Heres a radical thought, lets abolish this Gov. that has held us down with laws that we don,t have any say about , Through what is supposed to be a Congress, that its main job is to Represent us.I think if we had leaders who had some merits and balls to tell it like it is like Ron Paul We could put our heads together, and Weed out the People in Congress that think we are there gravy train , and that they have all the rights .And if we don,t agree thats just to bad for us. Time to change it.
Wtf? "radical thoughts are difficult to have when things are very tough." Yeah right.. Not in fascism land (or are they really radical?! .. like blaming everything on a minority, which has obviously be done for many centuries).
I don't know Lori.. You should have defined 'radical' more thoroughly, I think.
people label ron paul many things but i've never heard "radical". I think of him as the opposite of radical. you say the word an insane amount of times
Ron Paul is not radical, he is logical and rational. We have been raised and educated by corrupt government propaganda our entire lives.
We don't need rulers, if you have a ruler... you are a SLAVE!
Their best trick was giving us the illusion of freedom, but they are the kings and we are still the slave peasant workers being extorted for tax. TAX is EVIL! TAX is THEFT! the state will never be punished for this crime but you will if you don't pay up.
Ron Paul is hardly radical - he's a right wing libertarian reactionary. To go even further, Ron Paul isn't promoting "new" ideas. He wants to go back to the Gold Standard, wants to repeal Roe v. Wade, staunchly supports states rights and wants to dismantle all worker and consumer protection laws.
Freedom and liberty my ass! Ron Paul wants to establish a tyranny of the business class. You don't have to be a "statist" or leftist radical to understand that.
i think ron paul has his heart in the right place and what he envisions is great, but i think pure free market capitalism would in time lead to a few more very very rich people and hundreds of thousands or millions of very poor working class people as the capitalist classes would have free reign to exploit everyone, unless workers stood up for themselves and demanded good wages through unions and such, if that happened then maybe it would work, who knows.
You do! If you think going through a 3rd party (government) is going to be cheaper than paying for these services directly you'd be mistaken. I have worked out the cost of services in Britain to be around £2000 per year to pay for all our services yet I pay approximately £10,000 in taxes.
eg. in England for every £100 in taxes spent on schools the bureaucrats get £99 and only £1 is actually spent on educating our children.
"Who pays for the schools?" Local Property tax. "pays the teachers?" Local Property Pays for the roads? Gas Tax "For the police?" City and County Sales and Property Tax "For the fire dept?" City and County Sales and Property Tax
" It doesn't run on magic." It Also doesn't solely run on Federal Funding. Federal funding only accounts for a small portion. It gains the federal gov. jurisdiction where otherwise they would have none.
@sga86 About #4, research the President Reagan's "Grace Commission" of what happens with our income tax.
"...two thirds of everyone’s personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by INTEREST on the federal debt... all individual income tax revenues are GONE before one NICKLE is spent on the services [that] taxpayers EXPECT from their government."
Christ, you free market fundamentalists are as bad as any religious zealot.
No institution, no political system and no ECONOMIC system is above reproach. Right wing libertarians like Ron Paul are beneath contempt as what they advocate (including abolition of worker and consumer protection laws and privatization of public land) is essentially a tyranny of the business class.
Fuck Ron Paul and his Ayn Rand-worshipping followers.
So your against tyranny of the business classes but support the tyranny of monopolistic governments?
And NO, under a truly free market system you don't lose consumer protection laws as the free market responds to accommodate its clients or they wouldn't have any and workers just need to make sure they have a contract, its that simple.
Governments on the other hand have you by the balls, you have no choice but to pay or you'll be locked away in an institutionalised rape room.
The states also have worker and consumer protection laws. Abolition of federal statutes would not mean there are no laws to protect the workers and consumers. The states that write the best laws would prosper leading to a "free market" competition among the states. The deficient states would conform to be more prosperous. Federal regulations hamper this process. Under US Constitution People = State, Ron Paul advocates state rights appropriately.
@owensaruba Your right my man thats what was org. intended i think there only a few states at the time made it a little easier but , i think that was our founding fathers intentions commerce between states . sounds logical to me. The states can pass some pretty non common sense laws on their own . let alone having the Fed. Gov. add their two cents worth . Local Gov. can make you jump thru hoops enough let alone the state .But people should be more involved in what does get passed for laws .
people need to be educated about their liberties. curriculum's are designed as to teach what is necessary and not go beyond what is required. constitutions need to be taught in elementary so people grow up fighting for liberty.
It's weird that everyone says their afraid of Change but Obama ran and won on "change". That slogan, "change" is a word used and never implemented. Also, you may want to follow this one up with the money that goes into the Dems and Republicans initiative. Ron Paul will NEVER have a chance if true change is never realized in politics.
