Great interview, I thought Jay was fair...I believe he was just playing
devil's advocate...Ron Paul is the man!
If you want more info on Ron Paul, here are just a few of the excellent
speeches and statements he has made that describe his views. How
much do these views represent your own views?:
The military budget is based on Corporate income tax which is about
$250 billion a year and not from personal income tax. Local Government
Schools are funded with property tax, road and highways are also
funded through both property and gasolene tax, social security is funded
seperately as well as medicare and medicaid, they are all listed on you
pay stub. Federal and state income tax does not pay for any services
for the people.
The government is supposed to account for every dollar recieved and
spent but they do not disclose anything anymore to the public. We have
almost $1 trillion in income tax that goes to the federal reserve for
printing our paper money. The federal reserve supposedly has the
government's gold, but if you ask your state representative, they have no
idea where it is. Shame that we are this careless with our country.
The End of Dollar Hegemony:
http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2006/cr021506.htm
"The pressure at home to inflate the currency comes from the corporate
welfare recipients, as well as those who demand handouts as
compensation for their needs and perceived injuries by others. In both
cases personal responsibility for one's actions is rejected."
In the Name of Patriotism (Who are the Patriots?):
http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2007/cr0522107.htm
"It is dissent from government policies that defines the true patriot and
champion of liberty."
"Faith in government coercion and a lack of understanding of how free
societies operate, encourages big government liberals and big
government conservatives to manufacture a war psychology to demand
political loyalty for domestic policy just as is required in foreign affairs."
Don't Blame the Market for Housing Bubble:
http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst031907.htm
"capitalism is not to blame for the housing bubble, the Federal Reserve
is. Specifically, Fed intervention in the economy-- through the
manipulation of interest rates and the creation of money-- caused the
artificial boom in mortgage lending."
Ron Paul at the House Financial Services Committee - Subcommittee
on Domestic and International Monetary Policy October 17, 2007:
http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2007/cr101707h.htm
"Mr. Chairman, as you know, I have consistently favored a policy of non
intervention with regard both to foreign affairs and to economic policy.
While there may well be problems with the Russian economy in terms
of failed privatization, government expropriation of assets, etc., there is
no reason that these issues should concern the United States
government."
"Our loose monetary policy and stimulation of credit have led to
expectations of permanent positive economic growth. The technology
bubble and the housing bubble have caused many to believe that
markets can only go up. When bubbles burst, when stocks decline,
something must have gone awry, and the government is called upon to
right the wrong."
Vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.
