America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in history through low taxes, constitutionally limited government, personal freedom, and a belief in sound money. We need to return to those principles so our economy can thrive once again.

Other candidates talk a lot about stimulus packages, but my record stands alone. I have fought for these measures in Congress as the Ranking Member on the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade and Technology, and as a member of the Joint Economic Committee, and will fight for their passage as president.

My plan entails four points: Tax Reform, Spending Reform, Monetary Policy Reform, and Regulatory Reform.

Tax reform means reducing the tax burden and eliminating taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes. If we cut spending to the level it was at under the Clinton administration, we can permanently do away with the income tax and the IRS. No true conservative would say that government was too small during the Clinton years!

There are several steps we can take to immediately ease the tax burden. I have proposed H.J. Res 23, which would repeal the Sixteenth Amendment and thus eliminate income, estate, and capital gains taxes. H.R. 191 would repeal President Clinton's 1993 increase in taxes on Social Security benefits, while H.R. 192 would repeal all taxes on Social Security benefits. I also support legislation to accelerate depreciation on investment and end the practice of taxing forgiven mortgage debt.

In the area of spending reform, I want to eliminate wasteful spending, reduce overseas commitments, and freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels. I never vote for pork-laden bills, and I will veto them and any unbalanced budget as president. We need to refocus our national defense so that we guard our own borders, instead those of other nations. We can save billions if we stop subsidizing our trading partners in Europe, Japan, South Korea and other nations. Congress does not have the constitutional authority to send out foreign aid, and our current foreign policy of nation building is bankrupting us.

Monetary policy reform means expanding openness at the Federal Reserve and requiring the Fed to televise its meetings, as well as returning to sound money. Washington's disastrous fiscal policies, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation, are some of the greatest threats facing our nation today. It is this one-two punch - Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Treasury printing money to make up the difference -- that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars. It's time to end the fiat money system, legalize competing currencies, and restore soundness to our dollar.

Finally, we need to institute true regulatory reform by repealing Sarbanes/Oxley's regulations that push companies to seek capital outside of U.S. markets. Congress' rush to action after the Enron scandal gave us a bill that has heavily burdened small businesses and driven companies offshore. I also support repealing federal regulations that prevent financial institutions such as independent and community banks and credit unions from fostering economic growth.

A true package to stimulate the economy not only puts money back in Americans' pockets, it deals with the underlying causes of our current situation - an out-of-control foreign policy, runaway deficit spending, and currency devaluation brought on by the Federal Reserve's inflationary policies. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity.-Ron Paul

KILL SCIENTOLOGY:
Ron Paul believes the environment should be protected. He believes that in a system proposed by him (in regards to smaller govt, restoring liberties/money/power to the people etc), he believes those companies who pollute shouldn't be taxed, but punished. Simply taxing them for pollution/carbon etc delivers the wrong message. He believes it is something that the state should mostly be involved in, NOT the federal government, and for individuals polluting they should be fined for such acts. The same thing for companies, but how, you ask - could you determine what pollutants are caused by what companies in an area when they all pollute, and it seeps into a river,t he ground, air, etc?

He would encourage an entity(s), most preferably a private one, that could specialize in what he refers to as "environmental forensics". Much the same way you can extract DNA to determine who it belongs to in forensics, and determine where a bullet came from through other forensics, there are ways to track down where pollutants/particles have come from as well. There would of course be an acceptable/unacceptable level of said pollutants.

I think it's a great idea, and would contribute to the lack of need for the significantly overinflated, corrupted, bureacratic, complex and wasteful federal entity known as the EPA (that taxes pay towards, btw). You can't tax companies who produce however much pollution, because there are loopholes theyd find to take advantage of, and again it just delivers the wrong message. Plus a company rich enough wouldn't care. They should be fined SIGNIFICANTLY and/or punished in other ways.

OK,  The forensic idea sound a bit crazy.  I have to say I understand why he would say it is something each state should be left to deal with it the way the state sees fit. Very much sticking to the basic principals for the constitution.  I disagree partially, not that states shouldn't participate, but that it needs to go across every state, the problem is larger then just leaving it to each state. I also feel this way about voting and qualifing to run as a candidate...the laws very so much from state to state that it makes it nearly impossible for third party.  Voting system needs to be revamped.  Does he have any views on the current voting/election process? 
        Why not tax the hell out of polluters?  Where's the loop hole? What's the wrong message?  I don't have the means to sue my neighbor or a huge corp. for polluting.  I know as Americans we are big on private property.  Yes, it is our land, but in a way we do have a landlord...and that's the planet as a whole.  If we continue our way of life, we won't have a life.  The earth will still be here, but we kill our host basically. If gas was $20.00 a gallon do you think we'd still be addicted to oil like we are now? My guess is we'd be in a real hurry to get off oil all together.  I went on his offical page, read the environment section.  I was looking for a bit more, although I never heard about forensics there.  I see he is for wind, solar, doesn't cut down trees, thats all good.  Immigration policy, love it!  ProLife-yikes! That really scares me.   I'll keep reading more.  But I appreciate the input, it helps.  I will say I may not agree with him on everything, but I have great respect for the man.

