Alot of what you just stated is what Ron Paul is talking about...farmers subsides he wants to get rid of, we sudside Exxon by being in the war overseas.
The Federal Reserve is where most of our problems can be traced back to. Which is not our own government.
Did your candidate vote for this stimulates bill that was passed yesterday?
Ron Paul voted NO |
No, the Federal Reserve is not the root of our economic problems. We subsidize Exxon with actual dollars. Exxon made $75,000 dallars a second last year. Capitalism at its best, I suppose. And 50,000 Americans got to put heating costs on their credit cards. Exxon has profited from the war in Iraq.
another example:
Crossing the Lines
Social Security is self financed.
We also subsidize WalMart.
I think the only time that we should subsidize business is when the technology is nascent and start up costs prohibitive. An example would be the internet when it was getting off the ground. Another, more timely, example would be alternative fuels.
