As long as Americans continue to let their Goverment DICTATE to them on how they should Live their Lives , a Guy like Ron Paul will be around to Remind us ALL that we Do Not have to take it because it is OUR Country and those Hired Hands in Washington Works for Us . He could be our next President if the MAJORITY of the American PEOPLE would just SAY SO .............

Vote Ron Paul in 2012 !


Until people come to the realisation that they are not Free to sit and watch tv, not free to goto the store and buy what ever junk they want, not free to goto starbucks, not free to post their trivial barf all over twitter and facebook.

Only when people realize their freedoms are gone, flushed away down the toilet, then and ONLY then will people realize that the people, and groups we've let run this country into the ground were not For US.

Sadly, that realisation may never come tho. Becuase the lame-street media hides all the bad stuff, and shows us more about the hollywood soap-opera, and the other things that really shouldn't be top of the news at 5 o'clock. People are to apathetic, all too happy to continue the status-quo in favor of having to do some actual WORK.

Sadly, many people are all to content to let it continue, as long as they have their comforts.

I agree 100 percent with you boondock. I notice he backs off after making a little noise here and there. Has he even mentioned the FED Reserve lately? He knows whats up. I believe he will not go too far, and saying too much. He says just enough to get a cheer and then he gets the hell out..

Ron Paul has the right idea about the federal reserve and a few other things, but his overall philosophy will have us back in the wild west. we need control, we need centralization, and we need watchdogs. Our country will fall apart without it. Ron paul would have been a great President 150 years ago, but in today's world he is NOT what we need. We need someone who recognizes that the fate of our world and our country rest upon us being able to work together toward a common goal. Ron Paul would have everyone work towards their own selfish goals.

Our country has two serious issues which need to be solved and you should have your eye toward these when selecting your candidate:

1. The money system. We need someone who truly beleives that we need to abolish the federal reserve. The way our money is set up, new money can only be created through debt. this goes for newly issued money as well as any money created by banks, etc. through leverage. any increase in national worth that is not created by debt can only be created by inflation. The system ensures that only a small minority of the population can make it to financial security. It can be no other way. Ron Paul's gold standard will just continue this scheme. His cure is no differnt than what we already have. What we need to do is simply print any money used by the Fed goverment that is not provided by taxation. As far as taxation, eliminate the "personal income tax" and replace it with moderate "profit" and intangible taxes. I would expect that the effects of inflation would be minimal as a growing economy needs more money in it as it grows if you want it to be off as a whole. if there was inflation, simply ratchet back the ability of the banks to lend against capital.

2. Employment. We need someone who recognizes that there simply is not enough work to do to keep everyone employed gainfully. Technology and automation allows us to do so much more with so many less people. Something has to give. We either need to INCREASE the amount of aid we give to the unemployed and poor or we need to cram a new paradigm down the throats of employers. 30 hour work weeks, higher pay, better retirement benefits, etc. The benefits available to public employees should be the standard for all employees. I feel for the small biz owner, but if you can't allow your employees to be successful financially then you should not hire them. Just because people are desperate enough for you to get a good deal doesn't mean you should. Do it yourself or go work for someone else. These actions would be inflationary, but there has to be some middle ground where prices and wages meet that would allow us to do this.

3. The future. Are to stay divided and warring and exploitive in nature or are we going to finally advance to the point that we can work together to make the world a better place for all of us? I want a president who in the very least is going to inspire to make this world more of a utopia.

Seriously? What is your reasoning for comparing Ron Paul to Hitler? I'm sure the entire ATS audience will find it quite amusing and a good source of entertainment.
