Government

Ron Paul‘s Lesson on the Benefits of Freedom Stuns ’Morning Joe’ Panel

During an early morning interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Ron Paul tried to educate the Mika Brzezinski-led panel on American freedom vs dependence on government. “Morning Joe” regular panel member Mike Barnicle chimed in, asking Mr. Paul a curious question:

“Do you feel, in speaking to this next generation that you just spoke of, any obligation to talk to them, perhaps instruct them about the fact that there has been a social contract among Americans from one generation to another to help those that need help the most?”

The Congressman and perennial Presidential candidate delivered a clear and concise reply that started with his shooting down Barnicle’s alleged “fact” about a social contract. (There is no such thing in our Constitution.)

And then, the interview took on a more confrontational tone as another MSNBC regular, Sam Stein of the Huffington Post asked Ron Paul if and why he takes Social Security checks. Mr. Paul answered by educating Stein that there is a difference between something like Food Stamps and Social Security.

Watch the exchange, including Brzezinski’s abrupt ending of the segment:

    Kid Charlemagne is right. Maybe you can help me find what Ben Franklin said exactly; but it goes like this– When the public masses can vote themselves money from the treasury; then the Republic is lost. With 47% of Americans on food stamps or Social Security; We are approaching what Ben Franklin was warning us about!!

    Why do you think this “executive order” to not deport is about? Why does the Homeland Security order 2,000,000 rds of hollow point ( not typically used for target practice) for the National Army Obama proposed in 2008? Follow Beck my friend; God is showing him the path. If you don’t have {Cowards by Glenn Beck} yet- GET IT! and pass it on to your doubting friends. I know I get it all the time- Beck is a true capitalist; but he does present a true message that anyone can ignore at their own peril. I truly believe that he has pledged his fortune to this cause.

    We are witnessing the repeat of history. Only 4 of 10 colonial americans supported the revolution.
    WE WON BY GOD’S GRACE!!

    Rush is on the same chapter, but Beck gives you the pages too.

      This is one of the best quotes from Benjamin Franklin…

      Quotes from the Founding Fathers

      “Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin

      “… God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty…. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

      The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.” – Patrick Henry

      “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.” – Thomas Jefferson

      “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” George Washington

      “If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained _ we must fight!” – Patrick Henry

      “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death” – Patrick Henry

      “A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves … and include all men capable of bearing arms.” – Richard Henry Lee

      I heard it was fast approaching 50% that get all their taxes back or more. Did you know if you have a part time job and pay ANY taxes and have children that you can get back THOUSANDS more than you paid in? You have the child credit, earned income credit, etc. They should give you credits up to the amount you put in, and that’s it. I‘m not against if you’re poverty level but you had a job, that you get the taxes back at the end of the year. But if you paid $2,000 in taxes, but get back $8,000 at the end of the year because you don’t know what birth control is? You should only get back your $2,000. If you’re poverty level or below you already get free health care (on my back), free food, and even free money. You really think that money at the end of the year pays their bills? It buys video games for the kids, nice shoes for momma, or weaves or nail jobs or whatever. Don’t stimulate the economy with my tax dollars.

      I am reminded of an address that little Tommy Jefferson made to his classmates one day at recess when some red-headed kid smarted off that he kinda’ liked King Charles: “From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.” Everybody stood there and thought about that for a moment and then they went in for Latin class.

      The quote is actually from Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America”: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

      A democracy can survive only so long as the pubic does nor realize they can vote themselves largeness from the public treasury.

      I believe this came from a Greek citizen over 2000 years ago.

      It is the reason we have 3 separate but equal branches of government. Our current status exists because so many presidents have failed so miserably to provide adult leadership of Congress.

      Government is never the solution. It is always the problem. That is why our Founding Fathers left us with a Constitution where government is supposed to have a small set of limited powers.

      Democray was never mentioned in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or Declaration of Independence.

      The Founding Fathers Hated Democracy and thought it was the worst form of government there was.

      They also realized it is a necessary evil and must have limits.

      The limits are very simple to understand.

      Democracy DOES NOT apply when it comes to a decision regarding my Constitutional Rights.

      I am a Ron Paul supporter, county coordinator for his campaign and a WA state delegate for him. I am actually disappointed that he is on Social Security. If you hold a philosophy that you do not support involuntary social contracts, how can you justify taking from the very thing that you do not support.

      I have no choice to pay into social security, unemployment but I sure as hell will not take any money out of these forced distributions. I also refuse to take a penny more than was taken from me on my income tax return. Would Mr. Paul also take a farm subsidy on property taxes or a senior exemption for property taxes?

      If you have a philosophy, then live by it dammit. The basis of a philosophy is consistency.

