Ron Paul is the only Politician worth listening to these days. Personally i'm completely sick of the Socialists/Progressives and Neocons. To me,there isn't much difference between the two. Oh they both like to pretend they're so different but in the end they agree on much more than they disagree on. When Dr. Paul speaks,i listen. When the rest speak,i just change the channel. They're not saying anything i haven't already heard for years. It's just the same ole shit coming from different faces. I'm a Paulitician for life.
I have been following Ron Paul for 15 years and he has been my hero. Everybody thinks he is a radical for supporting non-interventionism, and while people rarely consider the issue of catallactics in economics, they never consider how government intervention creates false "economies" and exchange rations in all areas or human endeavor. We create an entire false economy in the war on drugs and then build prisons, hire more police, probation officers, parole officers, correction officers, make new laws, get new prison doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, engineers, janitors, construction workers, vehicle, retirements and medical insurance. Every person then wants more funding, more raises, more power and better retirement benefits. We then distort the economy and use for to violate peoples' rights and police and prosecutors become criminals by abusing their authority and often trying to convict innocent people.
We fund dictators thinking it is buying security, but then we find we funded torturous and murderous dictators whose citizens despise us for funding their oppression and we eventually discover that the security was another illusion, another bubble bought with taxpayer money and when a whistleblower shows us the lie the government has passed as being stability, instead of questioning the government we want to execute the messenger.
Reality has a way of balancing and creating realistic exchange ratios so as to prevent diminishing returns or underfunding things that are beneficial. But, a good deal of human endeavor becomes enigmatic because we distort it with government intervention.
We now have the highest prison population and now are seeking to allow corporations to make inmates slaves for the benefit of those corporations. These corporations will try to keep their slave labor by making new rules while we allow them to keep people in jail for their financial interest.
When Americans wake up an realize how we are manipulated by the elite, then something will be done. We need more people to lose their homes and jobs and be reduced to complete poverty before the revolution can begin.
Until then the haters can keep hating Ron Paul for being right.
