Ron Paul: ‘The welfare system helps the wealthy’

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL is as revelant as a pimple on a roaches ass, just my opinion.

This was my impression of a Ron Paul Current Community TR0II

See, how I'm supposed to know that unless you foam at the mouth :-)

Hey I support Paul's stand against the corporate welfare system, you do know he's not the only one against it, and I like his anti war glib but it's everything else that comes out of his mouth that I have a problem with plus there's the racist pig thing that I cannot overlook. So yeah he's irrelevant.

He is extremely relevant. I'm afraid of Ron Paul and his idea of dismantling most of the federal government and leaving stuff up to the states. You want to watch the US retrogress and see some of our 50 start to lower living and environment standards for sleazy companies with Paul turning a blind eye, vote for the man. I don't want to see North Dakota or west Virginia become toxic slave wage states.

Spineless is evil.

I find it difficult to look in the face of such evil.

I just love [their bread]. To have a successful Revolution one needs lots of power, people and arms. Well, that deals me out!

I know! Sit and blog => Yeah Baby!!! We'll teach them revenooers who not ta mess with!!!

Sounds right cut & dry. People with money buy more stuff duh. I listen to some of the best minds discussing economics and a few hours ago they were saying how many foreclosed-on properties are being bought up by people with money.

You can insult me but I'll hold the cards I have thanks. You go talk stupid talk to squirrels in the park if ya want.

A few of the rich have to be allowed to fail, spotted around to mask over all the ones who succeed. A neat trick by true masterminds of currencies & stocks.

Conversely, if ALL THE RICH SUCCEEDED PEOPLE WOULD NOTICE and hmm, probably start inventing new devices like automated guillotines that chase them.

And catch them.

You see you incorrectly believe you can shoot down the truth of my staterments by MENTIONING ONE FAMILY. Go try to trick some college potheads here. I am neither.

hehehe And I do not foresee the day I will require "enlightenment" from you.

You are a hateful insulting piece of trash I want never to meet, so grasping you are to shove your shiv in my ribs.

Why not, that's where the middle class live now.

This nut job just pulls ignorant answers out of his deluded mind. Many of the people who need welfare lost their retirement funds to unscrupulous assholes who stole their life savings. I think it's time this idiot leaves the race, his ideas are more insane than Old Hermie's were.

I think you have a misconception on how capital works. Also, no.

I will give him a ticket out of town
and call it a good investment

the sad story is that he has millions of followers. Bunch of idiots and ignorants like him.

I know how capital works and you don't. Also, yes.

Can I sing along as well??? =)

Seems that way... =(

Not if we're on the gold standard, because when we switch back to the gold standard, it will be all gumdrops and unicorns!

That's a bit extreme, also you don't understand either.

during the gold standard I watched poka -dotted rainbows

What a Buffoon, I can't believe he said that....

How does one aquire wealth of 5 million when a conressional salary is 174,000. per annum? Newsletters he claims he knew nothing about perhaps?

How is he with Kryptonite up his Bum???? =)

That gives him a warm buzz.

I am sure it would do the same for me... ;)

See Superman just didn't know how to use it.

The Kryptonite or the Lube??? I am Confused... =(

thanks for the smile :)

Ron Paul is G_d ;-)

Can I pitch in on a Plane Ticket??? ;)

Iceland is off to a good start as well

He won't be, but I will V. I miss Lake Geneva, Mont Blanc, the Suisse Credit
ingots, and Gold coins in the Bank windows. But most of all I miss the high
country, because, as the Indians always believed, it's closer to God, and
thus sacred ground. I only lived in Switzerland on a 90 day passport visa
back in 1979. But I was nonetheless supremely impressed by all I took in.
I get the feeling since. like the Netherlands, Switzerland is renown for it's
tolerance I can live there in Peace. I'm not one to want to make waves.
And I do like the notion of pure, direct Democracy, and to bear arms. To
my knowledge, Switzerland was only conquered once during the time of
Napoleon. But like Colorado, I consider it my home too. As William Penn
was once quoted as saying: " Wherever Liberty dwells THERE is my country "

Colorado is under under assault. Good luck to you!

thats COLD ! ( heh )

p.s. +^d

Good point. People often fail to make these connections. All unemployment debit cards are issued by Bank of America. So, they crash the economy, raising the unemployment rate, and then make money off of people using their unemployment benefits.

