The Problem Reaction Solution Paradigm (The Hegelian Dialectic)
1) The government creates or exploits a problem blaming it on others
2) The people react by asking the government for help willing to give up their rights
3) The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis

Wait wait wait. You think that the "fat cats" are going to be hurt by a guy whose position is "end all regulation and all corporate taxation, a reward the wealthy, punish the poor, let "the market" decide minimum wages, privatize money production"?
His economic platform is identical to his Republican "competition." The fat cats will hump the lg of whichever wins, because that's who's going to be giving them handouts. Don't for a moment think Paul is going to do anything different.

I have always said it, republicans and democrats are 2 sides of the same coin. They have managed to turn the election system into a vote for the least evil candidate. Ron Paul wants a return to before government got a taste of free money.
Abolish the IRS and return federal funding to that states rather than the citizen. To start that is. The ruling elite want him GONE. That's enough for me to want to get to know him.

Do you not agree that all economic catastrophes are the result of government interference?
That depressions are the direct result of government sponsored policies of credit expansion designed to lower the market rate of interest?
Economic planning only works if the system is rationally planned by the combined, self-interested efforts of all who participate in it (IE laissez-faire),
and to designate that activity and reserve it for the feeble efforts of a handful of government officials is stupidity at this point.

In fact, the page is mostly videos. But I agree with him. I think things are about to get REALLY nasty. Especially with this whole, "If you see something, say something!" motto. It's bs!

I think that your post contains the greatest amount of nonsense that I have ever read on ATS. Congratulations.
