Ron Paul's Seattle Speech

That statement is golden, Doodleo86! In the insurance industry, they are permitted to charge rates based on losses and risk models in a given area.

With the greedy reach for global markets, giant companies have perverted the true essence of the marketplace.

What they have done is leading to a world with two classes - rich and poor. The middle class is doomed to exist on what these companies a "willing" to pay them rather than having an actual free labor market and permitting collective bargaining.

If baseball had no union, it would collapse with only a few players able to demand high salaries.

As long as corporate giants are allowed to use foreign labor to force U.S. wages down, the end result will be more quality jobs lost in the U.S. while corporate profits continue to rise.

you're right- laissez faire never works...

it will work if our jobs and market are based internally instead of being shipped overseas!

Sorry TRE, Ron Paul is a disaster!

Ron Paul may not be an idiot but he is close to it. He DOES NOT believe in Evolution (a Doctor who does not believe in Evolution is like an aerospace engineer who believes the world is flat).

Worse than that, Ron Paul is for Deregulation of corporations!

Don't they have enough power on K Street already without adding Paul who is running on a platform to reduce government regulation? We've already seen how the pharmaceutical industry screwed Medicare and how automakers and energy companies defeated emission control deadlines. Do we need Ron Paul further deregulating corporate wrongdoers?

Haven't we seen that corporations can't be trusted with firms like Enron. World Com, Exxon, Merrill Lynch, toy-makers, automakers, utility companies, coal burning plants, mining, forestry, agri-businesses, big oil, pharmaceuticals, insurance companies, the mortgage industry and more of the same that have always comprised Bush's "base"?

If you Ron Paul backers think deregulation will make corporate fascists "Play Nice" you are sadly misinformed and are basing your support on emotion and some fairy tale about ending the Federal Reserve and stopping the income tax.

Soon, we'll be able to order 12-year-old Chinese "Scotch" Whiskey with a "splash" of Melamine already included at no extra charge if we dismantle what little infrastructure is left in our government's increasingly-poor regulation of industry.

In every election, there are those who gain "rabid" but hopelessly misguided supporters who chant the candidate's name as if they were forecasting the "second coming".

Stop for a minute and think. With K Street already writing most of the laws that are passed, are you seriously saying DEREGULATION is the key? Ron Paul is and he is against National Health Care (not surprising for a Doc).

Not one single industry except perhaps the Airline Industry has proved better for consumers after deregulation!!!!!!! Ever!

Ron Paul is not electable in the first place.

He has never gotten more than 15% of the vote and that was in the Iowa caucus. Make your energy count and get behind efforts to abolish K Street influence and the stranglehold Corporate Fascism already has on our lives.

The fact that Ron Paul is running for president makes me still believe that there is a chance this country could make a change for the better.
