Whether you agree or disagree with Paul, you must understand that our economic problems are preventable, and we cannot move forward until they are fixed. Our country will go broke, and our currency will loose even more value if Ron Paul is not elected to Restore America Now!

• Ron Paul’s Economic Plan: Cut 5 Cabinet Agencies, Cut Taxes, Cut President’s Pay
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/...axes-cut-presidents-pay/?mod=google_news_blog

Why Ron Paul's plan is for the good of the masses:
• Unless we end the Federal Reserve the wealth disparity in the US and the wars in the middle east will continue (read further for explanation) this is the single most important policy held by Ron Paul, he is the only candidate who will End the Fed. He wrote a book regarding it, and has held this position for over 30 years. You must understand, the root of all our problems (pay attention OWS) are the banks, which are facilitated by the Federal Reserve and their anti-capitalist bailouts. We cannot see ANY progress in any aspect of American social or economic policy until it is eliminated, as until it is eliminated we will always be in debt and not be able to afford anything! The Federal Reserve is responsible for the current economic conditions resulting in the unemployment in wealth disparity recognized by OWS.
• Ron Paul is the only candidate who was against the bailouts, this would have allowed these corrupt banks to fail, and smaller local banks and credit unions to flourish.
• Ron paul is the only candidate who is against the wars in the middle east which has killed and injured US citizens and middle-easterners alike, whilst endangering US national security.
• Ron Paul is the only candidate who wants to end the Federal Reserve, America's single greatest cause of wealth disparity, whose policies led to the subprime housing crisis and the impending economic collapse we see today.
• Ron Paul is not for destruction of government or progress, he believes in the rule of law and the constitution more than any other candidate.
• Government subsidized healthcare only causes the cost to rise, as healthcare providers are given an incentive to increase the costs of their care, to be eligible for additional government funds. The same goes with college-aid, corn subsidies (which is perpetuating an unhealthy diet, and thus rising healthcare costs), etc. Ron Paul is the only one who will phase us out of these programs before they collapse - they are unsustainable and will crash, it is in our best interest to dismantle them in a controlled manner for the easiest transition.
• Ron Paul understands this, and this is how he was able to predict the housing crisis.

End the Federal Reserve
• A well documented argument on how the Federal Reserve depends on oil being traded in US dollars for it to sustain any international demand and thus value. Ron Paul advocates a gold standard to eliminate this dependence, and permit economic stability. Countries that have tried to abandon trading oil in US dollars include Iraq (pre-invasion), Libya (pre-invasion), Iran, Syria and North Korea (refuses to import oil with US dollars). Unless we are eased off this system, the US dollar will collapse at some point - this will result in a hyperinflation hellscape, where fuel costs spike and thus limit food and other essentials.

• A cartoon explaining how the Federal Reserve and IRS were deceptively created in 1913 - and how we cannot get out of debt until this system is eliminated. The Federal Reserve is a private corporation creates money with debt inherent. It is owned by the regional Federal Reserve banks, which are in turn owned by wealthy bankers (pay attention OWS, this is your enemy).

Wall Street's at fault for the spiraling cost of food...Not only does the world's food supply have to contend with constricted supply and increased demand for real grain, but investment bankers have engineered an artificial upward pull on the price of grain futures. The result: Imaginary wheat dominates the price of real wheat, as speculators (traditionally one-fifth of the market) now outnumber bona-fide hedgers four-to-one." - Foreign Policy (Goldman Sachs is a part-owner of the Federal Reserve, they would not be able to make these risky investments without it)

Face it America, this is our last chance, even if you disagree with some of Ron Paul's domestic policies (and by consequence would rather support 3+ unjust wars instead of the possibility of some social program changes because you think American life is worth more than middle-eastern life) we will not have a country with a strong economy if the Federal Reserve continues it's destruction of the economy, and then we will have nothing because the American voters stubbornly held on to the fantasy that the government could print money to fund its debt and entitlement programs.

The wars are not patriotic, the Fed is not patriotic. Liberty always prevails.
