Media Deliberately Ignores Ron Paul

[Sifter]

This statement has two flaws: "Ron Paul is a mason but when it comes to choosing a president you pick the least evil of the bunch". Most people have no clue what it is to be a mason #1... #2 is the fatal flaw... it's unconscionable to vote only to vote the other OUT!!!!!

The vote should go for who you support even IF you think he/she would not "win". And, as for as a majority rule?
66 1/3 is NOT a majority, it's marginally more than equally divided. Majority ought to be more in line with 80 - 85% else the issue is NOT resolved.

Ron Paul is by far our best hope in the contemporary system.
That does NOT dismiss the fact that the president is not the ultimate power holder.

We have been pussy whipped into believing we have NO power to change a frickin' thing... is why so many just DON"T vote at all.

And wtf >> "A flat tax will be fair when everybody gets the same pay" .... man that's some weird thinkin!

The fair tax only has to do with necessities and new things like cars and houses (NEW).

by the way: $250k is NOT rich. Middle class encompasses from $85k to low six figures. Hello from one peon to another! hee hee

I see Ron Paul as the best choice of the candidates who are running. Do you feel there's a better candidate?

Anyway the elections are fixed and even if Ron Paul got the majority of the votes they wouldn't reveal that.

Then the bottom line is the president is just a puppet and it wouldn't matter who got into office. The president has to do what he's told or else.

When you're making $20,000 or less, $250,000 is seen as rich.

Agree Sifter, people should vote for the candidate of their choice, but we have this manipulated mindset that we waste a vote because they can't possibly win.. If the media keeps telling people that, they will vote accordingly and the indpendant candidate will continue to lose.

As far as the flat tax, I do support it however I also do not believe everyone should get the same pay. That would take away all incentive to work hard, study hard, to get ahead. We would all be sheeple. That smacks of Socialism and I do not support that. Capitalism has worked for this country for a long time. Socialism has failed over and over in other countries.

I haven't analyzed the effects of the "fair tax" yet so I can't comment on that. I just believe flat tax would force everyone to pay the same tax on their income so the rich would automatically pay a lot more money than they do now because all tax breaks would be eliminated.

250K @ 10% is 25K...
20K @ 10% is 2K...
2 M @ 10% is 200K ..

That's significant and the gov. will get the full amounts because there will be no deduction or tax loop holes. Those making millions now do not pay the 200K but under a flat tax they would be required to.

"Cherish the spirit of our people and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to public affairs, you and I , Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves.
It seems to be the law of our general nature in spite of individual exceptions; and experience declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind; for I can apply no milder term to the governments of Europe, and to the general prey of the rich upon the poor."
Jefferson

"The man who starts out with the idea of getting rich won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition."
Rockefeller

"That we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us- that we should respect the rights of others as scrupulously as we would have our rights respected- is not a mere counsel of perfection to individuals- but it is the law to which we must conform social institutions and national policy, if we would secure the blessings and abundance of peace."
Henry George

" A man asked to define the essential characteristics of a gentleman- using the term in it's widest sense- would presumably reply 'The will to put himself in the place of others; the horror of forcing others into positions from which he himself would recoil; the power to do what seems to him to be right, without considering what others may say or think.'"
Galsworthy

"He who would do some great thing in this short life must apply himself to work with such a concentration of his forces as, to idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity"
Parkman

"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; who's life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction."
A.J. Stanley

"The sole aristocracy of today is the aristocracy of wealth; the sole aristocracy of tomorrow will be the eternal divine, beneficent aristocracy of intellect and virtue- at it's highest, genius; but that, like everything that descends from God, will rise among the people and labor for the people."
Mazzini

"We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. We have lost the power of even imagining what the ancient idealisation of poverty could have meant; the liberation from material attachments, the unbribed soul, the manlier indifference, the paying our way by what we are or do, and not by what we have, the right to fling away our life at any moment irresponsibly- the more atheletic trim; in short, the moral fighting shape.
It is certain that the prevalent fear of poverty among the educated classes is the worst moral disease from which our country suffers."
William James

"The world is blessed most by men who do things, and not by those who merely talk about them."
James Oliver
