Termyn8or -> RE: Why I won't vote for Ron Paul (9/12/2007 11:19:09 PM)

Where does the Constitution say you get medical ?
Your arguments, as valid as may be, do not sway me one bit. We need Ron Paul for alot more important things than that. You just don't realize how bad it is. With China holding a significant muscle pertaining to our foreign policy because of the huge amount of our debt they hold, they have already had words with the US.
What happened was is that the US pressured China to unlock the currency values, China responded by saying that if that happens we might get rid of these dollars. Now we have Israel and China vying for control of US policy ? This is where the rest of them got us, and this is a bigger issue than healthcare, because it will destroy our ability to provide healthcare at all, public or private.
The thing is people do not think ahead. Read the thread "Next time you hear a politician talk ......" the rest of that is billion. The point of it was the government spends a billion dollars every 8 hours and 20 minutes. But as I pointed out, spead out over the three hundred million of us, that is like $9 a day. Now there are a hell of alot of people paying more than that. That other money goes to pay interest. We have this huge credit card, no limit, except for one thing, they get interest. Now the interest alone is killing us.
If I were Ron Paul, as President I would go to China. I would convince their government that they need to pay the workers more. Reward the workers. Build factories there that pay good money, maybe not as good as here used to but start the trend. You start that cycle there and it will raise the cost of their goods here naturally.
This is the moral way to do it. Even if the US government would be allowed to build a couple of factories there, NOT military bases, they could pay well and flood the local economy with a bit more Yuan. If the trend moves forward, skilled workers will be in more demand, and will have some say in where they work, like I do and I am sure many other as well here.
Fact is, here, if you work at MsD's you probably don't have the time to go to school or look for a better job. I know a Woman from China who works 14 hours a day, 7 days a week just to pay for her trip here. I would suspect she is under the table, but I can't say for sure. Even if you have a daytime factory job for $8 an hour, you can't take the time off for anything because you can't spare a dime.
This fits the definition of serfdom, which is what we all have come under.
Ron Paul is the only candidate whom I can be sure does not think like this. In my opinion, he is the best choice. I do not agree with all of his beliefs, I disagree with quite a few. But he is still the best choice, here and now.
If we don't get a guy like Paul, we will go down the same path, and I mean DOWN. Look at the big picture and you can see it, democrats are neo-cons too. They are all the same. They are elite, and elitists. Ron Paul is not an elitist.
In closing, there are bigger fish to fry so to speak that the issues you mentioned. As such you have not convinced me. Vote your conscience.
