@retrop75 By the time I find the video you're requesting, that $100 will be worthless.

Looking at McCain's face, I'm just thinking, "Old dude, just get mad already, everyone can see through the retarded smile of yours..."

[michp38]

McCain has no idea what Paul is saying.

[emantabrizi]

Why is it that, in every video of Ron Paul speaking during a debate, the other candidates have these condescending grins on their faces?

[boanerges144]

I would love to slap the smirks off of the McCain and Romney.

The debt grew to over $10 trillion by the time Obama took office. Still, nobody can find me evidence that anyone but Ron Paul cared before Jan 20, 2009. If you can find me video, audio, or ANY evidence of a mainstream Republican expressing concern about debt & deficits from 2001 to Jan 2009, I will give you $100. Message me!!!

@pwnurnoobazz First of all, your confusing debt and deficit. The presiden'ts plan would save $800 billion a year- just under half of the deficit. It's a huge start, better then any plan the Republicans have proposed. And getting rid of the deficit is SOMETHING positive. The 90s economic boom- the biggest short-term in American history- happened with those tax rates, in a post-reccession climate. Only inflation has that big an impact on the dollars value, so we should reduce that, as well.

@AWesome61696 Actually increasing taxes on the rich would resolve about $1 billion of our deficit, and considering how taxation slows economic growth and our deficit is hovering around $15 trillion putting a tax increase would provide nothing positive. By eliminating heavy taxes and not constantly printing money incentive is made for consumers to buy good and the dollar gains value. The problem is that we live in a corporatist economy, not capitalist.

@pwnurnoobazz Well I'm pretty sure Paul would reject lobbyist influences as president, but that's the least of my concerns. Putting our nation on track towards a real free-market won't solve any of our problems. Unemployment? Please explain. Income inequality? Please explain. And he has no interest in raising taxes on the top 1% that owns 34% of the GDP. Increasing THEIR taxes from 33 to 39% would reduce more than half our deficit immediately. Paul? What will he do?

Please enlighten me :)