That Zeitgeist Addendum is a LOAD OF CRAP. You should see what Alex Jones has to say abou it. I dont trust Jones but I agree with him on his views of Addendum. It's supposed to be a solution but it's just more of what's causing the problem.
I endorse Zeitgeist but I reject Addendum Bullshit.
Its even sadder when he gets labeled as a right wing domestic terrorist for saying the government sucks and has expanded outside the confines of the constitution. I guess Washington doesn't like it when its citizens get to "uppity" or something.
"The bottom line is the economic practices of the last decade have not worked." - OH my dear dear Resident, it goes so much further than the last decade and GWB.
To have a working currency, you need to have adequate total exchange value to cover all the transactions in the economy at any given moment. Does all the gold and silver in the world currently have enough exchange value to replace all existing fiat currency? No. But here is why that doesn't matter - THE EXCHANGE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER WILL RISE IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED DEMAND AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE UNTIL IT REACHES THE NEEDED LEVEL.
Well you might be right but I think it might be a good idea to peg the dollar to something instead of relying on its ethereal value. Once it is pegged it will hold its value because it will always be worth the same amount by whatever we pegged it to. So if we peg it to something like "pounds of tree bark" it will always be worth that many pounds of tree bark.
i think he should have been president a long time ago. i wish he would be one day before he passes on. because hes up in your face and tells it like it is plus is not afraid to take on anybody or company that is full of crap that just tells us what we want to hear. peace. gregg
Ron Paul wants to correct the mistake that Nixon made by dissolving the Gold backed currency. The volitility of the dollar has been so inconsistent that it really has no value. Our power and influence economically will die once the dollar is worthless due to the treasury printing more paper currency by the TRILLIONS. Ron Paul is also a Republican who is seen as a GOP outcast. The REAL maverick. Buy gold and silver NOW!!
I agree. I wish more people who support Ron Paul actually listen to what he actually says instead of just being hypnotized by his amazing ability to make every other word out of his mouth either "freedom" or "liberty" even when it's not actually connected to anything resembling a rational thought.
I whole-heartedly wish that more people listened to Ron Paul. I wanted him to be the next president of the US, but it's always either been a democrat or republican in office and no one can get out of thinking that there are other different types of political views. I hope I like to see the day when the citizens of the US are wise and begin to start LISTENING.
Ron Paul is a fascinating candidate. He is the only person I've seen with tons of internet support on freedom issues as well as a lot of support on pro-life issues. I would love for him to make more appearance on the national scene. I think what held him back was that he didn't tow either party line.
Apparently you have never studied economics...with a global economy the fiat system is the only system that could cover the vast amount of capital needed to run the world economy. They supply of gold or other precious metals that Mr. Paul would suggest back our money is too scarce. Maybe if you took the time to research what you're talking about you wouldn't sound like a complete moron. Now really who is the weak human?
i dont know who's the "weak human" (stupid saying) but i think i found whats stuck up your ass so
Ill admit it. I was the one who took your bicycle. I don't know what came over me. The red color attracted me, along with that banana seat, and the reflectors on the back, and that horn was a thrill.
I lost my bike, and I needed another one, so I took it. I am sorry. I'll send it right back to you.
fatherpunk, why don't you get a lock for your bikes?
The market will adjust the exchange value of gold and silver to meet demand.
The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.
Think of it another way Imagine that you now need to pay your employee one ounce of gold a month for him to do his job The demand for gold will drive up its exchange value remember the law of supply and demand because it will be in demand for use as money So then you only have to pay your employee half an ounce of gold The same amount of gold goes twice as far It is as if the supply of money has increased to meet the demand without causing a loss of value the way inflating a fiat currency does
Yeah, being a doctor who doesn't believe in evolution is definitely radical. It's as radical as driving a school bus full of small children while blindfolded. America could use less delusional "mavericks" like Ron Paul & more people who are actually able to put their own world views under the microscope.
And if you make vague predictions of doom all the time, sooner or later something bad is bound to happen. That doesn't mean your "predictions have started to come true."
I'm agnostic and support Ron Paul. His theological views are irrelevant when applied to the political realm. Your criticism of Dr. Paul would be the equivalent of me judging Obama based on his poor bowling skills, completely irrelevant.
How can his religious views possibly be seen as irrelevant to his politics? Clearly his political stance on many important issues is directly related to his interpretation of Bronze Age philosophy from supporting the teaching of religion instead of science in science classrooms, to abortion & a host of other issues that affect millions of lives every day. Thus making your bowling example a false analogy. I've yet to hear Obama make a single decision based on what he read in a bowling manual.
