Protecting privacy? Getting rid of the National ID card? Stopping needless 'Police Actions'? Focusing on ending America's finacial bankruptcy?
I may not be on the ball for ending birthright citizenship, but those other things sound pretty good. I'm preferring Edwards right now, because he sounds very Libertarian. But it's too early in the race.
I'm fairly neutral when it comes to politics (weird eh?) but this Ron Paul guy reminds me of old-school republicans. Arguably, the best kind. Although there is one thing I am not sure about. If he plans to oppose trade acts like NAFTA (sorry my knowledge of the others is sub par), won't that hurt both the US and it's neighboring countries?
No. While I'm all for trade agreements, these locale-based trade unions gradually increase their powers and subvert the rights of their member governments. The result is an overlord government completely (as opposed to mostly) controlled by special interests, where the citizens had no say in the creation of said government. Think along the lines of the EU.
It's not that everybody who is poor is stupid, it's that when you try to help them with a socialist program the scummiest people of our society abuse it. It's like keeping one of those 'please take one' baskets out on halloween, somebody invariably dumps the whole thing in the bag. The majority of welfare recipients are true to the steriotype, they'd remain on welfare indefinitely if we allowed it. The minority who uses the program as originally intended gets screwed.
Why do people believe that government is the only solution for poverty? Government is the most inept solution of all. The real solution is generosity on an individual level. When you see a hungry person, you buy them food, when somebody needs help, you help them! Government is not the only force that can correct poverty, and when government tries to it ends up paying money to all the wrong people.
On the flip side of that, for those that do support the opinion that you stated (that the poor are too lazy and need to take care of themselves) what right have you to demand the government unconstitutionally steal money from them to redistribute? Are you saying that you believe if you think that everyone should be forced to give money to something, you have the right to call in the government to force it from people that disagree?
What if I believe everyone should give money to christian ministry overseas? Should I be able to vote in a government that takes your money by force then redistributes it to christian evangalism ministries? You probably would say that that would be unconstitutional AMIRITE? So are the current social government programs that we pay for.
