note: you should not jump to simple minded assumptions. 1. See which poll was most accurate in 2008 pres race 2. See the sample sizes of those other polls. The ones which reveal their methods show an over sample of democrats by 7-11 points. my mofos are the founders... I am against income tax and most fed bureaucracies I am in favor of a very small federal govt. ( I am not in favor of single payer... I was just pointing out obama's legal and political failure. In essence he did not even make a good socialist) The fed govt can fund itself through tariffs, just like the founders set up. once all the able bodied people are told their welfare and unemployment benefits are going to decrease 1 percent a week. the jobs brought back to our shore by the tarriffs will be pretty good ones... especially since there will be no income tax. Ron Paul is right on many issues but if you watched him in the debates you could see he had no second level on these arguments. He truly disappointed me. When you combine that weakness with his belief that others will just leave us alone (even though we have been active in the Middle East) i did not buy into his program. We need someone like him... but I hate to say it... with more current depth.
Tariffs? We have no visible means of production. You're serious? I see your point though... you may have something. Hear me out. What we need is to reinvigorate the horse and buggy. I am certain we can monopolize the buggy/buggy whip market worldwide. They'll never see it coming. And vacuum tube computers.
I thought you could think in systems. No means of production... now you make spurious conclusions without checking the data. You may know options but you can't wing it here. In 2010 we were still had the largest manufacturing sector in the world. Not sure where we are now... but its still large. Plus... No income tax - incredible investment boom. Massive increase in demand. I thought you supported Ron Paul.
that's funny because I'm a ron paul supporter as well but it seems that you are attacking romney for 'corporate raiding' when i am certain RP would accept that as part of a free market. I'm not for a single payer system or any kind of federal mandate requiring an individual to purchase something, no matter who invented it. obama is basically the opposite of RP so i don't see how you could support him over Romney.
So I guess being no 1 or 2 (depending on the source) makes all that manufacturing invisible or you made a spurious conclusion.