Well, everyone has a belief system, even if that belief is to not put faith in anything (or not believe there is anything to put faith in). However, that person would still be making political decisions based on their own personal philosophy. Every decision is a value judgment. I know plenty of people who don't believe in God who think abortion is wrong. I also know people who believe in God who think it is fine. The whole "but he believes in God, so it affects his decisions" argument is trite.
Yes, there are irrational atheists as much as there are irrational theists. But when some1 is as religious as Ron Paul is, it's absurd to claim it's irrelevant to Paul's politics when his religious views so obviously have directly influenced his position on numerous major issues from abortion to teaching factually wrong ideas in science classrooms, etc. A public servant basing their public policy on Bronze Age mythology rather than modern science is anything but trite. It's a disgrace.
wow! yes! i agree with twill... FINALLY!! the is the first video ive seen from the resident that i believe to be progressive and educational rather than the same old close-minded thinking and rhetoric than the mainstream media wants us to discuss. post more like these... please. people need to start waking up before its too late.
Finally.!!!!/// People should have listened to Ron Paul ..... but here is the thing.. the administration is going to do whatever they want.. with or without Ron Paul... If you think Ron Paul id crazy... maybe you should look at Obabma and his administration bill H.R.1388... maybe H.R. 645 , 875 .... come on people wake up.. Resident do your job, i love you but you should be exposing the stuff for what it is.people aren't aware of these bills, your a reporter, start reporting .
There's also a correlation between doctor visits and illness, but that doesn't mean you're getting sick because you went to the doctor. Most people don't go to the doctor unless they're sick.
Government only intervenes if things are already going wrong. When things are going fine, no intervention is necessary.
Yes it has right after the French revolution when economic liberals pushed laissez fair principals. You could also argue that during the industrial revolution there was little to no regulation that is why Reagan and others were only neo liberals due to the negativity of being a complete liberal on economic policy
Reagan was a conservative, not a liberal, and his economic strategies have been tried and failed many times. In the time after the French Revolution, the economy pretty much had nowhere to go but up; the market will often fix it's own problems, just like the human body. If it hadn't fixed itself, it would have died and we would never have heard of it.
I meant that Reagan had neoliberal economic policies which means they are almost like Ron Paul's in calling for complete deregulation but not all the way. Not that he was liberal in a political sense. And my point about the French revolution is that after that many of the ideas Ron Paul talks about were in place and we saw that was not a long term economic model
I actually support deregulation because businesses have the right to control their own affairs as they see fit. Now I'm not saying that businesses should be lawless because the public has to be protected from fraud and possible harm but regulations that are designed to control how they run themselves can be devastating.
Nobody's gonna argue with that. Any business should be able to run itself as it sees fit, so long as it does not interfere with the rights of individuals.
The only organization that is capable of taking away someone's rights is the govt.
I wonder why so many people on the left seemed to adement* about the dangers of businesses taking away our rights yet don't seem to have the same fear about govt?
That's not true. Television companies can and often do censor free expression (so does Youtube), and phone companies have access to enough personal information to violate someone's privacy rights thoroughly. That's not mentioning all the violations of employee's rights by their employers, and victimization of ignorant consumers by people selling falsely advertised products (basically stealing).
I've never heard of anyone (right or left) who didn't worry about the government trying to take our rights, so your "so many people on the left" don't really exist. Fortunately, the new administration has expressed an intent to end all the spying on civilians, torturing prisoners, arresting/assaulting peaceful protesters and imprisoning innocents that was so popular with the RIGHT wing a very short time ago.
Gotcha, thanks for explaining. But, we saw deregulation taking place in the years leading up to the current economic crisis as well (particularly in the banking area), and the results weren't so good.
u know ron paul might have some crazy ideas but he seems to be the only one who cares about stopping inflation..what we need is to not have politics and government together...the fed reserve are just a bunch of people who print money..and the government protects them by making it illegal for anyone else to do so..maybe when the government and polotics stop screwing the countrys own people things might get better..but no one likes to share the wealth no matter how much they have :(
Part of what hurts Ron Paul is he has boatloads of very vocal, bat shit crazy supporters. I cannot even count how many times I saw people on youtube with account names or posts supporting Paul in the last election that were also posting incredibly moronic conspiracy theory garbage, like the WTC is a hologram and it never collapsed etc. I know every politician has followers they aren't proud of, but Ron Paul seems to have A LOT of them, and it certainly doesn't help him.
