialism mixed. Before socialist organizations like our fire services.
People had to have a mark on their home for fire fighters to help the people. Pretty much firefighters worked like mercenaries before they became a social service. If you didn't have the mark, they would ignore the home, let everyone in it burn to death.
I was ecstatic when Obama won 2008, but after hearing Paul on drug laws etc i would vote for him over Obama. Where are the next generation of Libertarians in US politics? Its all tea party conservatives, who are really just the same old conservatives! Ron Paul is alone in Washington.
I was at work and some of my co workers were talking about how they go to Mexico for certain medical needs/drugs because they are too expensive here.

I will give Paul credit for wanting to get us out of these sham wars but his economic ideas are exactly what got us to the edge of a catasphrophy. You really believe that health care in the richest country on Earth isn't a right??

@CrystalsandCandles You're absolutely NOT wide awake. If you WERE wide awake you would realize that WE ARE NOT the richest country on Earth. We are 14 TRILLION dollars in deficit and borrowing money from China to pay our bills. Our country cannot sustain the enormous welfare state that the Democrats have created. We have become a society of dependents which have lost the values of 'Self-Reliance' and 'Responsibility'. People need to start taking care of themselves and stop relying on others

Ron Paul is sick! Another rich shill who spouts pro-rich policies.
How would he like to pay 10k a month for education which doesn't get him a job? How would he like when doctors ask him to pay money he doesn't have for treatment he needs? He isn't pro-people, he is pro-rich.
If the government does not help the poor then who does? He won't. So he rather let the rich get richer and let the Christians, Muslims, Jews and Buddhists help the poor? Such irresponsibility.

@arugono Um, did someone force you to pay 10k a month for your education? Steve Jobs dropped out and refused - look what he did. You're not owed a job because you paid 10K a month for education. You don't have to pay 10K for an education - go to a community college, work 50 hours a week, get an internship, and work hard and you'll get a job - or start your own company.
You expecting me to do anything for you because you screwed up and paid 10K a month for education is irreponsible.

"Capitalism would work if it government would stop interfering." That's exactly what Marx said about communism. It failed because it wasn't pure. Either ideology works great in a theoretical laboratory but not in the real world. There must be a more thoughtful combination of the two. That being said, Ron Paul is spot on when it comes to foreign policy.

Corporatism (Fascism) the logical conclusion of a free & unregulated is that someone would rig the game... it is, as Mussolini defined it, the 'merger of state and corporate power.' This is not a far of fantasy that comes once in a blue moon, rather it is the logical conclusion.
How can you say that the problems we are in is due to socialism & then prescribe more capitalism? Can't you see that idea pushes us further on the same path that Ron Paul condemns as corporatism.

@ppashi "Price" is a function of capitalism. Price exsists because we allocate one to a product or service, that price system is a big part of capitalism. That is why you will never have "free" health care under capitalism. Now under a diff system it will still cost resourses to produce those services, but if we get rid of money those services can be provided free of charge. I know sounds strange, so look up "the venus project" it will explain it better than me here. Money is an illusion value.

@mg86ta1 Nope. No seatbelts. Companies would ignore it. For example: People want huge gas mileage. Cars like the toyota echo get 37 mpg (at least mine does), better than some hybrids. They stopped making it almost ten years ago. You'd think they'd be back on that, with people demanding it. Nope. No more high mpg cars. Geo metro got like 40mpg..

Sorry but a lack of regulation in the financial market was the direct and largest cause of the Global Financial Crisis. Seems like you'd want more regulation there, to stop firms from giving out ridiculous loans that are risky for the whole world. Study up on the GFC buddy. His theories are outdated because they originate from the 1800s, and have not been used since the very early 1900s. His theories never took the world out of the great depression; the theories that he opposed did.

@igotscamed1 Actually, regulation in the financial market is what caused the collapse of Freddy and Fannie. The government forced banks to take bogus loans that were supposed to be 'backed' by the federal government and when it all went to hell everyone started pointing fingers. Do I support the financial market, no not at all. I believe corruption runs from business to government and from public sector to private. I believe eliminating the corruption is a start, if not no policies will work.