Face it, we only get to vote on who they tell us we can vote on so that nothing ever changes. Obama nor the establisment Republicans could have handled an intelligent conservative black man in the running. The conservative blacks would have voted for Cain just because he’s black, and maybe some of the “don’t care” blacks just because he was black, not knowing/caring what his policies were. That’s fine. We’ve voted on personalities before. I heard one black conservative admit he would have voted for Obama had he been Mexican, just because he’s a minority, but he’ll be voting for Romney this time because he sees what O is all about.

      For the last 50 the presidents have been sucking in the power of the federal government to the point that we are in now, nearly a dictatorship. The only person who would return the rightful powers back to the congress is Ron Paul. This administration has appointed UN advisors to help it, through regulation, comply with the UN treaties we signed onto to years ago. If you think Romney will be any different you are kidding yourself.

      I do my homework before spouting off – you should do the same. To continue saying the things you do is pure madness. You obviously know nothing about his campaign. There is a difference between trying to become president and running a campaign.

      Just because Ron Paul knows he will not be the nominee, does not mean he has nothing else to do. He continues to campaign because there is a tremendous amont of work to do in the Republican party. You only recognize the power hungry politicians so i know this is strange to you. It is because of people like you that Ron Paul’s campaign has sooo much work to do in the party. At the end of the day, he is trying to make it a better party so people like soybomb can actually vote for their nominees

      As of 2009 the maximum you were allowed to have deducted in SSI was $106,800 LIFETIME. Once you hit that you stop paying into it.

      As of 2009 the maximum amount you were allowed to pay into it per paycheck was 6.2% (your employer also pays 6.2%).

      There is also a yearly max which I could not find a valid site for…but I know when I got my yearly bonus of $25k or so in May, it usually put me over the top and I stopped seeing deductions for the rest of the year.

      If I was 69 right now I would be getting $2,700.00 a month in SS according to the last mailout I got from them. That is $32,400 a year. Divide that into $106,800 and see how many years on SS you would have to be to get your money back…then check RP’s age. I already did…he is 76.

      This takes you back to the tired arguement about how you’d have a lot more than that $106K if you had been able to invest it yourself…excuse me? Live until 90 on $32k a year in SS that you started receiving 21 years earlier…that comes to $692K. That is a pretty decent return on $106K.

      Oh yes… The tired argument… Lets see… If the compounding term is annually, then yes, over 21 years a return of 692K with an investment of 106K, is an interest of ~ 9.3%. That is a good interest rate… Oh, but wait, most private investments have a compounding term of semi-annual… With a semi-annual compounding term, over 21 years with 106K investment and 692K return yields an interest rate of ~ 4.5%… Not so good…

      With the correct portfolio (ag/land, metals/metal miners, currencies, bonds, T-bills, domestic and international stock), one could easily obtain ~ 10% interest… But, for arguments sake, lets go to the low end and say it would yield 8%… 8% interest, semi-annually compounded, over 21 years yields ~ 2.69 million… Yes… Such a “tired” argument… Those that want S.S. to be public and not private are those that are to LAZY to do their due diligence researching investment opportunities…

      And this does not address the problem of the difference between 692K and 106K… That money is supplied by others paying in to the system… Can you say Ponzi scheme?

    The Government spent our S.S. money on other things. It’s a Government controlled savings account, that was suppose to have been there for us when we retire. It was not to have been used for other purposes, but it was. Now S.S. is nearly broke.

    I think she was right about it “not making sense”…on my paychecks, SSI deductions stop part way through the year because, by then, I’ve paid the max that is called for.

    Not to mention, what you will receive in less than 2 years collecting social security, will pay you back for every penny you’ve ever put into it. The argument that if you had kept that same amount you actually paid into it and invested it you would be set for life without need of goverment assistance…is a laughable joke. Either you (we) would have spent –as we do everything else we make– every penny of it on crap, or the amount upon retirement would be almost nothing…unless you are a wizkid of Wallstreet…because it is just that little that you pay into the program.

      Not sure how you figure things but I doubt that I will ever get back the 12.4% of my salary I paid in. Remember, your employer (or as in my case if you are self employed) must contribute the same amount you do. Over the 50 years I have paid into the system, I could have amassed a very tidy retirement if I had been able to keep my forced contributions and invested them instead of the paltry sum I will now receiver from the government. I supposed you learned from government schools and do not realize the true cost of hiring someone when you have to include the matching employer contributions for SSN and Medicare and Unemployment.

According to Wikipedia, the average lifespan in the US is 78 years old…so for almost 6 years you are living off of what others have paid into it who are not able to go on it yet. I think 78 is rather conservative tought…most of my “oldtimer” relatives are in their mid to late 80′s.

      Bottom line? If people no longer had to pay into it and were allowed to open an IRA or something else, then you would get ZERO from age 73 to 78…and beyond. Or everyones taxes would go through the roof for the government to subsidize it.

