Ever since the late 1930's we have had more socialism in America than capitalism by far, yet elected officials continue to blame this false sense of free trade which furthers our move toward a Communist regime. We owe it to the world to keep at least one nation free.

brilliant ending

Ron Paul is the only candidate that has an unwavering record of defending our Constitution and addressing the problems that our country is facing. He had the foresight to predict and warn about the consequences throughout the years and the knowledge to put us back on the right track to restore our Constitutional Republic to be yet again a great nation.The rest do not have a record to stand that mirrors what they now say - Ron Paul does.

@esypooyou Totally agree with you, my friend.

[esypooyou]

@ToxinalX I know there are many different economic systems, almost countless if you count technical differences, however, Capitalism or Free-Enterprise has created more wealth and a greater standard of living along with more technological creations that anyother system in the history of mankind. We have not had Capitalism in America since the early 1920's. This fact alone will be the downfall of our nation.

@esypooyou Corporativism, not socialism.

This is one of the main reasons for why most people think libertarians are nuts, because they allways talk about "socialism". But there are many more economic isms than just capitalism and socialism.

Please don't missunderstand me. I prefer capitalism over any of them

@daveka2011 You should listen to him. He is a smart guy, and he is a Christian--he used to be a pastor. Just keep an open mind. Even if you don't think evolution is reconcilable with Christianity, you shouldn't assume he has nothing of value to say. I'm a Christian and Leonard Read is one of my favorite people.

What leads to a bureaucratic mess are middlemen, managers, administrators, enforcers...

When rulers are distant from the area they rule, they must rely on communication and control through large bureaucracies. When rule is localized and direct, shared equally among workers and community members, the need for impersonal bureaucratic institutions is significantly lessened.

Libertarianism = Anarchism = Socialism. "Libertarian Socialism" is redundant. Look it up, learn history.

I find that when a grown man begins by spouting fairytails like evolution, he usually has nothing of value to say.
