15. Anyone who posts a Milton Friedman video to tell me why my positions on economics suck . . .

. . . LOSES.

"Strengthening the already strong" is a FAIL. It's BEEN a failure for 32 years!!

That dead coot and his policies are the reason we're IN this fucking mess. Spending . . . get the hell . . . the problem is a two-fold problem:

1. An INCOME problem regarding the poor/middle/working classes (no income to keep up with the rising cost of living means going into debt to afford anything).

2. A taxation/revenue problem regarding the wealthy (they want to have their costly wars and enhance their already-inflated coffers on our backs).

Ron Paul is an economic Darwinist. He would make shit infinitely worse. Pro-corporate economics will lead to further Banksterism. Child, PLEASE.

Here's another thing that angers me about Paulbots: they talk to everyone else as if they were stupid while wanting to continue the most idiotic economic positions known to mankind and remaining really delusional about the supposed "soshulism" anyone to the left of Joe Lieberman supposedly practices. You want to talk to me about Uncle Milty . . . wake up and get smarter, kids. Whoever told you that this is a "Free Market meritocracy" and poor people are that way because they're lazy isn't your friend and is just a Klansman without his hood.
