You decrease taxes by eliminating fruit less government programs not by creating or expanding them.

I do not like the direction in which our economy is going which is straight into the pockets of the fat cats on Wall Street and overseas. Main Street pays and is going broke by the day.

This is my voice in Congress. Not all of us Americans are stupid!!!

With all due respect you are like the old Pharisees who tried to deny Christ's message--all those with God's spirit in them know you represent the Neocon enemy, which has polluted our money, started our wars, stripped our rights and indebted this country. Ron Paul's ideas will revolutionize the republican party--get ready for a new wave of young freedom lovers

Liberals are so stupid, God bless Ron Paul and others who uses commonsense.

Forgive me for speaking in generalizations...I was referring to free-market, or lazzie faire capitalism if you like. I agree that capitalism in general is not the same thing as free market liberalism.

That is true... for pretty much half the world. I would rather contribute that to the industrial revolution and not the monetary system.

Capitalism is not the same thing as free market liberalism. Capitalism is simply a society with generalized wage labour and commodity production. Capitalism can be regulated or not and it does not really matter if the state or private individuals who administrates the capital as long that it's capital that is being administrated. Pretty much the whole world (except the least developed areas) is capitalists, but of different sorts.

The time period from 1873-1933 was when the US went from being an agrarian nation to the richest nation the world has ever seen. Whatever panics or economic corrections occured, overall the trend was upward.

WOW! You have NO IDEA what you're talking about. If ignorance is bliss, you are ORGASMIC!!
