@youramessedup1 You and I and countless others obviously want education, roads, and security, so we don't need a government to extract money from us to provide them since we'd pay for them anyway. Not to mention that the government has a monopoly on all of the things you mentioned, so the quality sucks ass. If the government had provided all food for hundreds of years, you'd be crying out wondering where the food would come from without institutionalized theft.

@jeffsandychelsea immoral, huh, without taxes, where are the roads, schools, police force?

@lynottlives Large companies use the political system as a tool to pay for politicians to make regulations in their favor. Taxation IS immoral; the majority of citizens and a bunch of corrupt bureaucrats have NO right to tell me how I have to spend my money, even if this robbery is "permitted" in a fancy document written hundreds of years ago. I'm far from right wing, because I actually believe in true freedom. I'm done replying, I sense that an appeal to morality is a waste of time on you.

@jeffsandychelsea biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. What evidence do you actually have that the government was responsible for any company failing?, The problem with you right-wingers is you ignore important things....such as facts. Taxation is objectively immoral? What nonsense is that? You don't think that people who are making billions, that they could never possibly spend all to themselves in their life don't have a moral duty to give even a small portion to those who have nothing?

@lynottlives Banks and corporations only get big and fail big when the government is involved. This is undeniable. Also, taxation is objectively immoral; if you deny this, you're pretty much an animal.

@jeffsandychelsea yeah, yeah, typical libertarian bullshit. blame the gvt on everything. ignores the fact that the countries with the most regulation do better, and have been affected less by the financial crisis.

@lynottlives We are not living under capitalism in the US. Not when we have a centrally planned, pathetically failing currency, government controlled interest rates, big bailouts, stifling "regulations" bought by corporations to eliminate competition, the existence of TAXES, and the fact that the government builds roads and other things that have completely turned our society topsy-turvy and created an artificial and unsustainable infrastructure set to collapse upon itself. Oh, and WARS.
I wish that Ron Paul would have a 3 hour lecture on...well, whatever he wants to ramble about :P He's the only candidate (our current President included) that I honestly feel knows what he's doing.
