Ron Paul 2012

[joeasmythe]

He tries to sound sincere, but can't quite pull it off. He is so used to BSing.

Obama just signed a bill that lets government fly drones in american air space and pretty much watch us. Which means when your in the privacy of your own backyard(where the government should never go) they will be watching. WAKE UP!!! obama is not the answer no one else is but one person. That is ron paul. He believes in limited government and he believes we should audit the federal government a get all of the over paid corrupt people out. FOR REAL CHANGE VOTE RON PAUL FOR 2012!

im in the lower middle class by default as a soldier. i do not believe its right to take someones money just because they made more then i did. id support a fair tax. maybe a percetage based one. but just bringing our military home from the 130 (yes 130) countries we occupy in one shape or form would save a bundle. not to mention, how safe is america with most of its armed forces abroad?

@JokersAce0 I say eliminate the EPA, OSHA, and the Dept of Education and bring the regulatory powers to the State level. PS: Please don't be a potty mouth.

[lecagot2]

@JokersAce0 OSHA was under Carter I believe. EPA was under nixon, but EPAdidn't start getting radical until the Carter era. I grew up in a Steel Town and have seen the results of EPA demands and fines. Recently a power plant above Marietta, Ohio gave it up because they couldn't afford EPA's demands and all those good paying jobs were lost. I'm not even going to get into the chaos OSHA is causing at my workplace.

@lecagot2

Foreign competition is what destroyed the Steel Industry. Not goddamn regulation. If you have demand you could have the most anal North Korean regulatory firm on your back and still make huge profits. You can't just have an American company using American natural resources just up and leave. Oh and btw, the EPA and OSHA came into being under Nixon, bro. but that's beside the point since I support agencies like that as I don't want to live in cancerous polluted dystopia.

@JokersAce0 Actually it goes back to Carter when the steel industry moved because of EPA, over-regulation, and his newly created OSHA. I was a welfare caseworker back then and our roles, especially in food stamps swelled. It was the beginning of the end to living wage working people jobs.

@lecagot2

that's bullshit. if you want to know which president made more chinese jobs then it's reagan. free trade policy that is paraded by people like bush is what fucked this country up. and the unemployment rate under bush isnt even 50% more than when bush left... not to mention bush's deregulation policies helped cause the downward spiral that obama got to experience the brunt of. we went from thousands of jobs lost to created thecaptain wouldn't approve of your ignorance.
