completely destroy the middle class? How so? Please be specific.
He wants to eliminate the minimum wage correct? That reduces labor prices across the board. He supports the deregulation of our financial system. He supports free trade. Ron Paul supports eliminating anti-trust and monopoly laws.
Those things alone might wreck the middle class permanently. Like I said, the middle class only exists because of protectionism. It needs to be preserved. That means financial regulation, labor regulation, etc.
Ron Paul is not a doomsday scenario your being ridiculous.
I disagree. A president isn't an autocrat. So it really depends on what type of congress he was working with. But if he was working with a republican congress, certainly they would support all the parts of Ron Paul's ideology that benefits the wealthy and go against the Paul's policies that would be of benefit to the American people. It would be a disaster. Doomsday would be an appropriate term.
But like the point made in the video, if Ron Paul had a democratic congress to temper his more extremist positions, I'd probably prefer him as president to Obama.
And then there is all kinds of middle ground between those things.
Based on Ron Pauls Income, HE IS technically in the 99%..hes in the 50%. This combined with his only corporate donations being technology like Google. Ron Paul doesn't answer to lobbyist and take corporate money.
I don't know if he answers to lobbyists or not, nor do you TBH. We aren't in the room when they are. But it is a fact that he's taken plenty of corporate money. He's taken PAC money from oil companies and the health insurance companies for sure.
Who funds Obama and the others? Goldman Sachs, F&F, JP Morgan ...Special Interest....and now shit like the Koch Brothers with the super pacs its retarded.
Well you could say the same thing about Jon Huntsman. If Paul wins Iowa, that will change. Right now Ron Paul isn't taking a lot of corporate money because not a lot of corporations are willing to give him money. But if he can show he's for real, that will all change. It's easy to be principled when those principles never get tested. Obama got most of his money from individual donors in 2008. Now he's quite friendly with all the lobbyists.
