Voting for a Real Candidate,

Do you really think your vote counts? Your words are as much pollution as mine or the next. You are the closed minded sheep that needs to be told how to live… Everything that is wrong with wrong with world. Fortunately, I do not hate you for views and attitude but I do feel extremely sorry for you. I know in the grand scheme of things that your opinions, as well as mine, do not matter. So, you sir/ma’am…You shut the F*ck up.

Dr. Ron Paul is a crack pot just like Obama McCain, Palin & biden but I would rather vote for Dr. Ron Paul than the bunch WE HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM.
I REFUSE TO VOTE BECAUSE A VOTE FOR EITHER IS A VOTE FOR OUR OWN DESTRUCTION, TAKE A STAND AND DON’T VOTE

I can’t believe people think that the market is truly free. If it were free, then you’d see commercials by GM talking about some kind of logical reasoning as to why you should buy their car (its features, the suspension, etc), instead, they tell you how great you could look in it. Advertising just plays with our (fleeting) emotions, and the Government helps perpetuate it with the fiat-based monetary system.

The truth of the matter is that we live in a debt-based society. If everyone paid off their debts today then there would be no money to go around because the system can only create money out of debt. This kind of monetary policy lives for profit and it is based on scarcity. It’s also out-dated and a reality that was accepted by the world when the Federal Reserve published the MMM.

Now the whole world is addicted to this crack a.k.a. credit and we’re just one incident away from martial law.

Call me paranoid, but I rather be safe than sorry.

Bransby, you may very well be a brilliant individual. I love your comment because you’re right. Part of the inherent problem with government regulation is that government is made up of people (or what’s left of people after the government destroys their souls, anyways). People have greed and other impure motives and they will lead the government to do whatever will benefit them and theirs.

Go away. If the primaries didn’t send you the message, no one but hardcore Libertarians (aka: idiots) thinks Ron Paul is worth the time of day. Stop polluting the internet.

Maybe the problem is not about over-regulation or under-regulation but who is regulating? If it is the government’s job to regulate the markets they can’t do that job effectively, with either a light touch or a soft touch, if the government consists of people with personally vested interests in those markets. Can a former CEO of Goldman Sachs effectively, and objectively regulate the finance sector? Basically the government isn’t just owned by coroprations, it IS corporations, and corporations act in their own best interests, not in the interests of the population. Government regulation of the system is a side issue when compared with the real vested interests of the government itself.

LOLOLOL, I can’t stop laughing at the capitalists arguing over government regulation in their precious system. They are just too ignorant to see that the system will not work with or without such regulation. If there is no interference from Government, greed gives rise to the crises we are witnessing today. Governments will always be forced to intervene in the event of a threat to the financial system because there is simply too much at stake for them to do nothing. The system survives but becomes inefficient and clogged up with bureaucratic red tape, resulting in recession and the call for the markets to become free to do as they please again. It doesn’t work. The taxpayer loses all the way. It is a system built and run by crooks.
