He has radical ideas that I think would severely damage the country. E.g., he favors a flat-tax that would intensify our plutocracy.
What do you find appealing about Paul?
How much more of a plutocracy can we have?
None of Ron Pauls ideas can be defined as radical (that I know of). The Status quo is radical.
Ron Pauls ideas are reactionary and conservative. They are the same ideas the country was founded on. We have become so used to these radical status quo practices of the plutocracy that we believe and have been told that a return to the conservative ideas is "radical".
Fox news tried to ban Ron Paul from the republican debate. Isn't Ruppert Murdoch part of this Plutocracy?
And isn't it radical for A media monopoly man to be so closely tied in with our government?
What appeals to me about Ron Paul is The issues he is able to put into national presidential debate on T.V. forcing a dialogue on things the powers that be would rather be (re)introduced to the American public. But these ideas are growing in the minds of an increasing amount of Americans from all parties, all races and all ideologies.
The very same radical ideas we had in 1876 in Philidelphia. The Plutocracy thought they were pretty radical then to.
