Ron Paul Gives Middle Finger to Workers

Ron Paul says laid of workers will find a new job pretty soon in this crappy economy.
Finds himself totally unhinged from reality.

I just "unfriended" a former teacher who is now drawing her pension, probably taking her SS and medicare, and is getting welfare in the form of farm subsidies. Of course she's a Democrat and why would she want it any other way when she can stay on the go and live the life of Riley? The teacher's union owns the Democrat Party and has more delegates at the national convention than any other group. Ron Paul wants to end the Dept. of Ed. and put the rights of education in the hands of the locals.

@gulbirk True monopolies cannot exist without the government forcing them on us. A free-market allows opportunity to challenge a monopoly. You might also consider the fact that unions are basically monopolies on labor.

A society in which everyone has equal wealth and resources is impossible, and attempts to create such an outcome have resulted in the most tyrannical governments in all of history. What I, and other libertarians demand is freedom from government to create our own opportunities.

@ryratt Monopolies, rich people and corporations existed before taxation and regulations and restrictions.

My argument is not to create monopolies. The point is not to have a regulation for the sake of having a regulation. The point is to create an equal society, which is not what we have now, and certainly now what we used to have.

@gulbirk The rich elite you decry benefit from government regulation. A huge corporation can afford to hire people that help them comply with onerous laws. A mom-and-pop operation has a more difficult time. This is why fewer companies own more of a given industry as time goes on. Unregulated industries, like software, are producing more independent, rich startups.

@TheFringeCult This country basically followed the Austrian School for the first 100 or so years of its existence. Of course, it wasn't called the Austrian school back then, it was an economic philosophy of Adam Smith. It's not a coincidence that people back then immigrated here for opportunity; opportunity afforded them by economic and personal freedom. Now they immigrate here and to Europe for government freebies.

@ryratt You and people like you are the only idiots I can see.

If you go back 200 years and look at Europe now it wasnt any better at all. If you privatise everything, you hand the power to the rich elite and say ""Hey, you want me as your slave"". Because thats what you get. Workers gets no rights. Owners will decide what to pay you. Child labour is legal again. Restrictions dont exist, etc.

This means the rich elite controlls everything. YOU need to wake up.
