Actually he's advocating the complete abolition of the legal and social framework and the US and the complete abolition of the Army
I have to wonder, why would you bother to make up such an outrageous lie, when it's so trivially disproven? Ron Paul advocates reducing the power of the federal government to that which is delegated to it in the constitution, which in case you haven't heard, is the legal framework of the United States.
his continued writing for white supermacist organisations
for much of Roman history, it was even legal for a man to kill his wife or children.
Sadly, in many places in the world today, a man killing his wife or children is likely to get a slap on the wrist at most, if the wife or child "dishonored" the family.
" If you buy a stock with the expectation of its price rising, you're gambling, not investing. "
That's nonsense. If you buy a with a reasonable expectation of continued growth, it's an investment like any other equity purchase. If you put your money in without any research, then it's gambling, whether the company pays a dividend or not.
Contracts expire. When they do, if you're a musician who has the prospect of distributing his work online and taking the lion's share of the revenues, or cutting a deal with a venture capitalist who'll pay you under 10% of the proceeds, what option would you take?
The record companies are a 20th century business that is rendered obsolete by the internet.
Man, I was wondering what was taking them so long. The blu-ray disk is a standard size polycarbonate substrate, just like the CD and DVD. What is it about blue laser optics that's been holding this up?
Microsoft was cool at two points in their history. Just before BG wrote the letter you mention, and when they bought SubLogic to get what became the Microsoft Flight Simulator.
If we go back to the rule of law, and reduce the power of government to those we delegated to it in the constitution, then what is there for the bankers to influence?
I'd like to see what Dubai could come up with if they got into the pyramid business... How about a kilometer high, with a ski slope and a zepplin mooring mast?
And who is their partner in crime? (Hint: starts with a "G").
The problem here is that the power that the cartel usurps is available to seize in the first place! Government should never have had the power to grant a monopoly, whether in banking or any other service.

Ron Paul is the only one advocating the return to this
;-)
Correction: the only one who's running for president that advocates this. There are several tens of thousands of supporters, too.

Sorry, but your attempt to paint Ron Paul as a racist has failed. Feel free to play again, though.

Yes, you can. Ask an attorney to explain it to you.

Greed, abetted by laws that create a banking cartel and outlaw competition with that cartel. Thanks for playing, you got it half-right.