I think he attracts a lot of liberals because they think he is a "good republican" so they say the support him but when he talks he sounds super conservative when speaks of limited government. I think its more of a perception problem with the left than anything else.
The whole "WTC NEVER FELL" thing started out as a joke, an attempt to take all the existing conspiracy theories to their eventual stupid conclusion. Another good one is when someone says everything on the news is a lie, say "hell yeah, that whole Iraq War thing never happened. We're just rounding up our soldiers and putting them in gas chambers."
Problem with parodying crazy people is, some of them actually fit the parody better than the parody does...
I notice the foreign people are more ready to admit that radical ideas are necessary. I mean compare swiss and european culture to american culture. They are alot more easy going about sexuality in television commercials and stuff like that, and pushing through religious barriers. Americans are like pacified infants. Someone took the pacifier out of their mouth and now they are whining for it to be put back.
I don't know if you actually looked around but most Americans are pretty horny and their mouths and minds are really filthy. I think we broke the barriers.
No their mouths are filthy because they are horny and they are horny because they aren't getting sex. The media makes it look like they are but they're not. Cause=effect.
Dude, while he was campaigning I saw a speech where he said he wanted the pharmaceutical industry shut down. It's only common sense if you're crazy, or you're not listening.
The FDA is entirely corrupt. Did you just find this out now? LOL
He was a member of the House Caucus for Affordable Pharmaceuticals, which seeks to eliminate rules and regulations that benefit drug companies at the expense of consumers.
He hates the FDA and wants it entirely restructured, as you me and everyone else SHOULD.
Ron Paul is a medical doctor, i think he knows what he's talking about when it comes to the FDA.
I have seen examples of corrupt actions by the FDA (as with every organization, ever) but to say they're "entirely corrupt" is just as silly as saying law enforcement is entirely corrupt. Some of those "rules and regulations" do benefit drug companies (for example, Dole can't market cherries as cancer prevention), but most of them simply prevent said companies from marketing fake drugs as real ones (that's why "alternative remedies" lack FDA endorsement).
Im putting the FDA and drug companies together here, but It most certainly is entirely corrupt, when your goal is to make profits because of your obligation to shareholders while masquerading behind the assumption that your goal is to cure people. I mean just look at the profits of the drug companies. The FDA wont allow anyone from buying cheaper drugs from places like Canada and give hillarious excuses. Canadians are healthier than we are, and we're afraid of their drugs? hahaha clearly bull.
Isn't that a little like putting the IRS and tax evaders together?
Also, a drug company that doesn't cure people will not make as much profit as it would if it sold products that work. The goal of profit and curing people are connected. I agree about the price gauging though, that's some bullshite.
When I logged on youtube today and saw this video I thought...."The Resident finally supports Ron Paul!!" ....but then she calls him a radical.....If you asked the founding fathers whose policies are more radical the Rep/Dem or Ron Paul republicans Id think the answer would be obvious....I still love you tho resident you seem to be catching on quicker than most.
Is Ron Paul really radical? What's more radical, a guy who says we borrow and spend too much, or a president that wants to borrow $3 Trillion from China and basically make us Chinese sharecroppers?
radical = anything that opposes mainstream media
Ron Paul makes more sense than Obama, he just didn't dance on Ellen and doesn't have a smooth tone to his voice
Hyperinflation is almost guaranteed to hit the US and time is running out to get out of the Dollar. I suggest you prepare your family and friends by having them visit: Inflation . us
I am not talking specifically about contemporary American Economics there is a reason government regulation was implemented after failed attempts at laissez fair economics in Europe and the USA. because unregulated markets don't protect peoples rights.
Ron Paul radical??? your reality is radical!!!your government is radical!!! your NWO is radical!!! Ron Paul radical???realist, REALIST!!!abolish the FED!!! just because you were living in a bubble, doesnt mean it was normal!!!stupid reporter!!!
I tried listening to Ron Paul - but the one thing that frustrates me about him is that he never really offered a concrete plan. He complains a lot about what people are doing, but he doesn't present a plan that works better. Now, I know there are rabid Ron Paul fans who will flame me - but link me to a website that lists his PLAN - not his complaints... his simply explained plan. Reply to this though so I can see it. (Personally I'm for MORE regulation and also letting bad corps FAIL)
I think his solutions are so simple that you and many others simply cannot believe that they are solutions. In general, if it is not in the Constitution, then our government doesn't do it. End of story.
What you've stated here is not more enlightening than a statement like "Yes we can" or "I like Ike" as a political platform - their slogans - not plans. That's not a platform, it's an attitude. The reason I read up on Ron Paul to begin with was an interest in his views on the constitution and Federal Reserve. But, again, in four comments most of which support Paul - not one gave me a link which itemized his actual STEPS of change. An idea and a plan are very different.
