Anyone read it yet? What do you think about it?

Reviews about it seems extremely positive.

Read it. Good points.

It is something every voter should read before he/she votes because no matter which side you are on you can see the truth in his discussion of the major problems currently on the table.

However, as it is basically a factual discussion it will not get read.

People aren't interested in how to deal with the national debt's drag on the economy and the danger such a debt places on our society. They're interested in really important stuff like how Palin allowed her 17 Y.O. daughter to get pregnant.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

He has a few good points but is a loon on some as well. Pretty much like any other off beat politician

ron paul is swinging a skinned cat at a peta convention with his book... but the jest of one part of his argument is pretty simple.

inflation is a tax... and when you inflate and abuse the world's reserve currency to tax the rest of the world to live above your means... you're a global socialist. :rofl

I agree with you. Very much so...and it is too bad people are not interested in different opinions and views on current problems....

I'm slowly working on his book and agreeing on majority of presented issues.
