I hear Dr. Ron Paul on Meet the Press Sunday, Dec. 23, 2007 and the man is awesome. He is by far the best candidate we have had in years. He is well informed and he has an 8 or 9 point platform that is outstanding.
Dr. Paul wants to get out of Iraq. He thinks we should never have gone there. He says American sons are dying for nothing because Saddam Hussein was not an enemy to the United State. Israel is the one that did not like him!!! (I say let Israel fight their own wars.) He says we should bring all out troops home and stop trying to police the world. Other countries resent our military presence and all it does is create hostitlity. Wars put a lot of money in the pockets of big Corporations while it robs the tax payers.
Dr. Paul wants to get rid of the income tax. He says the middle and working class were never supposed to pay a federal income tax.
He wants us to stop giving aid to other countries. Most of them hate us, so why are we giving them billions of dollars of our tax dollars?
He wants to get rid of so called fair trade laws like NAFTA, GAT, ETC., as they are ruining the economy of this country and creating joblessness. He also wants to reinstate tariffs to protect goods coming into this country.
He wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve. The Founders Fathers never wanted a large privately owned banking system like the so called Federal Reserve (which is not federal and has no reserves.)
He is against illegal immigration and the incredible cost to our communities in free hospital care, free education, welfare handouts, rising crime, etc.
He thinks most issues should be handled by the States and not the Federal government.
There is more, much more. Go to