I see what your saying; come to think of it now I can't recall too many of Ron Paul's solutions. I can only think of one: get rid of the Federal Reserve.
But at least the guy knows the system we have now, isn't working and he often explains why.
Ron Paul gave nothing but solutions to his "complaints"..... he never changed his tune on anything....... but i suspect that you think "Change" and "Yes we can" were solid plans because people prefer lies from a 3/4 white guy that looks dark over truth and the reality of the american/world matrix.... no wars and befriending all peoples and nations is the Single Most Constructive plan I have ever heard/read from any politician EVER!
He doesn't offer any solutions because the govt isn't legally empowered to enact any solutions. The constitution gives the govt a few powers and it can't go beyond those powers which is why a strict constitutionalist like him doesn't offer any because it would be going against what he believes.
Not sure if I agree with Ron Paul on deregulation of market & making the government smaller. I think that was why we are in this mess when the financial institutions were under regulated or unregulated. He also doesn't believe in social programs such as social security, public health care or medicare, unemployment benefits, and wants to make the size of the government so small that it virtually goes away. But among all republicans, Ron Paul is the best one out of them. I do agree with him on FP
Ron Paul is simply pushing for a laissez fair market system which is not new. We have heard many libertarians calling for that economic model for years. That model has been tried and failed we need real new ideas not just repackaged old ones
If by "tried and failed" you are referring to the current economic situation, then you are grossly mistaken. Nothing even remotely resembling a laissez-faire market has existed in the United States for about a century, and we have had a full blown Keynesian system since the great depression.
Mostly since the Great Depression when Government became invasive and increasingly so to this day, capitalism wasn't be allowed to function. It therefore cannot blamed. Conservatives of the day, btw, considered FDR a socialist. Our deficits and markets heavily manipulated by the government and the Federal Reserve, are responsible for the mess.
Good as always! I'm not Ron Paul's biggest fan, but I do like his passion and the newness of his ideas. A year ago I would've called him crazy for wanting to abolist the Federal Reserve, but after all they've done, I don't think it's so crazy.
Number 1, abolist should be a word! hahaha and Number 2, the best thing is that his new ideas are based on super old conservative ideas. Who knew that being old school would become radical? Not me. That's for sure. :) Good stuff, NsaneNtheNbrane (PS do you know that Cypress hill song? It rules.)
I'm sure in your world that might be true but if communist are to the left and fascist to the right but that just reflects the thinking of how some people see governments. Apparently their is only one form of control or the other. I view both communism and fascism on the same side.
If you're viewing it simply from a control vs no control dichotomy, then yes, every form of government is the exact same. However, that is a point of view that ignores any and all facts about said forms of government. You can be liberal without being communist (most liberals are) and you can be conservative without being fascist (most conservatives are). Equating them would be taking things to an illogical extreme, like calling every adult who disciplines their child a slave-owner.
No, but if you think the modern conservative movement actually believes in less government and less government control over our lives, then you haven't paid attention to any of their actions. Ever.
You seem like you'd fit in better with a libertarian crowd than with the neocons, they don't share your convictions and their actions have shown it. Then again, many libertarians are all talk too...
I don't really think you understand the concept of "less govt" at all. It shows in your view of the political spectrum that most liberals have. Communist on the left and fascist on the right. Is that all we have as a choice? Is that the only political systems that the left sees and everything else is derivatives of? I would like a third option if that is the only choice we have!
uberjim83 - "communist and fascist are opposites." Really? Maybe you should asked the million imprisoned and murdered under communist and fascist regimes how different they are. Ooop you can't because their dead.
Noam Chomsky is a hypocrite piece of $hit. He would have you believe he's the average working man's friend... which couldn't be further from the trout.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Your comment is full of crap. Ron Paul is NOT the working man's friend. He believe in a quasi Anarcho Capitalist society. That's just about the worst thing you can do for Liberty (aside from communism that is which is it's polar opposite in extremism).
Capitalism must be replaced with a new system. We cannot have Liberty within a cost/price system.
We've used money since the dawn of civilization, your overthinking the problem. The "state" has always tried to monopolize money that is the root of the problem.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin (1802)
The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government of the U.S. ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson
Paper is poverty, it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself." Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1788
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
George Orwell
Competition [i.e. capitalism] is a sin.
I want to own nothing and control everything.
The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.

