many of your statistics are incorrect... just made out of lies and thin air.

fact: you tax the rich high you kill the economy ... truth

fact: you increase the size of the gov you kill the econ ... truth

fact: you are missing the real problem, the fed and taxation in general ... truth

you just accept there needs to be tax. there doesn't. 1913 worst year ever. between 1776 and 1913 there was no federal taxes. maybe you should look into that before you try to draw the tax lines

@rtardbox

Talk about pulling shit out of thin air.....

Funny you have to say I made those numbers up because they KILL any lame argument you attempt here. The fact is, those are REAL numbers taken from REAL statistics and graphs based on our history. Look it up.

I agree with you on the 99%, a lot of my friends got arrested at Occupy. If you think Obama is working for anyone else but the 1% you are terribly mistaken (mind you, I voted for Obama last time around, voting Paul this time). Top Obama contributors: University of California $1,648,685

Goldman Sachs $1,013,091

Microsoft Corp$852,167

Google Inc $814,540

JPMorgan Chase & Co $808,799

Citigroup Inc $736,771

Time Warner $624,618

General Electric $529,855

US Government $513,308

Morgan Stanley $512,232

You haven't been paying attention if you know nothing about the Bilderberg Group, and the influence they have over countries via private central banks like the FED. and "think tank" groups like the CFR.

You need to "occupy" yourself before spouting off this manufactured left versus right controlled opposition bullshit.

The top 1% changes ever few years just like the bottom 10% changes every few years. People's socioeconomic statuses change. Economic progress hasn't stagnated.

@TheTruthBToldShow and why would making money backed by something of actual value kill investments? that makes no sense? You would just have to earn the money first before you invest it.

The reason gold is a good material to use for currency, along with silver and copper, is because they are rare metals and they never change, and are able to be used for many things. You could use corts of wood for currency but it deteriorates... metals will always be currency.

@TheTruthBToldShow well I honestly dont understand this shit economy inside and out along with every other human being on the planet. Im just spitting out info i heard or seen other people write or talk about. all I know is that banks are bad, and making money from betting on rigged investments is bad, and that occupy wallstreet is retarded. so what people who are rich have to pay through the ass for it? I dont think rich people are the problem. It's just wallstreet and the banksters.

@lastmondaypast1

My ass it makes you "invulnerable". And it is anything but "solid" for the future. In fact, it reduces on investments in the future because people will want to simply hold on to as much as they can.

And your example shows the issues with gold. Its value has hardly changed in 1000+ years.

@lastmondaypast1

Holy shit. The fed is limited to 2 or 3% inflation (can't remember exact figure). So, quit with the Paul talking points on how the fed can just print whatever money they want.

[lastmondaypast1]

@TheTruthBToldShow Using the gold standard basically makes you invulnerable to an economic crash situation. The economy might grow very slowly because of it, But it's solid in terms of thinking in the future.

Here is an example of devaluing over the years. You could buy a new car in the 70's which used even more materials than we do now for about 3000 dollars. A POS car nowadays basically made out of cheap plastics is about $14000. "inside job" documentary explains it best.

@TheTruthBToldShow The US is leading the world in prosperity because they can print all the money they want. With the gold standard you couldnt do that, you had to EARN the money first, and that is when america prospered most.

The US isnt actually leading in prosperity, they are just putting what they are just printing money based on nothing and basically devaluing the dollar. The system is literally SOO complicated that people who work in wall street cant even explain it.

Watch "inside job"
