Speak English or leave.
Photo I.D. when you vote.
Must pass drug test to get government assistance.
Welfare only last 4 years.
Government jobs i.e. senators, judges, ect. 8 year limits.
So in essence, if you believe the constitution is "nuts", then I can see how your feeling toward Dr. Paul would be the same.
Tell me what liberties you lost?
1. The freedom to earn a livable wage that is not taxed to death by taxes to pay for wasteful government spending, unconstitutional wars and corporate bailouts to name a few.
2. The freedom to be able to shop for health and auto insurance across state lines due to regulations that cripple a free market society and restrict my choices.
3. As a business owner, the freedom to not be burdened from over regulation that cuts into profits.
4. As a traveler, the freedom to travel without being groped and fondled.
5. The freedom to live any where in the world I choose without being under the wrath of the IRS.
6. The liberties to live my life without government interference as far as what I can buy or use or digest as long as my actions do not harm others or violate anyone else's rights.
7. The liberty to live my life without being tracked by every move and being forced to supply social security number for certain transactions.
These are a few on the top of my head. I'm sure if I thought ii out, I could supply more.
2. This isnt a free market society. Its a mixed economy. Plus, state regulations vary by state, so purchasing a plan in IL but you live in WIS would create legal issues and one might not be covered in IL even though the WIS ins plan would cover it.
3. The regulations are harsh and I believe need to be reformed and the 300 Obama passed need to be cut along with the EPA. having said that, non of our liberties are taken by such regulations and they are completely constitutional.
4. Groped and fondled isn't what happens. You are a business owner aren't you, you can reject anyone from using your business for any reason you want. Its the freedom we have...IF you do not like being patted down for safety, the airlines wont allow you to fly. Thank freedom for that.
5. As long as you pay your taxes, you have that freedom.
6. If it is harmful to you and your body, I dont see why its a problem the government bans certain foods and drugs.
7. This is just plain paranoia. SS number is used to make sure it is you and not stolen.
I give you a couple facts regarding Austrian theory, here is a quote from Hayek's work, "economic theories can never be verified or falsified by reference from facts, all we can and must verify is the presence of our assumptions in the particular case."
They use deductive reasoning, not inductive which draws conclusions from data...Applies PRECONCEIVED generalizations to the data, its why its per-sceientifc and cannot use the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Don't get me wrong, deduction takes place in science, but generalizations come from previous data, not A PRIORI assumptions. How is that a sound method of reasoning????.....Austrian followers say, they can critique the world but the real world is prevented from informing their theories. They have qualitative predictions not quantitative, meaning they can call the government bad but the data suggesting otherwise wont disprove their claims. This means they can never be wrong...LOL Do you not see the flaw in this thought?
They use rationalism philosophies which have been abandoned since the 1880s. Rationalists are not constrained by data, facts, statistics, history, ...

Honestly, anyone educated as an economist can tell you this. The only people who follow this school of thought are ones who are out to gain something by doing so, for instance, Peter Schiff, owns a gold investment firm....
Here is a document to prove prices are stable
http://www.bls.gov/news.relea...
The price of oil is the main culprit in higher prices than the normal, annual inflation rate of 2%. We all know oil is needed to make and transport everything. Costs go up because of that. ^
We can blame the 2001 Futures & Commodies Act for the prices per barrel of oil going up....This bill allowed anyone to become a oil speculator..Before only the companies who used the oil could speculate the prices for the futures market...Speculators are needed for pricing the oil a couple months down the line after purchase...Why? Whoever bought the oil it takes 3-4 months to get the oil for consumption.
The price of oil (or whatever) is causing the price of things to go up every month (not every year, as explained in that government link you provided). There may come a time when their income won't be enough to sustain them. A year will pass and they will both get a %3 raise which will allow them to pay their bills again. But after a few months, because of the exponential growth in price, they won't be able to keep up. This is becoming a reality. It's not what anybody as told me. It's what I am observing for myself.
If the numbers don't change from year to year, then a raise will mean more income. It will mean more affluence and buying power. It won't mean, just keeping up with inflation and possibly drowning in debt just to keep your head above water. I hope you can see the potential truth of this.
I agree with "the price of oil is making prices go up." But what we were talking about was the FED and the ability of the government to print money. You said, its the governments and the FED's fault for lowering the purchasing power..Which is not true..No data ever has suggested.
Ron Paul says Ron Paul says Ron Paul says, people think for yourself. USE DATA not claims. How can you keep prices the same if without hindering the growth of our economy? The economy grows, the money supply grows with it. Prices go up because of our beautiful system of capitalism.
