He speaks the truth- point blank.

The militarization of Policing under the guise of the war on drugs and now the war on terror continues to expand. The US Military & Police Industrial Complexes have merged, are merging into 1 entity where we (citizens) are just a commodity for taxation/imprisonment.

Obama is just like Bush- he kept alot of Bush era croonies in their positions & he to has shed innocent blood- same ol same.

What will we do when they close all the stores & declare Martial Law?

i feel so sorry for all who served in the military thinking they were fighting for democracy

A large point to be made is that when we talk about wealth and classes we don't speak on it in a need by need basis.What this simply drives at is that whether upper middle class or higher,even if not outrageously rich, you have basic necessities and while you have your problems it's largely not related to being able to feed and cloth your children or get them into the most basic college possible.And when we take it to a step above to the overarching rich what those tax dollars means become a lot

@zazenzach

to think things will just work themselves out is rediculous.

this paradigm that i discribed above simply makes a minority rich and everyone else poor.

we need social programs to ensure a base standard of living and care for all workers.

im not advocating communism and a classless society. its ok for their to be some to have more than others

whats not ok is that some people work there butts off and then cant afford to feed their families or pay medical bills

maybe an anti-welfare paradigm would be reasonable in the past, but not now. we live in a globalized world.

very few products and services are wholly made by its owners nowadays. ie a craftsman builds a chair then sells it for profit on his own.

most products are outsourced to laborers for low pay, then sold, and the owners and management make far more profits than the actual creators of the good and/or service.

this is unfair distribution plain and simple.

@sciencemunk We all are entitled to our own beliefs... and so is he.. He will not impose his personal beliefs on anyone. He is not for gay rights, black rights, woman rights, minority rights.. He's for individual rights.. We're all in it together.. No categories. He is a honorably brilliant man.He's full of Integrity, and def. has some guts!

@sciencemunk I love that Ron Paul supporters know what they are talking about. I was explaining his views on abortion to someone- He is entitled to his opinions just as we are. He realizes that those opinions aren't to be made the law of the land b/c they aren't covered in the Constitution. He truly goes by the book. (The Constitution) Abortion will be a states rights, that way each individual state can do as they please- That way people would have options & their voices would actually be heard!

@zazenzach He is actually into the Austrian school of Economics. He doesn't want welfare- It's not right for me to take money from you & give it to someone else. Keep in mind- He wont take social security from the older people who depend on it- and the rest of the programs will be transitioned. If he doesn't make it into office those programs wont last- We are bankrupt. W/ him we'll keep more of our $, We wont have to pay into SS, Medicare, or pay Income tax. Everything will work itself out

@zazenzach I would love to see Dennis Kucinich as Ron Paul's VP. A democrat and Republican together. No divide in the parties... that would be awesome, they work really well together