His views on being pro life are his alone, and doesn't think they should be forced on anyone else. not really that scary.

Well that does make me feel better about the issue.  Personally I feel the same.   Where does he stand on stem cell? 

The rebel forces of Paul -- Ron Paul -- organize to resist John McCain

As far as Sen. John McCain is concerned, the Republican presidential nomination is a done deal and he's working on uniting the party behind him. But thousands of Republicans -- particularly supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul -- aren't buying that.

In the Pennsylvania primary, more than 215,000 Republicans cast ballots for Paul or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee , who quit campaigning weeks ago. Together, they captured 27% of the Republican vote.

That was tame compared with the uproar last weekend at Nevada's Republican Party Convention. Or before that in Missouri.

About 600 well-organized Paul supporters overwhelmed McCain's forces, as The Ticket reported earlier this week, and engineered a rule change that permitted national convention delegates to be nominated from the floor, wresting the task from party establishment leaders.

That evening, party leaders unexpectedly adjourned the session, saying the proceedings would take too long to finish that night.

But tongues were set wagging about whether the adjournment was a maneuver to save McCain from the embarrassment of being swamped by Paul delegates.

Eric Herzik, a political scientist at the University of Nevada, Reno, said the disruption reflected, among other things, that McCain had "yet to capture the hearts and minds of Nevada Republicans." Previously, Paul forces had elected about one-third of the delegates to the Missouri state Republcan convention.

As the 72-year-old Paul, who is unopposed in the November election for his 11th House term, suggested to his dedicated troops earlier this year in a video, they should prepare for for the long haul.

And buy his new book, which has promptly soared to the top of Amazon.com's bestseller list.

All of which suggests there might be some drama or at least confrontations in St. Paul at the GOP's national convention in September after all.

The environmental movement was set up by Eugenicists in which one of it's main goals was to use enviromentalism to
depopulate the Earth.

No we do not have too many people at all.

There is no peak oil and no food shortage (There is plenty of both) until the major oil companies
bought about 100-200 oil refineries and shut them down to create an artificial bottleneck.

Kissinger prepared a depopulation manifesto for President Jimmy Carter called 'Global 2000'
which detailed using food as a weapon to depopulate the third world.

WWF was Eugenics founded. Google 'Eugenics'. You'll find this article informative.

Global warming hysteria serves as excuse for world government
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2007/140307hysteria.ht m
"In a report titled "The First Global Revolution" (1991) published by the Club of Rome, a globalist think tank,
we find the following statement: "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....
All these dangers are caused by human intervention... The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

"Richard Haass, the current president of the Council on Foreign Relations, stated in his article "State sovereignty must be altered in globalized era," that a system of world government must be created and sovereignty eliminated in order to fight global warming, as well as terrorism. "Moreover, states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function," says Haass. "Globalization thus implies that sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality, but that it needs to become weaker. States would be wise to weaken sovereignty in order to protect themselves..."

Pianka, a professor at the University of Texas who has a following of dedicated environmentalists, made startling comments regarding population reduction to a group of students and other scientists in April of 2006. Because of the negative effects of overpopulation on the earth, Pianka proposed that the Ebola virus be used as a tool of population reduction. Pianka also praised China's one child policy, saying that, "China was able to turn the corner and become the leading world super power because they have a police state and they are able to force people to stop re-producing."

Global warming? It's natural, say experts
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.ht ml?in_article_id=481613&in_page_id=1811

"Climate change is much more likely to be part of a cycle of warming and cooling that has happened regularly every 1,500 years for the last million years, they say."

"Two thousand years of published human histories say that the warm periods were good for people.

"It was the harsh, unstable Dark Ages and the Little Ice Age that brought bigger storms, untimely frost, widespread famine, plagues and disease."

Mr Singer said: "We have a greenhouse theory with no evidence to support it, except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events.

"The models only reflect the warming, not its cause."

The most recent global warming was between 1850 and 1940, the authors say, and was therefore probably not caused by man-made greenhouse gases."

They argue that variations in the Sun's radiation have far more influence on our climate than humans.

Mr Singer said: "This can all be explained by the Sun's activity."

He added: "The number of the Sun's cosmic rays hitting the Earth affect the number of low, cooling clouds that reflect solar heat back into space, amplifying small variations in the intensity of the Sun."

You just keep on saying that Bucky, but from everything I've seen and all his speeches and all the links and such that you lot keep posting he sure looks like one.



I guess "Birds of a feather".

Ok then show me.

So just because prison planet supports him makes Ron Paul a conspiracy nut?
