@namaste2911 Govt is needed where the Market will react either too aggressively (attacking ANY company thought to pollute) or too weakly (ahh Gee, there’s nothing that can be done). If you’re saying that EPA and other agencies need to be BETTER at their jobs and that corporate influence is a primary contributor to why they’re often bad … AGREED! Corporate influence is the problem! Not govt because it’s govt.
Yes I’ve read Creature of Jekyll Isle. No I do not trust people. People are stupid
@UniversalPotentate the things they do if they realized the ramifications. Journalists would inform the public in NC that the river was in jeopardy and they would inform journalists in SC & there would be a boycott of the offending polluter and they would not flourish…back to having faith that people will do the right thing, especially if they are informed. Personally, I vote with my money all of the time by not supporting Monsanto. The EPA likes Monsanto; so does the FDA
@UniversalPotentate States rights is the issue and those factors are part of the issue. The EPA is hardly the be all & end all solution.
Quote from ‘Case for Ending the EPA’ Written by Selwyn Duke Friday, 23 September 2011 “Then there are cases in which EPA actions actually cause contamination.”
Free markets allow for a more informed public; right now corporations own & control the media which causes information to be suppressed. People would not spend money on half of the
@UniversalPotentate
Over regulation has hurt the free market, de regulation is necessary to put it back on its feet. The EPA does nothing but tell you what’s good for you and bad for you when you already have scientists that have already said it. Ron Paul supporters are wiser than you think, and we don’t need to government to tell us what’s safe. Lastly, we’ve gone into debt since the Federal Reserve. Explain that. Inflation deals with the market, not government.
@UniversalPotentate Have you read “The Creature From Jekyl Island”?
@namaste2911 The EPA IS holding things together that well. Corporations will NOT self-regulate. If they destroy a river in NC and flows to SC, what recourse do the citizens of SC have? The free market?
Certain standards ensure environmental protection.
Civil Liberties, such as drug use, are different than monetary and environmental policy. You cannot lump them together.
“Differentiation” is not a concept with which Paul supporters seem to do well.
@namaste2911 Inflation DID occur before the Reserve so did deflation. I’m no fan of the Reserve … but your facts are just wrong. The Reserve was put there to “stabilize inflation.” It has definitely done that, if nothing else.
Private Debt-Backed Money is the problem. Public fiat is a GOOD thing. It’s backed by nothing except the transactional needs of the market. God is STILL private money. Public money is the answer. Then a combination of Public Fiat and Private Asset-backed.
@namaste2911 It’s not like every person on the planet would run out & start taking heroin if it were suddenly legal.
You really think the EPA is holding things together that well? They’re the only reason things aren’t worse?
I have faith in people to do the right thing. I don’t believe anything is too big to fail. If the free market were permitted to function properly, the things people want would continue & the things people don’t want would fall away. Wouldn’t that be good?
@UniversalPotentate Only if the constituents of the states allow the pollution no sane person wants to go on, in their state. That’s the point of America; everyone is supposed to care for their own territory without infringing on the liberty of others & like minded people can group together & tell their local and state legislatures what they want their rules to be. Why should Alaska & Florida have to be identical?
It’s not like modern people would accept slavery again.
@UniversalPotentate If currency backed by a limited commodity is not a solution then why wasn’t there inflation until we allowed Congress to abandon their responsibility to coin money and place that duty in the hands of the Federal Reserve which was orchestrated in private by men representing one sixth of the world’s wealth at the time?
Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking are the problem.
@namaste2911 … unchecked corporate investor disruption of the economy.
A Gold Standard (or muti-commodity standard as Paul actually suggests) will limit our money supply, contracting our economy further. A combo of PUBLIC fiat and private multi-commodity would ensure the best monetary supply. Gold simply allows gold holders to play money games with banks. Paul does NOT discuss this.
No regulation, States Rights and a Gold Standard is combination for economic disaster. It’s NOT a solution.
@namaste2911 The Tea Party and Occupy Movement both want “corporate control” to avoid Wall Street investors from destroying Main Street jobs. Less regulation will not accomplish this. I trade options on the exchanges for a living, so I understand intelligent regulation vs over-regulation.
States Rights will allow coal and natural gas pollution, destroying water, air and land reserves while the EPA is eliminated. No sane person wants this.
Free Market will allow massive unchecked …
@namaste2911 Credit Default Swaps (CDS) were the unregulated financial instrument used to create the 08/09 economic and housing crash. These are NOT traded through any exchange and have no government regulations. Yet they represent a $65 trillion market.
Forcing these instruments onto an exchange (out of hiding) and with government regulation would prevent another crisis. Ron Paul believes the “free market” will sort these kinds of problems out. I do not.
…cont …
@UniversalPotentate Please clarify your objectives. My understanding of the occupy movement is that the 99% want to throw off the oppression generated by the 1%. I feel Paul’s concern for individual liberty demonstrates the same objective.
I AM AN INDONESIAN LIVING IN CANADA WHO IS NOT EVEN 18 YEARS OLD AND I SUPPORT RON PAUL TEN MILLION PERCENT TO STOP AMERICA NEEDLESSLY FONDLING WITH OUR PRIVATES

@namaste2911 I agree that most folks don’t follow through. Government tends to be more fair handed than businesses which often capitulate to their customers complaints. On the whole people lack of motivation, especially without clear and organized leadership; the problem with the Occupy Movement.
Paul doesn’t stand for many of the Occupy-type ideals. His ideas of “full-potential” are very different from mine.
Do we trust a politician with our ideas of “full-potential”? That’s my question.
@Gandalf17
It’s funny how you call other people stupid, when in actuality, you’re the biggest fool of them all.
@UniversalPotentate However, there is a level of anger coursing through the general public which will need to be directed into action if resolve continues to allude us. I think people still resonate with the concept of freedom. Reaction will come when they start to feel the pinch of the new legislation. Ron Paul wants the standing system to be permitted to function to its full potential. I believe apathy is diminishing.
Peace and strength to you.
Love to all!
@UniversalPotentate I’m in complete agreement with you regarding letter writing; emails & phone calls are dismissible, but government workers must act upon the paper that crosses their desks. I work in a call center for a bank; people question fees often. One older woman I spoke with complained about a fee assessed due to our compliance w/ Federal regulation; when I explained it was not our rule to change & advised her to write her Congressman she said, “I can’t be bothered”
woooooooooooooooh fuck israel… oh wrong vid
@namaste2911 Yeah … maybe people will start caring enough to actually do the simple things necessary to change the system. Instead of praying behind a messiah, they will write a Congressman or Bureau Director.
The problem is that most people simply don’t use the existing process we have to make change. They think it’s complicated and therefore “rigged.”
It’s not. They’re just too lazy … which is why you’ll never have a Revolution.
@UniversalPotentate Because of his voting record combined with his commitment to the rights of every individual.
If he were in this election for the purpose of pacifying vocal intellectuals, he would get more attention from the establishment owned media.
There’s no more waiting for the next time, anymore. If the objective of preserving freedom is not obtained through a fair election, the next step is Revolution.
he wont win. most american are STUPID. this man is genius, ron paul if u read me, let them go to hell. go back to ur patients.
@r0mney I’m more of a Dennis Kucinich guy myself. Ron Paul with a democratic house and senate would be great. Ron Paul with a republican house and senate would be a disaster.
Has anyone considered that Ron Paul is simply a voice of independent thinkers … to make them think they have a voice?
When he loses, independents will think they’ve had their say and just “try again in 4 years.”
This will simply perpetuate with no real change ever occurring … only the looming notion of it.
My point is that I don’t trust anyone. Why should I trust a professional Congressman?