Holy Sh*t, can I get a link??? =)

Here is an article and I can promise you it is the case.

control by boot on throat

If you are not willing to fight back, sure why not??? =)

not a fighter, but definitely ready to turn and head in a better direction

Nothing I Love more than a good punch in the face of any troublemaker... Been itching for a good fist fight for many years... Sure it can be viewed as child's play, but it sure makes me feel better... =)

Not in New York where I live either. JP MOrgan Chase has both the un
employment insurance & food stamp credit / electronic benefit card
market cornered here. Deep pockets organizations in the public and
private sector like the stability the other offers.

In my state of Washington , i believe the going rate is a 23 million dollars subsidy and 89 cents every time individual people swipe their Card ... so yeah , kill the goose that lays the golden egg .

sounds like a bailout almost...assured profit

I just LOVE the Free Market and how it helps people---------the 1% people, and screws the 99%.

Corporations have a way of morphing into the solution providers of the cause of the day that is uncanny in their ability to thrive regardless of which party controls the WH or Congress.

Very intrigued by your comment. Wife born there and lots family still reside in SEA-TAC. Can you please enlighten me a little on how the process works? This just seems so wrong.

This. and thanks for the mention.

in Missouri they want to do away with prevailing wage

agreed. a greed. +^d

next time I'll spell it right....Jpwhoregan

I think he is just Old... =)

Got Me... =)

In a Pure democracy 51% of the population can take away the rights of 49% of the population. The majority wins even when its will is to oppress minorities.

That's why the U.S. is a Constitutional democratic"Republic" with constitutionally guaranteed rights that not even the majority can take away.

I'm going to guess he means pure democracy as the actual structure of a government, not a governing philosophy. See, what we have in the U.S. is a democratic republic. We are a democracy in philosophy and a republic in structure in that we have elected representatives who govern us rather than a structure of pure democracy which would be more along the lines of a popular vote on every issue, which can lead to minorities unfairly being drowned out by majorities.

Excellent distinction, and if this is what Paul means, he is correct. The issue of gay marriage is a prime example of something that has suffered in terms of the pure democratic process. The application of alleged constitutionally protected rights should not be applied based on an individuals lifestyle choice, or it's just legalized discrimination.

Isn't a popular vote on every issue called a referendum government?

If that's the method being used in the pure democracy, then yes it would be. It doesn't have to be a popular vote though. Pure democracy is when every citizen is part of the governing body versus a republic in which there are representatives who do the governing.

Only in a 2-party system.

So doesn't that mean that America uses both the popular vote, and representation? When a proposition is placed before the people , is that not a referendum, and doesn't the majority rule in these cases?

Yes, and that is done at the state level. A key concept in our system is to limit the power of the central, federal government and allow the people to more directly govern themselves at the state level. In fact, if the people of a state wanted to setup their state government as a pure democracy, they could. The Constitution does not dictate the structure of state governments as long as the rights granted to citizens at the federal level are not being threatened or taken away.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

a thought...if all gay couples filed as married how would the IRS respond? we do make the rules we are just made to feel we must play by theirs

Not a bad idea. Would be interesting to watch play out.

I don't give a damn how the IRS would respond. Every contributing member of our union is entitled to the same rights as everyone else. Anything less than that is just discrimination and not the American way.

Us making the rules is precisely my point. Rules that affect how someone lives should not be voted upon, especially when they infringe on people's rights. Privileges protected by the Constitution are not a matter of public debate, no matter how unpopular they are.

People that believe it should be are just bigots using democracy as a cover to justify inequality. And that's not what America was founded to be about.