The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of [private cartel] lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated - Thomas Jefferson

This Resident bimbo is annoying. "Radical"? Wow what a false comparison. It's radical to allow people like Obama and his banker cronies to run a rusty shaft through America and watch the country destroyed.
It's normal to listen to constitutionalists like Ron Paul.
It's Radical to adopt the policies of foriegn bankers and their front men like Obama.
Bite it bitch! Americans think above your tactics. Stop trying to put words in peoples mouths!
take it easy man... The Resident does great work. Just because she used the word "Radical" doesn't call for you calling her a bitch. Seriously, the fact she is asking about Ron Paul is progress in my opinion and make no mistake that IN WASHINGTON, Ron Paul's thinking is considered RADICAL.... sad but true!!!
That is true..But today People see Radical as a bad thing or a dirty word. She fell for the Obama Spell and being a Media Agent, there has to be accountability (punishment). For me, it is enough to cast her aside .(unsubscribe). I believe it is a 1 party system and without 3rd party influence or involvement we are doomed. Probably Doomed anyhow? But with all that is happening, it will be interesting to see it play out. In the mean time, get prepared physically and mentally.
It is understandable that people fell for Obama's spell (not me though). Obama is a charismatic speaker to say the least. But once you analyze his agendas, whether his political, social, and economic agendas, then it is clear that Obama is not CHANGE, and nothing more than a puppet put on by NWO. BTW I believe that an economic collapse is comming, although I desperately hope that I am wrong.
Heres a radical thought, lets abolish this Gov. that has held us down with laws that we don,t have any say about , Through what is supposed to be a Congress, that its main job is to Represent us.I think if we had leaders who had some merits and balls to tell it like it is like Ron Paul We could put our heads together, and Weed out the People in Congress that think we are there gravy train , and that they have all the rights .And if we don,t agree thats just to bad for us. Time to change it.

