Your Taxes Subsidize China

by Ron Paul

But in the meantime let’s stop sending tax dollars to support a government we claim to despise.

 

Ron Paul is, in my opinion, the most honorable statesman known by me. I do not agree with his opinions. The above article is almost completely wrong in my view. I'm not sitting in an office in Washington.

I do not send tax dollars to support any government. If wealth transfers from my earnings to anyone without my expressed permission, then, that wealth is stolen from me. What the thief’s do with that wealth is neither my choice nor my responsibility. My responsibility ends when the wealth leaves my control. I can try harder to reduce the flow of wealth from my earnings to the thieves.

I'm all for reducing and severing the flow of involuntary tax dollars going from anyone to anyone else anywhere on the planet.

Here is a few links on China that may enlighten the reader as to my contentions concerning Ron Paul’s opinions:

I picked the above thread as a starting point for anyone to begin informing themselves on the subject of China. The forum is a good place to start; in my opinion.

http://thechinadesk.tripod.com/index.htm

Above is a one way source (read only) that was once two way (interactive). It is an excellent source for reasonable commentary on the subject of China.

http://atimes.com/atimes/others/trade-war.html

Above is cause for concern. Read Ron Paul's "sound bite" and read, at least, Chapter one and two of The Coming Trade War by Henry C K Liu, then, tell me which perspective is more accurate; please.

Above is intended to convey information with humor. It is effective. Please note the reference to China.

Back to Ron Paul:

 Economic freedom, i.e. capitalism, now has a strong foothold in China.

Capitalism is a term. Capitalism does absolutely nothing whatsoever. Capitalism is not strong. Capitalism doesn’t hold or let go of anything. Capitalism has no foot to hold. People are economically free or they are not economically free and capitalism has nothing to do with those facts. 

If the Congressman must pay off political debts with his advertisement campaign (false advertising) and promotion of specific Capitalists (actual people who have purchased Ron Paul’s voluntary cooperation), then, Ron Paul is being less than accurate with his use of the term Capitalism. Why not simply name the Capitalists that Ron Paul owes the favor to?

The answer is clear.

Above are two links on the topic of Economics and what is obviously: Capitalism. Dare anyone call a spade a spade in this day and age? Apparently the answer is YES. Those who understand the necessity of intellectual freedom speak the truth without fear of being wrong or suffering punishment.  What is true is self-evident.

The risk is worth the potential benefit. The Emperor is NAKED.
