Yeah, and he didn't really present any real ideas. Overall, he was probably the weakest of them all imo.i laughed when i saw the other presidential candidate is the former CEO of a pizza company haha
So a UNFAIR tax, and MORE money printing out of thin air is the solution to all our problems eh? Perhaps they are the cause.im watching the republican debate on DVR atm, Ron Paul is killing the other guys TBH.
edit: yeah I finished watching it now. Ron Paul killed the other guys. It's interesting how main stream weed legalization is getting, what was it, three candidates out of the five said they'd legalize? Or two, can't remember... It was worth the watch to say the least, even though I disagree entirely with all of their economic ideas. A FAIR tax? Really? Abolish the Fed? I mean, I know a lot of those ideas are popular on these boards but that doesn't mean that they're a good thing(hint: they aren't).
i was actually talking with a friend earlier about how its funny that its okay for conservatives to want to legalize drugs now. all of a sudden its not a terrible thing anymore? lolim watching the republican debate on DVR atm, Ron Paul is killing the other guys TBH.

Yes. I'd like to hear you're thoughts on what's so wrong with a progressive tax system, actually.So a UNFAIR tax, and MORE money printing out of thin air is the solution to all our problems eh? Perhaps they are the cause.
Even if RP Wins, he will be assassinated or air force one will crash or some godawful thing.
Santorum? IDK about that one, he'd get eaten to shreds in a general election IMO. He's too socially conservative to be viable in the eyes of the middle/left for sure. He could win the primaries if Paul, Romney and Huckabee fell off a cliff but otherwise I dont think even the conservatives think he can beat Obama.who i think stands the best chance (of these 5): santorum, cain, johnson
Umm.. Ron Paul is a Republican... this was the GOP debate...Yeah.....there weren't any GOP Candidates on that stage last night. I don't know why Ron Paul has such limited appeal but sadly he isn't going anywhere.
I have to say, Rand sounded like a crazed lunatic during the election but since he has got to DC, he's sounded pretty level headed. But yeah, he would get slaughtered in the General Election but I'm not sure I can't say that about anyone the GOP tosses to the lambs in 2012. I wouldn't wantt to be a Republican Candidate that year. I think I'd sit it out myself.replace mccain with paul.
you know who might stand a chance in the gop primary? rand. good ol' opossum hat wearing rand.
he would get slaughtered in the election, but might get the primary.
It breeds malcontent, class warfare, envy. Man was created equal, he should be treated equal. Making the more you make the more you get taxed is a sure way to ensure people never try to make more.Yes. I'd like to hear you're thoughts on what's so wrong with a progressive tax system, actually.
Actually, it helped to create the greatest nation on the planet. Quite the opposite of what you claim. Progressive Tax is nothing new in America and Federal Tax rates are at astonishing low levels. Reagan taxed the rich 50%.It breeds malcontent, class warfare, envy. Man was created equal, he should be treated equal. Making the more you make the more you get taxed is a sure way to ensure people never try to make more.
and what would you do to prevent oligarchy? Money is power as they say.It breeds malcontent, class warfare, envy. Man was created equal, he should be treated equal. Making the more you make the more you get taxed is a sure way to ensure people never try to make more.