i think ron paul has his heart in the right place and what he envisions is great, but i think pure free market capitalism would in time lead to a few more very very rich people and hundreds of thousands or millions of very poor working class people as the capitalist classes would have free reign to exploit everyone, unless workers stood up for themselves and demanded good wages through unions and such, if that happened then maybe it would work, who knows.

You do! If you think going through a 3rd party (government) is going to be cheaper than paying for these services directly you'd be mistaken. I have worked out the cost of services in Britain to be around £2000 per year to pay for all our services yet I pay approximately £10,000 in taxes.
eg. in England for every £100 in taxes spent on schools the bureaucrats get £99 and only £1 is actually spent on educating our children.
Facts not magic :-)

"Who pays for the schools?" Local Property tax. "pays the teachers?" Local Property Pays for the roads? Gas Tax "For the police?" City and County Sales and Property Tax "For the fire dept?" City and County Sales and Property Tax
" It doesn't run on magic." It Also doesn't solely run on Federal Funding. Federal funding only accounts for a small portion. It gains the federal gov. jurisdiction where otherwise they would have none.

@ScriabinFanatic Please research before making uneducated statements!
1) Schools/Teachers/Police/FF...etc = Local Property Tax!
2) Road = Gasoline Tax!
3) National Defense = Corporate/Business Tax!
4) The INTEREST of US Gov't's debt to the FEDERAL RESERVE = Income Tax!
5) The unregulated creation of fiat money out of thin air by FEDERAL RESERVE = Inflation Tax!
Cut the spending of the wars, 900+ foreign bases, welfare, and medicare...etc. Ron Paul can remove item #4 & #5. It's not magic! :)

@sga86 About #4, research the President Reagan's "Grace Commission" of what happens with our income tax.
"...two thirds of everyone’s personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by INTEREST on the federal debt... all individual income tax revenues are GONE before one NICKLE is spent on the services [that] taxpayers EXPECT from their government."

Christ, you free market fundamentalists are as bad as any religious zealot.
No institution, no political system and no ECONOMIC system is above reproach. Right wing libertarians like Ron Paul are beneath contempt as what they advocate (including abolition of worker and consumer protection laws and privatization of public land) is essentially a tyranny of the business class.
Fuck Ron Paul and his Ayn Rand-worshipping followers.
librarianeric 2 years ago
So your against tyranny of the business classes but support the tyranny of monopolistic governments?
And NO, under a truly free market system you don't lose consumer protection laws as the free market responds to accommodate its clients or they wouldn't have any and workers just need to make sure they have a contract, its that simple.
Governments on the other hand have you by the balls, you have no choice but to pay or you'll be locked away in an institutionalised rape room.
Still sound fair?
frostyuk2007 2 years ago 2
@librarianeric
The states also have worker and consumer protection laws. Abolition of federal statutes would not mean there are no laws to protect the workers and consumers. The states that write the best laws would prosper leading to a "free market" competition among the states. The deficient states would conform to be more prosperous. Federal regulations hamper this process. Under US Constitution People = State, Ron Paul advocates state rights appropriately.

THE ANSWER IS GOLD & SILVER NOT FIAT PAPER
To have a working currency, you need to have adequate total exchange value to cover all the transactions in the economy at any given moment. Does all the gold and silver in the world currently have enough exchange value to replace all existing fiat currency? No. But here is why that doesn't matter - THE EXCHANGE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER WILL RISE IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED DEMAND AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE UNTIL IT REACHES THE NEEDED LEVEL.
WarDogLRS 2 years ago
Well you might be right but I think it might be a good idea to peg the dollar to something instead of relying on its ethereal value. Once it is pegged it will hold its value because it will always be worth the same amount by whatever we pegged it to. So if we peg it to something like "pounds of tree bark" it will always be worth that many pounds of tree bark.

There is a fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" a
debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold,
silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt.
You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debt with a currency that has no backing in value or substance.
WarDogLRS 2 years ago
The market will adjust the exchange value of gold and silver to meet demand.
The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.
WarDogLRS 2 years ago
Think of it another way Imagine that you now need to pay your employee one ounce of gold a month for him to do his job The demand for gold will drive up its exchange value remember the law of supply and demand because it will be in demand for use as money So then you only have to pay your employee half an ounce of gold The same amount of gold goes twice as far It is as if the supply of money has increased to meet the demand without causing a loss of value the way inflating a fiat currency does

I'm agnostic and support Ron Paul. His theological views are irrelevant when applied to the political realm. Your criticism of Dr. Paul would be the equivalent of me judging Obama based on his poor bowling skills, completely irrelevant.
mikewebbzzz 2 years ago
How can his religious views possibly be seen as irrelevant to his politics? Clearly his political stance on many important issues is directly related to his interpretation of Bronze Age philosophy from supporting the teaching of religion instead of science in science classrooms, to abortion & a host of other issues that affect millions of lives every day. Thus making your bowling example a false analogy. I've yet to hear Obama make a single decision based on what he read in a bowling manual.
mjr256 2 years ago
Well, everyone has a belief system, even if that belief is to not put faith in anything (or not believe there is anything to put faith in). However, that person would still be making political decisions based on their own personal philosophy. Every decision is a value judgment. I know plenty of people who don't believe in God who think abortion is wrong. I also know people who believe in God who think it is fine. The whole "but he believes in God, so it affects his decisions" argument is trite.
boknox 2 years ago
Yes, there are irrational atheists as much as there are irrational theists. But when some1 is as religious as Ron Paul is, it's absurd to claim it's irrelevant to Paul's politics when his religious views so obviously have directly influenced his position on numerous major issues from abortion to teaching factually wrong ideas in science classrooms, etc. A public servant basing their public policy on Bronze Age mythology rather than modern science is anything but trite. It's a disgrace.

