Ron Paul Can Fix US Economy Claims Reynolds

 
 
It is difficult to fix something if you don't understand it.  We all know that the economy is in a lot of trouble.  Ron Paul has been studying economics for decades and knows why the economy is in trouble.  He has been warning people in Washington about it for a long time and the more his "predictions" come true, (they are not really predictions, they are a rational analysis of what will occur if you take actions a, b and c), the more people are starting to listen to him and turn to him for answers.  Ron Paul is currently the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on domestic and International and Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology.  He has also authored several books on monetary politics and economics. 
 
On January 24, 2008, Ron Paul unveiled his four point plan to save our economy.  This plan is a mix of tax reforms, spending reforms, monetary policy reforms and ending burdensome regulations that stifle corporate growth and sends companies overseas.  In fact, if you look over the whole plan, it is quite beneficial to those near the bottom, and does not add a crippling debt to future generations and helps most of us now.
 
Ron Paul is the man for the people.  He was a doctor for many years, he delivered over 4000 babies and he cares about people - the little folks on the ground who wince when they have to pay $32.00 to buy two packages of toilet paper and fifty dollars to fill up a small sedan.  In the past few months, the cost of a bag of dry cat food has gone from $7.99 to $12.99.  These are big increases folks.  Increases that are starting to really hurt people who thought they were going to be fine and are devastating to those on fixed incomes.
 
Ron Paul's tax reform includes eliminating taxes on dividends and savings.  This will give people an incentive to save rather than consume.  With the dollar falling so fast, and taxes on savings who can blame people for wanting to get rid of their dollars while they still have some worth?  Ron Paul can help.
 
Ron Paul also wants to repeal the Death Tax.  There is no reason why a parent should not be allowed to pass their money to their own children rather than give it to the government. 
 
Ron Paul wants to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits.  He writes:  That money belongs to seniors, not the government. They paid into the system for a lifetime, and they should be free to spend every penny as they see fit.  What more needs to be said?
 
Ron Paul would also eliminate taxes on capital gains and eliminate taxes on tips.  That last one is a big deal to a lot of hard working single mothers, college students, heck, anyone living off of tips works hard for the money.  (Ask Donna Summer). 
 
The spending reform section is relatively painless.  First Ron Paul would save lives by putting our troops and bases on American soil.  This would put families back together, take young soldiers out of harm's way and save our country from bankruptcy.  He would also freeze non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.  For those of you on Social Security, don't worry, this does not include you. 
 
As far as monetary policy reform goes Ron Paul would want Federal Reserve meetings televised, so they can be subjected to public scrutiny.  He would expand transparency and accountability at the Federal Reserve (a large banking cartel that contrary to popular thought is not a part of the government).  He would also legalize gold and silver as competing currency.  Currently, if you don't have faith in the dollar and would prefer to get paid in gold or silver or trade with others for these metals it is illegal.  If you legalize this then you don't have to worry about the paper dollar crashing.  It would also stop Congress' ability to tax you overnight with an increase in the money supply.  I know this is complicated stuff, but trust me, boiled down it means that the government cannot tax you without you knowing about it, and the economy would be much more stable.  Ever wonder why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?  This all has to do in part with the fact that we have paper money that is backed by nothing and any time the fat cats want to take money from you all they have to do is print some more cash and voila!  the money goes from your pocket to theirs.
 
For the businessmen out there, don't worry, Ron Paul is looking out for you too (and our jobs).  Ron Paul would repeal Sarbanes/Oxley (aka Sarbox or SOX).  Most of you won't know what that is, but it is a regulation that basically accuses all businessmen of being crooks and they have to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of documents and accounting costs, just to show they are not crooks.  This bill was designed to protect the public but it ended up driving tons of businesses out of the country, many businesses had to close, and others are spending so much money to comply with this regulation that they cannot give the money to their workers.  Billions if not trillions of dollars has been tossed out the window in this economy complying with this regulation and it hurts us all.  Getting rid of it would bring businesses back, allow other businesses to start and truly help the economy.  This article explains it in more detail.
 
Finally, Ron Paul would repeal or remove costly and unnecessary federal regulations.  We don't need more laws in this country, we need fewer. 
 
Please click on the links to read the whole package for yourself.  For the more adventurous, go to www.ronpaullibrary.org or www.lewrockwell.com and look for the Ron Paul file.  Read about the different bills Ron Paul has introduced to help us all.  Then decide.  Do you want to vote for someone who understands what is hurting the economy, why we are in the mess we are in, and how to get us out of it and keep us safe, or do you want to vote for someone who says "Economy? What economy?  We are doing great!  Nothing to worry about here folks." 
 
Ron Paul is the man for the people.  The real people.  Who else can raise nearly twelve million dollars in three days in fifty dollar increments?  Find out why the people also support Ron Paul.  Oh, and Ron Paul receives more donations from service men and women than any other candidate - think maybe they want to come home now?
 
No matter how much the mainstream media blacks out Ron Paul, therea are still ways to learn about him.  Don't let the rich and powerful tell you who they want in Washington, go vote for a man who will help out the rest of us.  By the way, since the papers have kept this quiet too, I am sure you don't know that Ron Paul just finished second in Nevada and Louisiana.  He is moving up and he has money.  The rest of the so called viable candidates are flat broke because their supporters don't send them money.  Does that tell you something?
