Ron Paul only has 11% donations greater then 500 dollars or more. 60% of his donations come from people like me donating 200 or less. In my case 10 dollars. http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/campaign-finance#canda=ron-paul&candb=mitt-romney
Unfortunately, I don't agree with Ron Paul's agenda.
However, because he is able to successively campaign with many small contributions than so can any other candidate. In this way we can argue for capping campaign contributions to $500 per person or corporate entity.
This is true. What part of his agenda do you disagree with and why? Thanks for your input.
Returning to the gold standard, mainly.
Well we came off the gold standard in 1971 under Nixon. This single action gave the power to the fed to print as much money as they want to and has lead to the economic issues we have today. Having gold behind our money is the only way to stop this runaway inflation,.
Don't agree. Inflation is necessary to discourage the hoarding of money forcing people to invest it back into the economy.
We will always have inflation gold standard or not. The problem is we have two options here in the end. Gold standard or a world currency. The next collapse of our economy is coming fast and it will be the collapse of the dollar due to excess printing of money and out of control debt. I will not be surprised if this occurs before 2012 or at least with in the next 5 years if we don't change our ways.
We basically already have a world currency, and that is the American dollar which many countries use as a reserve.
Also I look at it this way. No one can go to a bank and get a home loan with out putting up the house for collateral. So no bank will give out a home loan on good faith. Though we let the government print and distribute money on good faith alone and they can say its worth something just because they say so. If something will not work in the market it will not work in government. Having collateral behind our dollar is all the gold standard is.
Thats the issue with the collapse of the dollar. please watch this full video.
