Ron Paul's policies require people to think things through to a logical conclusion. All of his positions are consistent, but thinking is obviously too much to ask of people who need to be able to reduce everything to a soundbite to comprehend. So many comments in this thread prove this.

This issue can be contrued in so many different perspectives it's un-real.

I was once considered middle class. I own two small business, I pay property taxes on 2 properties, and I can say this. ..Maintaining insurance on both properties is very expensive, especially when your already taxed for sales, federal tax, school district tax, property taxes and so on..

Times are very tough right now so with that said, Yes. Yes, we should be able to afford disaster insurance but we're broke. We pay into the federal government so much we feel like slaves to the government. We bust our ass and worry ourselves to death on how were going to come up with money to pay the state and fed each year, that we feel like quitting. We don't feel free. ..it's a very scary feeling having the state comptroller walk into your office and hear " Next time we come back with a Sherrif to chains your doors shut".

What I'm saying I guess is that, Paul is right, we should be able to afford our own insurance.

He also believes we need to get rid of the tax code, and implement a more leinient system. Which would in turn provide us with more money to pay for coverage like that. ...he's right. Our system is sick and the reason he's viwed as a radical is because he acknowledges that fact and wants to change it.

His views aren't new ideas, these are the philosophies of our founders. Our "new government" have brainwashed so many with confusion and loss of foundation, that we can't see the truth when it's staring us in the face.

This is a Ron Paul thing. He always says this. Of course many large natural disasters are beyond the ability of a single state to deal with. Of course this is of course all talk. If Paul was President and a state suffered a massive disaster I very much doubt he would sit on Federal assets while people died. He has alway found ways and loops holes to do things while at the same time making it look like he was standing by his principles.

Herbert Hover believed in the same things, he sat on his ass while people starved for years.
Which opened the door for FDR's policies to be popular, cause and effect

I agree with RP. Gov should not be spending my money on anything. Maybe people should movve away from states prone to tornadoes or deal with the cost themselves. I work to make a living for myself not you. I will help those I feel like helping. I don't need the Gov stealing my money to distrbute as it see's fit.

No health care

No money for natural disaster victims

Getting rid of work regulations, giving companies the power to do what they want..

Talk about being consistent!


I just hope you people voting for grandpa are well off, financially... because if you're earning minimum wage or around there you're going to be screwed.

He is consistent I agree with you there!

He requires for people to drink his kool-aid that his ardent fanboys are making

Oh thats brilliant. Just what state should everybody move to that has no chance of tonadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires, blizzards, mud slides or any other kind of natural disaster. I was in a place once just like you want, it was called Somalia. No taxes and nobody helping anybody. Yeah brilliant.
