A flat tax would be a lot more equal than a code that needs a lawyer, and the money to afford one, to figure out the idiotic code we have now. And do we need to be the worlds police and regulatory institution? All this policy is costing us is American lives to secure oil and profits.

I think the main point that needs to be made is DON'T BE SCARED TO SHARE WHAT YOU FEEL!!!!

Totalviligance, you really need to do your research on the Federal Reserve and get a new education on what really they are all about. Printing money out of thin air is not a good thing. NAFTA takes American jobs away for cheap labor, NATO is the beginning of the NWO, and all the other Conglomerates that you mentioned are not for the people you think there for. Do your research, PRO AND CON, by looking up these organizations that you mention on Google, Youtube, this site, etc. and really dig deep into what these organizations are all about.

Ron Paul right now, regardless of how much money he raises, needs as much exposure as he can get in the MAIN STREAM MEDIA to have a chance in winning. So many Americans are so Brained washed into believing what the media TELLS THEM TO BELIEVE, that they cant make there own decisions. The typical American is too busy with Work and doesn't have the time to really dig deep into the issues that could MAKE OR BREAK AMERICA AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

I watch a lot of news. CNN and MSNBC made mention of Ron Paul's record day, usually a 30 second blurb at the very end of the show. It's not what you hope for as a supporter, but like Ron Paul, take what you can get and get the most out of it. He has capital now, so it's up to him to use that effectively to cross over to the mainstream. He won't get much help from the MSM but little things like this do help. Most of the news shows were actually pretty neutral as they covered the story, and the only mentions regarding the Fifth of November that i saw were in internet articles. It will be less easy to ignore when Paul pulls in more this quarter than any other candidate, as his numbers will be compared to the numbers of his competitors. Like i said, it's up to his campaign.

Paul supporters aren't just one concentrated group of people, they are disseminated among a great mix of Americans. It's also up to those supporters to give Paul exposure by making others aware of him in such a way as not to seem attacking or too over the top.

Are we again going to embrace the Bretton Woods Agreement again? And if so, if we end up in a problem like in 1971, where the world was siphoning off US gold reserves, are we just going to sit back and embrace the economic collapse?

And should other countries embrace this system? What if Pakistan's currency were fixed instead of floating? Right now, people would be losing faith in Pakistan's currency and the market would be resistant to it. This exact thing happened during the Asian Fiscal Crisis; there was such volatility with regards to the currency that they were being abused by currency speculators.

Furthermore, there is evidence that a fixed exchange rate actually leads to black market currency trading. Is that a desirable result?

A floating currency rate is generally a good thing, but there are times when having a commodities standard and going on a fixed rate may be preferable. Maybe right now is one of those times, but in general I am more inclined to trust currency values to the free market system. These questions are so freaking complicated, and subject to so many variables, that we can't impose one system without any possibility of future change if necessary.

I think that this is great news. Even my roommate (registered democrat) came up to and told me he was impressed by RPs movement. He even said if it came down between RP and Hillary, he would volunteer for RPs campaign (he's a Political Science grad student).

Dr. Paul's support is growing. If it took a 30 minute blurb on CNN and Fox News to get people to actually research him, then that is a victory in and of itself. I know one person that this monday affected, and I am sure many of you know of others.
