Dr. Paul has once again defended the Occupy Movement. I agree with him. The majority of people I have met at Occupy Protests are smart and driven people.
The problem is the Federal Reserve, Corporate Welfare, Lobbyist Influence and the Wall Street Bailouts. Oil Subsidies, the War on Drugs, etc. destroy our economy. Hemp would give our country a lot of jobs very quickly. Dr. Paul has introduced hemp legalization bills in Congress.
I think the Doc deserves some respect from the Occupy Movement, as he has given the movement a lot of respect and defended it numerous times in the debates, interviews and even when he was interrupted by protesters during a speech. I'm not saying you have to agree with him 100% or even vote for the guy, just give him the respect he has given you.
