Even if someone doesn't pay income tax, there are always sales taxes.

Most of the world lives on $1500 a year or less. The protesters in America that are protesting some kind of inequality between the rich and poor should take a hard look at global inequality. Americans even at the poverty level in this country are in the top 30% or so of the richest people in the world!
When I look at the protesters I see people that have never missed a meal in their lives, people that have never known real hardships, people that think the world owes them something.These are the worlds fat cats protesting because they have been minorly inconvenienced by current hard times.

The real transfer of wealth takes money out of every Americans pocket.

Its still OK for people who are "part of the 1%" to wake the f@#k up.

So if they are there arm-in-arm with the rest, that perfectly fine. It doesn't mean that you have to come from poverty in order for you to want more equality in the world.

That is exactly the point.... it is gonna take more than just the poor people figuring it out to effect some positive changes.... powerful people are going to have to step up for humanity... and wake the f@#k up.

If people in America cannot see they are privileged compared to others in the world and that leveling the playing field may mean "taking money for American's pockets".... they too need a reality check.

I live here in the US... its not like the idea having less is appealing to me.... but what is less appealing is knowing the people of the world, including me, are being victimized by a corrupt system.

I would say more than half, probably nearly most of the people do. Whether they overtly know it or not, as I did last time I voted for a fake as candidate who I had no real idea about before I elected to vote for them.

Shame on me.

You don't pay taxes, you provide NOTHING to this economy. You think you are doing something productive with your life? You think growing a few plants in your garage is hard and honest work? Again, you prove yourself incredible time and time again in your posts.

I grow bud for a living and pay pay more in taxes on every dollar earned than Warren Buffet does.

But I guess it's not a real job unless I'm sitting in a cubicle making some CEO rich off my work...

this is what its all about and why the taxes are so f'd up. We need a fair tax. Its a sales tax that eliminates all other taxes. You will take home your WHOLE paycheck!!!! The only time you will pay taxes is when you go buy something. Rich people buy alot more than the poor so they pay more taxes which is what people are complaining about to begin with. RON PAUL knows whats up. Look the guy up, he's the only one who doesn't bullshit you and answers the damn question that was asked, unlike the rest of these BS candidates.

Even as practically dozens of new people pop up on these forums demanding ron paul and axing the Marxist Soetoro, libtards will never ever ever get or understand what americans and america is all about, the libtards need to die or move to Europe i bet they would feel much more at home.

No dis intended to you or RP but, imho, he is just another R politician from the same group of phonies... you cant run with a pack of dirty dogs and claim to be flea free yourself.... Im not buying in, although just as many politicians do, RP has a few good ideas.

whatever man. He's runing republican for a better chance at election. He's the only guy i've seen in a long time that has not changed his platform. He talks about some huge changes that scare some people, but this is what we need, if things stay the same, we're on the same track to all hell breaking loose. His ideas make sense and he's been pushing them for years. If romney or obama take it in 2012, were all fucked

You know. i just thought about something.

The "huge" changes that he supports were not nearly as huge when he first began supporting them. He fought the entire time with few allies at his side. Yet ANOTHER reason to look up to the man!

dumb shit here. Everyone buys things overseas, but they don't buy everything this way. You give one example that doesn't really mean a damn thing. If a fair tax is implemented anything purchased will be taxed, no matter if it is purchased under a business name or otherwise.

glad to see someone with some sense. It's just easy to see the guy stands up for what the constitution says. If he doesn't get voted into office, it will only be a matter of time until you hear all the crap talk about how the new prez sucks and is fucking up our country. People be sure you know who you're voting for and what they stand for. it's easy to see these guys contradict themselves if you watch them. Paul will be the only one you see that is consistent.

If you think Obama is a marxist, you're an idiot. I'm not even convinced he's a democrat. Most of his policies were inventions of the republican party.

when i look at the definition of marxist i see soetoro fitting it pretty well.

Then you no nothing about either Marx or Obama. Basically, you're completely ignorant if you think Marx was advocating right of center political positions or if Obama is implementing far left policy.

when i look at tryingtogrow, i see an unemployed person pedaling his run of the mill weed for $400 an ounce while completely lacking historical perspective with respect to world events.

that was the kindest way i could say that you are nothing more than an angry little troll.

I see them every time I go to the dispensary.

I saw a car break down at a stoplight next to them today, and they came to help the guy push his car.

The riot police have already came once, and ran everyone off. But they aren't leaving. This is real, some of these people have NO other place to be, and sacrificing your life for teacher salary isn't everyone's idea of a "Job".

Here's a poem about the "End times" mindsets.
