And I'm out before I get drawn too deeply into another political thread.

Nah, they're pulling for a viable candidate. But nice deflection of the charges. You're going to make a great Ph.D.

That image is just more FUD. All of those programs should be eliminated, but that doesn't mean people will be left to fend for themselves like cavemen.

I personally would love to have no public schools. I think most people would also after seeing the results of a voucher program for private schools.

Wait, so is corporate power today actually restrained by government?

It really didn't seem so.

Not since Citizens United, but I imagine since 80% of the population disagree with the decision that we'll see a constitutional amendment sometime soon.

The way the image you posted words it, it seemed as if corporations were struggling nowadays and Ron Paul would free them from the shackles.

Well he can insult me as much as he wants, but bumper sticker slogans don’t really carry a ton of academic weight in the real world. But if Ron Paul’s policies were as pro-corporatism as he alluded to, Paul would have far more monetary support from them. Currently he attracts next to nothing from them, except their ire.

It’s beyond my level of caring to explain basic economic concepts to people and to point out the differences between free markets and corporatism on video game forums. So I will just let the experts speak for themselves. For those interested in better understanding Ron Paul’s economic positions would benefit from this link:

There are literally tens of thousands of pages of scholarly articles and entire books written on all manners of Austrian economic theory, and the Mises institute provides all of it for free.
