Socialism has been tried .. it doesn’t work .. her prescription is worse then the cure.

Ron Paul’s treatment of small government, non-intervention, fiscal responsibility and individual freedom is sorely needed.

Not normally an insomniac, I am nonethless up at 1:40 am this morning. I somehow stumbled on this site after googling Ron Paul. I have to be at work at 7 am, as I run a derivatives desk for the one of the largest banks on Wall Street. I’m never been called a “kook”, at least not to my face. In fact, as a Wall Street money guy with a Wharton MBA, I am more likely to railed against as a member of some “elite” by citizens normally labeled as “disaffected”, or more cruelly, “kooky”. And I am an ardent Ron Paul supporter. I’ve met a bunch of Ron Paul supporters, and only one so far has struck my as “kooky”. The rest? Other Wall Streeters, a couple of doctors, a few engineers, a construction worker, and a plumber. A cross-section of my community. People with spouses and kids. I would be happy to introduce them to you, as I would be happy to be tell you why a mainstream guy like me thinks Ron Paul is the greatest opportunity that this country has had since I was old enough to vote to re-estabish it pre-eminence. Instead of trashing the man and insulting his supporters, take 30 minutes to read his ideas in detail. At least, 30 minutes. His ideas simply don’t work in soundbite form. And if you still think he’s a nut after that, feel free to explain why. But if you react like most people I know have reacted, your initial reactionary skepticism of him will slowly be replaced thoughtfulness, then respect, then perhaps even unalderated and enthusiastic respect. That’s how it happened for me. And now it is 2 am and time for me to head back to bed.

Here is the complaint against the federal government by Liberty Dollar.

Imagine sitting in a dark room with all your peers; everyone is chained to their chairs. Sunlight from a large window in the back of the room shines brightly on the wall you’re facing. Behind you and your peers, someone is using his/her hands to manipulate the shadows you see in the light. You can never look behind you to see the him or her because your chains are too tight.

Now imagine breaking free of your chains. You run to the back of the room and see the person manipulating the light! You run out into the light desiring to, “learn the truth”, and having seen the truth you return to the room to tell your peers. When you tell them the truth you have learned, they respond by telling you that you’re crazy. You live the rest of your life trying to break everyone else’s chains so you can be with your peers again!!!

Have you paid to watch an “entertaining” movie, or are you more interested on what’s happening outside the theater?

I’ve got your ‘channel’ right here!

The real nuts are not Ron Paul people; the real nuts are those in the government who are destroying the value of the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar is now at its lowest level in history. Even the Canadian dollar (called the Loonie) is trading at an all-time high against the dollar. Why? Because of the insane economic policy and foreign policy that the U.S. government is pursuing. It’s the people pursuing those policies that are the real crazies.
