Buggernut Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think a lot of people have a very misguided view of what Ron Paul actually stands for. He's a Conservative Libertarian. Expect his to do the following: Remove virtually all taxes for the rich. He advocates a flat tax rate scheme, where everyone would pay 10% taxes. This would mean virtually no change for low income earners and a huge change for high income earners. He wants to cut the top corproate tax rate from 35% to 15%. Removal of the welfare state. He wants to privatize education, health care, social security, public funding for reasearch, etc... Repealing gun laws. He is pro-life. Pro-capital punishment. His environmental record is awful. He's stated publicly that Global Warming is not a concern. Out of curiosity's sake, which are the Ron Paul policies you guys are advocating?

Buddhas Hand Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 But what does this actually have to do with my point? No single Rothschild is rich enough to be in the list of top richest people. Their fortune has been fractured between hundreds if not thousands of members now. Some of them are good business people and some are rich playboys with zero business sense. Some Rothschilds continue to manage their banking industries, but they've all been corporated and shares of those corporations have been sold to peolpe outside the family. This guy is currently the richest member of the Rothschild family: http://en.wikipedia....ilip_Rothschild He is worth less than 1 billiion. He is worth much more than most other people in his family. You're list also confuses the wealth of the company with the wealth of the actual person. For instance, Microsoft was worth over 100 billion dollars at the time of Bill Gates death. Facebook was also valued at over 100 billion dollars. However, their founders are now worth far less. Over time shares are sold for various reasons. So while Rothschild's and Sons may be worth X amount of dollars, the actualy shares remaining in the control of the Rothschilds themselves is relatively small.

woot Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Paul has repeatedly stated that he would allow individual states to handle their own moral issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If anything it looks like your take on Ron Paul's positions are as if I watched Bill O'Reilly's "fair and balanced" take on Obama. Seriously, most of this is a joke. 10% of income tax is a great deal especially for anyone who makes over, what, $8/hour? In California alone for any single returns, ~ $70 is taken out in taxes and other normal withholdings on someone who works 40 hours at $10/hr, that's almost 20%, not even close to 10%. Just from Federal withholdings (not including state, SSI, medicare, etc.) they would take $45 from a single filer making $10/hr claiming 0 dependents. Obviously that's over your 10% claim too.

taxi Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Secrecy has been a hallmark of the Rothschilds from the outset. Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the son of an itinerant money lender and goldsmith who settled in the Jewish ghetto in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1744, specialised not just in clever accounting practices but also kept secret books and subterranean vaults which he ensured were never the privy of auditor, lawyer or taxman The most wealthy bloodline in the world bar none in the world today is the Rothschild family. The Rothschilds have obtained this position through lies, manipulation and murder. Their bloodline also extends into the Royal Families of Europe, and the following family names: Astor; Bundy; Collins; duPont; Freeman; Kennedy; Morgan; Oppenheimer; Rockefeller; Sassoon; Schiff; Taft; and Van Duyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If anyone actually cares about the news and what's going on in the world, they wouldn't get 100% of their news from American TV. You can easily change your 'informational diet' by going online and reading whatever sources you want. Unfortunately, this trend of consolidation is bad for the fat and lazy who do nothing but watch TV, which even more unfortunately seems to make up a large % of the population.

Mr. Ambien Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My criticism wasn't really directed at you. It was directed at the "conspiracy theorists". Anyways, you do realize peolpe can actually look this stuff up? Here's what the current ITR rates are in the USA: Married couple Single 10% Bracket $0 – $17,400 $0 – $8,700 15% Bracket $17,400 – $70,700 $8,700 – $35,350 25% Bracket $70,700 – $142,700 $35,350 – $85,650 28% Bracket $142,700 – $217,450 $85,650 – $178,650 33% Bracket $217,450 – $388,350 $178,650 – $388,350 35% Bracket Over $388,350 Over $388,350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