Yes it has right after the French revolution when economic liberals pushed laissez fair principals.

toyt100ota 2 years ago
Reagan was a conservative, not a liberal, and his economic strategies have been tried and failed many times. In the time after the French Revolution, the economy pretty much had nowhere to go but up; the market will often fix it's own problems, just like the human body. If it hadn't fixed itself, it would have died and we would never have heard of it.
uberjim83 2 years ago
I meant that Reagan had neoliberal economic policies which means they are almost like Ron Paul's in calling for complete deregulation but not all the way. Not that he was liberal in a political sense. And my point about the French revolution is that after that many of the ideas Ron Paul talks about were in place and we saw that was not a long term economic model

I have seen examples of corrupt actions by the FDA (as with every organization, ever) but to say they're "entirely corrupt" is just as silly as saying law enforcement is entirely corrupt. Some of those "rules and regulations" do benefit drug companies (for example, Dole can't market cherries as cancer prevention), but most of them simply prevent said companies from marketing fake drugs as real ones (that's why "alternative remedies" lack FDA endorsement).

But, again, in four comments most of which support Paul - not one gave me a link which itemized his actual STEPS of change. An idea and a plan are very different.

Equating them would be taking things to an illogical extreme, like calling every adult who disciplines their child a slave-owner.

People who believe in less govt and less govt control over our lives are fascist?
timbosforporn 2 years ago
No, but if you think the modern conservative movement actually believes in less government and less government control over our lives, then you haven't paid attention to any of their actions. Ever.
You seem like you'd fit in better with a libertarian crowd than with the neocons, they don't share your convictions and their actions have shown it. Then again, many libertarians are all talk too...

I realize that the modern republican party doesn't believe in "less govt" so I would not put up much a fight with that.
But there ain't much of a difference between libertarians and conservatives anyways other than a few personal beliefs that each side has retained.
timbosforporn 2 years ago 2
I don't really think you understand the concept of "less govt" at all. It shows in your view of the political spectrum that most liberals have. Communist on the left and fascist on the right. Is that all we have as a choice? Is that the only political systems that the left sees and everything else is derivatives of? I would like a third option if that is the only choice we have!

uberjim83 - "communist and fascist are opposites." Really? Maybe you should asked the million imprisoned and murdered under communist and fascist regimes how different they are. Ooop you can't because their dead.

Your comment is full of crap. Ron Paul is NOT the working man's friend. He believe in a quasi Anarcho Capitalist society. That's just about the worst thing you can do for Liberty (aside from communism that is which is it's polar opposite in extremism).
Capitalism must be replaced with a new system. We cannot have Liberty within a cost/price system.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin (1802)

The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government of the U.S. ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson

Competition [i.e. capitalism] is a sin.
I want to own nothing and control everything.

When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated - Thomas Jefferson

This Resident bimbo is annoying. "Radical"? Wow what a false comparison. It's radical to allow people like Obama and his banker cronies to run a rusty shaft through America and watch the country destroyed.
It's normal to listen to constitutionalists like Ron Paul.
It's Radical to adopt the policies of foriegn bankers and their front men like Obama.
Bite it bitch! Americans think above your tactics. Stop trying to put words in peoples mouths!

take it easy man... The Resident does great work. Just because she used the word "Radical" doesn't call for you calling her a bitch. Seriously, the fact she is asking about Ron Paul is progress in my opinion and make no mistake that IN WASHINGTON, Ron Paul's thinking is considered RADICAL.... sad but true!!!

That is true..But today People see Radical as a bad thing or a dirty word. She fell for the Obama Spell and being a Media Agent, there has to be accountability (punishment). For me, it is enough to cast her aside .(unsubscribe). I believe it is a 1 party system and without 3rd party influence or involvement we are doomed. Probably Doomed anyhow? But with all that is happening, it will be interesting to see it play out. In the mean time, get prepared physically and mentally.

It is understandable that people fell for Obama's spell (not me though). Obama is a charismatic speaker to say the least. But once you analyze his agendas, whether his political, social, and economic agendas, then it is clear that Obama is not CHANGE, and nothing more than a puppet put on by NWO. BTW I believe that an economic collapse is comming, although I desperately hope that I am wrong.