      SSI has been a BAD idea from the getgo. The only way to fix it now is to abolish it and tell all those retiring that their money is gone and they are on their own…and tell those that are still working that they no longer have to pay into it, but when their time comes they better damn well be prepared to take care of themselves.

      None of what you said is even remotely true. You don’t have to be a sophisticated investor to save for YOUR retirement. You are just wrong. People do it every day. My parents did it and I am doing it. My neighbors are doing it as well. Chances are someone in your family is saving and planning for their retirement as well. But you go ahead and count on ss being there for you when or if you retire. Don‘t let it keep you awake at night thinking about how 1 worker will be able to take care of 5 retiree’s or when the ratio is at 1 to 20. Oh that will work out just fine.

    “If Congress can apply money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may establish teachers in every State, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public Treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads. In short, every thing, from the highest object of State legislation, down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.”

    -James Madison, House of Representatives, February 1792

    I think Ron Paul is the most consistent Constitutionalist that is part of the mainstream political mechanism that we have today. However, he is wrong in taking the social security when he doesn’t need it financially, when he could set an example for many others to follow. I recently told my parents (85/79), with only $350/month income from a lousy union pension that my dad paid in for 40 yrs, that their great WW2 generation should set the example by giving up social security and let their children provide for them in their “old age”. Unfortunately,like Paul, they feel they paid in, so the “earned” it. But it is even more unfortunate that if we don’t do something to change that attitude, the US that we alll have known is doomed – it is the single largest threat to our country, with the FED and the Corporate/Government corruption that created it and continues today in a close second place.

    Vote with your dollars and your feet; don’t try to maintain the status quo and the path we are on, as there is a cliff ahead. Open your eyes, and bond with those like minded people, get off the train and we shall overcome.

I have been posting about the lawsuit brought against the RNC but nobody seems to be interested in that, as though they do not believe me or something. Lawyers for Ron Paul have taken over the Paul campaign without asking, I might add. This lawsuit, although called frivolous by the RNC, looks viable to me. It is in the 9th circuit which Romney, Gingrich and Santorum slammed during the debates. I am not sure what is going to happen, but it very well could unbind all the delegates on the first round in Tampa, now that would be something, it would change the way we do elections from now going forward.

Do you think there would be enough folks to support him in the chaos that would follow? What about all those folks whoe voted for Romney/others? Do yo think they will take kindly to losing their candidate to a lawsuit? I know you like to talk about delegates, but there is no disputing the fact that Romney got the vast majority of votes over RP. At any rate, Would RP have enough time to even campaign before the election? What about funds? RP didn’t have enough to keep on campaigning much less go up against obama. Wake up man! Four more years of obama will decimate this country to the point you won’t be able to pick up the pieces. RP’s role in this country is not over, he will be appointed to a cabinet position or continue contributing as a congressman. Romney’s not perfect but he will get us started on the right track, along with a conservative congress. Really, that whole lawsuit thing is such a loser.

We have taken over many GOP positions in many states so far and we will continue to do so. Our first objective is to get Paul nominated after the lawsuit unbinds the delegates. If that does not work, we will write Pauls name in so as not to have a progressive Republican POTUS for eight years and we can try again with another Liberty candidate in four and finish taking over the GOP.

      Neo, One other thing you should know, Ron Paul supporters ARE the Tea Party. The Tea Party is not the co-opted neocons that say they are Tea! It is Romney forces that have been violent, not Paul supporters, take a look at this video about the lawsuit that will expose the RNC, GOP and Romney campaign of election fraud, coercion, brutality to the point of breaking bones, etc…

      Suits and charges on RICO statutes will be next. If convicted on RICO, some could face life.

      Just FYI…not even close to accurate in my neck of the woods. The understanding here is that the splinter to a 3rd party gained no traction so Paul supporters back tracked by co-opting TEA to move fiscally right in the GOP. A LARGE % of both GOP and TEA believe Pauls views on foreign affairs and national security are suspect.

      I agree with the need to rid the rino’s and it is happening every election.

      InLightofTHings, Not sure where you are from, but wherever it is, you are all being misinfrmed.Ron Paul planted the seeds of the Tea Party in Dec. 2007. Wtch this video and maybe you can pass it on to all the misinformed in your area. http://teapartyeconomist.com/2012/05/03/the-orogin-of-the-tea-party-movement/

      Ashes,I try to get all important videos on The Blaze as I can for Paul supporters. I really do not care about all the NEOCONS or Fox Sheeple, as they are just those type of people who would crap their pants if some star walked by them, buckling at the knees as they think all stars are gods,

      “On December 16, 1773, American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest an oppressive tax. This December 16th American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive inflation tax.

