Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure what you mean? Are you saying that the federal government should ONLY be in control of the military?

Wow, thanks for your well-thought out reply! If anyone has some graphs with numbers I'd love to see them!

I remember reading in the 1980's that welfare spending only amounted to 2%. What are the numbers on government spending now?

Hi all, I just listened to this speech, but I can't quite understand what Dr. Paul is saying. I'm writing this quote down so I can look at it again in the future. Here's the quote I've written down: “Sound economic growth is based on savings and investment, deferring consumption today in...

Hey guys, I just heard about this. Does anyone have a video I can look at?

Hi all, I've been reading a little bit of material on Western European socialism as well as socialism we see in the Nordic countries like Sweden. I'm not talking about Soviet-style socialism. Over there, their tax rates are far higher than what we see in the USA. It's not uncommon to see tax...

Hi all, I've read 80% of Ron Paul's 'Liberty Defined' and he mentions what things the government ought to not be involved in. However, he doesn't list what the government should be involved in. Where has Ron Paul stated what the government ought to do? Thank you!

Hi all, from what I can tell it seems that Ron Paul only wants the government to be doing three things: the military for national defense, the police for domestic defense, the courts to resolve legal issues and a small bureaucracy to overseer everything. However, Ron Paul also says that the...

Alright, thanks. Has he ever said which amendments he doesn't agree with? I was just asking a question. As a conservative, I just assumed Ron Paul only supported the original Constitution. Thanks for the negative reputation. I don't know you're so hostile when I'm just wanting to learn. Not...

Oh, alright. So slavery was only made illegal in the 13th Amendment. I thought Ron Paul only followed the original Constitution and not the amendments that were made afterward?

Hi all, this has been on my mind for some time now. Ron Paul says that every other nation ended slavery by buying the slaves and paying much more than they're worth on the market. I told my friend this and he said "Well, the slave traders could just buy more from Africa" and I was stopped me in...

Hi all, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I haven't been able to find an answer. I'd love to see a pie chart or graph of how much the government makes up in the entire American economy. I'd love to see other countries as well. Any help would be really appreciated!

Has Ron Paul ever said where the limit on bearing arms begins?

Hi all, I was reading Ron Paul's book 'Liberty Defined' last night. In it he says that slavery was banned in the Constitution, but I thought slavery was banned and this was how the slave holding states were able to keep slavery. From the book: "Of course, the Constitution says nothing about...

This is a little bit worrying isn't it? I don't know if I like the idea of a person owning such a powerful vessel...
