Now, in sum, I don't like Giuliani or Clinton anymore than I like Ron Paul. Ron Paul isn't going to be able to abolish the IRS or the Federal Reserve even if he did become president. And Giuliani isn't likely going to be able to close down all porn websites (guy has quite the record of closing adult businesses). But the guy is highly unlikely to win and if you think so well, you are the one who should be laughed at.

People that planned their lives for social security are not going to be without. But let's get the newer generations prepared to actually save and plan for their own futures. This government cant control it's spending. People handing over their money in hopes the government will take care of it and support them when they are old is dangerous. Giving $20 to the government for safe keeping is like giving it to a junkie.
Ron Paul if elected would get something done- a message to these fat greedy bastards that we are done with the status quo. The next revolution will not happen with guns and violence. It will happen at the ballot box. but only after things get really shitty and doped up america starts thinking again.