      Please join us this December 16, 2007 for the largest one-day political donation event in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $100 each, creating a one day donation total of $10,000,000.”

      InLight, So Pauls foreign policy scares you guys? You just want the government to continue sending yours, mine and everyone elses money overseas to dictators and comunists? You want our young soldiers to continue to be in harms way every single day so they have the chance to come home minus limbs or in a casket? You want to leave our borders less secure while our troops guard foreign borders to protect foreign oil interests? You think that Iran is a real threat to us, or is your loyalty to Isreal? You are against the Constitution and only going to war when war is declared by the people, or are your loyalties to the U.N. and NATO?

      “I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.” – Ron Paul

      “We must only send our men and women to fight for our country when the mission is clear, every necessary tool needed to win is provided, and we respect the Constitution by declaring war.”
      - Ron Paul

      Unbelievable, I tried twenty times over and over again to post my reply above. The Blaze blocked it everytime. They have blocked every attempt of mine since I started posting when I would put in Ron Pauls quote from his statement of faith where he talks about binding the government, the last quote above, so I had to take that part of the quote out in order for them to post it. Why? any answers from anyone? Go here to read Pauls entire statement of faith: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/statement-of-faith/

      WCP:
      To be clear there are no “you guys” with me. Not to be confused with ITSJUSTTIM…but it’s just me observing and speaking for myself.

      Your questions, with due respect are somewhat rhetorical at least for the moment. I will say this…I’ve been vilified here for not jumping on the Paul train. I’m on record saying 3-4 elections cycles for real results toward a constitutional republic and was called a fool since we only have months, perhaps a few years before we implode. Paul is the only savior…

      I’ve been called unprincipled, a progressive, a hack, liberal, troll, ignorant, stupid, uninformed and on and on.

      What I will not do in November is willingly turn over the next 2-4 SCOTUS appointments that I know will result in more Kagans and Sotomayors; the math gets no simpler which means 2/3 of the 3 co-equal branches are controlled by the FAR left – POTUS and SCOTUS. Call it the NWO, big banks, big money, establishment or whatever you want but I don’t think Paul can win. It doesn‘t mean I support NWO but it means I know they can’t be beaten this go round. Your points are valid and you present good information. You, SOY, ANGRY, the GOP, me, we’ve all had 4+ years to find the right candidate and here we are.

      I’ll elaborate some other time but I am only working to figure out how the Paul / TEA / Conservative movement failed to produce their “ideal” nominee. I see plenty of conflicting messages and the discovery process has been interesting

      Statement of Faith
      “I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.”
      -Ron Paul
      My faith is a deeply private issue to me, and I don’t speak on it in great detail during my speeches because I want to avoid any appearance of exploiting it for political gain. Let me be very clear here: I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.
      It is God Who gave us life. As He is free, so are those He created in His image. Our rights to life and liberty are inalienable.
      I’m running for President of the United States because I believe that our traditions and way of life are under attack from an out-of-control federal government and reckless politicians who show no regard for what our Founders entrusted to our protection.
      America became the greatest nation in human history because a dedicated band of Patriots believed their God-given rights were worth fighting for, even if it meant challenging the world’s most powerful nation in what many deemed a “hopeless” cause.
      Being free meant so much to our forefathers that they put everything on the line – and thousands sacrificed their lives – to give the promise of liberty to not only their children and grandchildren, but to generations they knew they would never even meet.

      Part 2 Statement of Faith
      Their courage and determination guaranteed they would defy the odds and achieve victory.
      In this critical election, you and I must decide if the principles of limited government and personal freedom are worth fighting for once again.
      Since I’m asking for your vote and your trust to lead this nation, let me tell you a little bit about my background and beliefs.
      My parents raised my four brothers and me on a dairy near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they set clear examples for each of us about faith, honest living, and individual responsibility. Their Christian values helped inspire two of my brothers to eventually enter the ministry, and provided me with the foundation I needed to practice medicine and one day become a U.S. Representative.
      In addition to my time in Congress, I am proud to have delivered over 4,000 babies as a country doctor in Texas. As I trained to practice medicine, I became convinced without a doubt that life begins at the moment of conception. I never performed an abortion, and I never once found an abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. In fact, I successfully helped women struggling with their pregnancies to seek other options, including adoption.
      I am running to Restore America Now, and by that I mean that it’s time to protect and promote the basic God-given rights inherent in the promise of America.

      Gary Johnson is clueless about the problems with our monetary system and the banks. Check out Bill Still‘s video on Johnson’s insane comments about how the robo-signing mortgage forclosures and the banks committed no crimes.

      Ron Paul speaks the truth with the conviction of a true statesman. He walks the walk while others merely talk the talk while they diminish our liberties and grow government.
