I think several things,
1-very young and inexperienced writer.
2-bored and just posting to cause trouble.
3-collecting a paycheck and reaching the quota.
4-a litmus test to gauge response and record data.
Yes sir, those are my thoughts when I come across morsels like these.

All are wrong. Simply because i have shown you and Paul to be wrong does not mean that I am trying to do anything with alternative motives.

So.........the bottom line here is that everything Ron Paul would do would ruin our economy?
And..............................how is that different from all the things the other guys are doing, even if you are right?
I think the bottom line here is that people want someone honest, someone who actually cares for the US, and someone who is willing to take the difficult positions despite the political costs. He is that person, no matter how you feel about whether or not his strategy will work.
The tired and true strategy is turning America into a broke, economically ruined police state. And Im supposed to worry about what Paul is going to do?

I just wanted to say you are entitled to you opinion but just a couple things in response.
1. The Federal Reserve is not a body of government! Its holding our country hostage and is the number one reason why our dollar is collapsing and the price of everything is skyrocketing.
2. You really believe the DHS is protecting us? All they are doing is taking away our freedoms in the name of protecting us from harm. I am sorry but we do have a military and I can protect myself if need be. DHS is just another unnecessary government agency.
3. The IRS are a bunch of thugs that seek to simply get somebody for making a mistake on their taxes and then charging interest and penalties so they can take more and more money. The IRS needs to be abolished or in the very least their needs to be a fair tax and the IRS can only collect that and prosecute those that intentionally avoid paying their taxes.
The fact that you see the police state in everything scares me. The IRS is a necessary evil. One that needs more funding to go after those corps like GE that are able to turn a profit and still get a Tax return. How is this not obvious? Making a mistake happens and that is fine but there are far more cheats and people attempting to skirt taxes all together then there are mistakes.

I mean really I don't think it can get much worse than what we have been having the last 50 years or so.
Well here is the rub
Can you tell us which nation of people has more power?
More influence?
More wealth?
In the last 50 America became the super power...
I agree with what you are saying but that is only because capitalism was allowed to flourish in america.
Corporatism started off with central and western european market socialism but could not prosper enough thanks to "big government" of those days. Someone always has the upper hand in any eco-political system and in america its corporations and wealthy people.
The problem is corporations have become to powerful in america during this period and not only threaten america and europe but the entire world. There needs to be checks and balances within any system and although that was the case 15-20 years since WW2 corporations through "freedom of speach"(lobbying) have rendered government practically as useless fanboys/cheerleaders. Anti-trust laws are practically meaningless thus we are seeing the development of multinational conglomerates rulling the WTO and bilderberg group.
Do you think its a coincidence so many people were against WTO? Unbalanced trade has lead to crony capitalism and weak governments the world over, as well as reduced taxation and job insecurity.
So america is great in terms of military strength and good paying professional jobs but for everyone else its becoming a living nightmare. The middle class is being reduced to poverty. Its becoming more and more obvious each year imo!

I am not sure why I am even bothering with this thread.... Look what our retarded public education produces here. We are in big trouble, and I thought education was bad when I was in school. I was constantly teaching my teachers, even back then, when they spouted liberally slanted nonesense and called it history. I am glad others have tried to explain to people who might not know all that much, just how wrong this OP is. He hasn't even began campaigning yet really, and already people are spewing BS, he must really scare people I guess.

You do know what a capital loss is right? GE was able to right off previous capital loses and thats why they did it. Nothing Illegal and its a smart idea to have a rule like that.

Capitalism doesn't work? Go take a look at the worlds poverty rates and GDP since it's inception...
While Paul may have good ideas,
there is no way he would ever beat Obama in 2012 election.
Food Riots 2011: World On Verge Of Major Food Crisis
The stunningly violent food riots in Tunisia and Algeria show just how quickly things can change. Just a few months ago, these two northern Africa nations were considered to be very stable, very peaceful and without any major problems.....
...According to the FAO, the global price of food hit a new record high in December. For most Americans and Europeans, a rise in the price of food is just an inconvenience. But in many areas of the world, even a relatively small rise in the price of food can mean that the survival of millions is suddenly threatened.
Global authorities are concerned that these food riots might start spreading – especially if the extremely harsh weather all over the globe continues to damage crops.
In fact, there are some signs that economic unrest is already beginning to spread….

No one is forcing you to drink tap water, Eat Gmo Foods or use aspartame. Its called choice. Just get something else.