When we punish risk through regulation and taxes we reduce the incentive to risk. Only Big Business can surmount such regulation, which explains the growth of monopoly capitalism.
In contrast the illicit drug trade shows how free markets CAN WORK. Imagine if we had freedom elsewhere, how well we would live.

I've got my healthcare you don't need any. Where's the family and christian values there? THERE ISN'T ANY!

I knew who Ron Paul was in 2000, before he was on the national scene. He really is an honest politician. If you spend some time looking through his voting record, you'll see that he does what he says.
I would never vote for him for state or local government, because I disagree with some of his beliefs, but from the point of view of FEDERAL government, he's 100% correct.

A man falls down in the st. with a heart attack who is broke and we, as a society has no responsibility to help him -Paul says we don't have a history of that happening?? He's out of touch - YES it has happened! He makes "socialism" sound like a dirty word-tell you what, a society that helps 1 another is the strongest nation on earth. I like R. Paul & have agreed w/some of his stuff. He's actually agreeing w/Moore on capitalism. He also agrees on Moore about Afganistan. So much for the "vs"

@fuzzywzhe - It is a metaphor for all those who have fallen and been passed over by the system, but specifically, there was the news story a couple years ago of someone who'd turned up at a for profit hospital with chest pains - the hospital staff person called a cab and had this person taken several blocks away and dropped off on a street corner. (Presumably because the person was unable to pay for care). That person subsequently died without proper medical care. Patient's name: Unknown.

Everybody lives in a system. Get over it.
We have a HIGHLY corrupt government. It has lied you into a war, it has stolen all the social security surplus (2 trillion dollars) and it's given money to CRIMINALS in our financial sector.
You want to trust THAT MONSTROSITY with health care? How fucking dumb are you?
You want health care? Implement it in your state, not the federal level.
fuzzywzhe 9 months ago
@fuzzywzhe - fuzzyyesUr - my comments did not refer to the government ~ my comments did speak of society being of help to one another -that certainly could refer to implementation by the states. Not once in my comments did I say Healthcare should fall to the Federal Gvrnmt. You do not know me - you do not know enough about me or my views to pass judgement on my intelligence-low blows will get you nowhere. Take your anger to the voting booth, Sir, not to your fellow American.

Good, because you can always leave a state if you don't like what your state government does.

Since when did Micheal Moore become an authority on anything other than bacon-cheeseburgers?
Why don't we ask his advice on picking up girls?
-or how to dress cool.
Then again, he could give slob lessons, or kiss-up lessons.

It's amazing that we're even debating whether the political system favored by Michael Moore and Barack Obama is Socialism; anyone who knows economics and the lessons of history recognizes what they are trying to foist upon us. After socialistic government has starved and oppressed so many people in so many marxist countries, now they want to try it here.

Wait, so you trust a government that lied you into war, that squandered the Social Security Surplus on any number of wars, and bailouts of corrupt banking executives, to run public health care?
We have far too much corruption in our government to allow such a thing. Our government is corrupt, so corrupt, it's bankrupted the next generation.

Ron Paul and Michael Moore should join forces in 2012. They have alot in common.
And to Ron Paul, he might take a look at Police, Firefighters, Army, Coast Guard and other services payed for by the government.

Ron Paul is kind hearted and all, but he's become fully indoctrinated into the dogma of principles, throwing a complete blind eye to any consequences these principles may inflict on the population, and his belief in these principles is based entirely on assertion, not observational conclusions.

@VolcanicPenguin principals is the foundation of all societies. The principals he is talking about is what spawned the most freedom and prospierty this coutnry has ever seen.
he has spoken about how if we were to go back to a limited govt, it would be by baby steps, not just all at once.

I generally disagree, although principles do make out a part of our society I see more important factors like technological capabilities.

@VolcanicPenguin that actually is a great example of todays problems. Look at where the technology is being used today. All our energy goes towards creating weapons of mass destruction instead of infrastructure and health
Principals is the foundation of all action. It is the basic understanding that develops into bigger understandings.

The only point that ron paul made that I disagree with is that he doesn't believe we should be a mixed ecnonomy, aka Capitalism & socialism mixed. Before socialist organizations like our fire services.
People had to have a mark on their home for fire fighters to help the people. Pretty much firefighters worked like mercenaries before they became a social service. If you didn't have the mark, they would ignore the home, let everyone in it burn to death.
