Ron Paul gains on Gingrich

Ron Paul has moved in to second place right behind Newt Gingrich. According to Public Policy Polling, Ron Paul is at 21 percent of the Iowan vote and Newt leads with 22 percent. Although the mainstream media has mostly ignored Paul, many wonder how he is still in the race. Trey Stinnett, co-founder of Ron Paul Swag, joins us to help answer some question on Ron Paul's campaign.

I see, so instead of addressing the actual questions posed. You're deciding to deflect and talk about something else. How is that accomplishing anything?

You seem to be caught up in proving a non existent point....

I agree that much is wasted in military and bureaucracy and you agree with what I'm saying on investment. Beyond that I have no idea what you're trying to prove.

The country is only "bankrupt" in the sense that its priorities are backwards.

@oolong2 I like the part where you dont deny you were just moving air when you spoke about post WWII japan. So I'm glad we can agree you know nothing about that subject.

As for INVESTING. well duh, taxes are heaved for investing. The usa invests allright, the issue is that it invests too much in military and bureaucracy. the problem with your country is that your budget sick unbalanced and you carry the biggest national debt of all. USA is already bankrupted, it just doesnt know yet.

1. You're still deflecting the question.... Why is that? Maybe it's because you'd rather talk about WW2.

2. In the years right after WW2 yes, but the US pulled much of this funding out.

3. How is it relevant to the economy of japan which "governent" the investment came from?

4. "INVESTING" does not equal "spending blindly" on the military.

5. It is obvious that investing can grow an economy however where is it do you see where NO INVESTMENT goes an economy?

[goodflo911]

@oolong2 investing in your country doesnt neccecarily mean economic prosperity either. In fact the USA invests plenty in his country, but its investing in mostly military equipment, which is possibly the worst place you could put your money in.

Again, read up on your own economy and then come back and talk some more on the youtubes.

@oolong2 ''Japan quickly pulled itself out of the ashes of WW2 becoming an economic force by investing HEAVILY in infrastructure, & regulations/trade policies.''

wrong. Japan pulled itself out of the ashes of WW2 because the USA gave them free access to their markets, invested HEAVILY in japan in exchange for deploying military bases in okinawa and puppet regimes that would agree with the bases.

You know not of what you speak, do some research before you open that cakehole of yours.

@goodflo911

lol... insults are only cake decoration for simplistic ideas.

Stop deflecting the question...

The question was "When was the US outperforming anyone with less taxes?" NOT the competitive advantage of the US following WW2.

Japan quickly pulled itself out of the ashes of WW2 becoming an economic force by investing HEAVILY in infrastructure, & regulations/trade policies.

It's not just taxes but INVESTING in your country, like the InterState Hwy system buit in the US.

[goodflo911]

@oolong2 And we quite like it. We dont need competition, stay poor please;)

[goodflo911]

@ejpetersondub describe innovation, link please;)

Oh wait.

[goodflo911]

@oolong2 I like how you simpleton seem to imply that the economic wealth of the usa is somehow directly tied to taxes.

Let me teach you a tiny bit of history son.

When the second world war happened, basically europe and the only relevant parts of asia blew themselves up.

But no, I'm sure that it was your taxes that made most investors store their money in the only not shot up primary economy.

Aaah you americans, you never cease to baffle the rest of the world...
