Hi PIP. Welcome.

Well, I don't know if I would classify it as amazing. I watched about 20 seconds of it and exited the page. :lol:

I deleted your other duplicate video. 1 of these is plenty. :wink:

The last I heard he's planning on "ruining" the RNC. First it was going to be outspoken supporters of his going nuts if he didn't get air time at the convention. Now it seems he has something a bit more subtle in mind. He's planning on having a duplicate convention at the same time and nearby to the RNC to show the Republican leadership that he isn't just some "fringe candidate". I think they're hoping to get even more people than the RNC will have.

I am confused. That guy is so boring, that I couldn’t bear listening to him any more. He makes absolutely no sense to me. He raises issues that shouldn’t be use for or against voting anyone of the candidates.

Since he’s criticizing that the Americans are floating in taxes I wonder how it really is. In the country I currently live in, we have to pay about 60% directly of the paycheck. More percent if you have a bigger paycheck. The sales tax is here 20%. The income tax depends on your earnings. 38.3 % under 25.000 €, 43.6 % to 51.000 € and above that it’s 50 %. Tax-free are layers, schools, hospital, doctors, insurance and anything else environmental (I hope you know what I mean by that).

Here it’s the other way around it seems. The more you have the more percent in taxes you have to pay.

America traditionally, if not always, has had lower taxes than European countries. America was founded on the idea of limited government. And because of that we had a small government people had more freedoms and there was no American empire. We were more interested in prospering than pissing in other countries. Then our government started to expand, we grew into an empire (around 1898, Spanish-American War), and we had to pay for it. The income tax was made constitutional in 1913 with the 16th amendment. Now we have the highest level of taxation in American history.

The problem is that taxes stifle growth, they don't encourage it. All these social programs and military budgets and etc. are paid for with tax money. (If you really want us out of Iraq you should be against more taxes, see how quick the war ends when the troops aren't getting paid.) So you have the government providing for people, encouraging a socialist society. That's against the very idea of America as written by its founders. That's the problem we have. I don't like America because I pay taxes and then the government provides for others with my money. I like America because it is (or at least was) one of the freest nations on the planet. The bigger the government gets, the more taxes we'll pay, and the worse it'll get.

We don't pay as much in taxes as other countries do, but that's not the point. The point is we shouldn't be paying so much of our money in the first place.

Yeah! And the government needs money because they get them selves every couple of years into some war. The US has a war-based economy since the 2nd world war.
Check out that list:

I guess the economy might collapse if they didn’t do so. The warehouses are full of bombs and weapons. They have to be used somewhere (preferably for a reason).

I am all for Ron Paul, but this guy is annoying. Some of his points are spot on, but his little act is too much.
