Yes, how dare you accuse me of lying.
I make less than minimum wage because I work an average of 80-90 hours a week for the salary. They don't give a # how much you make per hour, just how much you make per year.

90 hours a week, at $8.00 per hour (this is above min. wage), for 52 weeks....$37,440. If you are saying this is what you take home after being taxed at 40%...that means you had a federal taxable income of $62,400 before any deductions/credits. And that doesn't bring you near the highest tax brackets (not to mention there is no 40% tax bracket).
You are either lying about making the equivalent of less than min. wage per hour, or you are lying about being taxed at 40%....or you are talking state+federal+SSI+Unemployment taxes...which is still being dishonest in what you are trying to portray....because Ron Paul would only shift the highest tax burden from federal to state...and you would most likely end up paying more in taxes because most states take in more than they pay out in taxes.
11 flags and 7 pages of replies.....and this makes the front page of abovetopsecret.com? So just what are the "real" requirements to be sticked on the front page on this propaganda website?
The way I see it Ron Paul is the only person that has a chance of fixing this country. If I can't vote for him then I will not be voting for anyone at all.
The obvious solution – stop voting for the lesser of two evils.
I stopped voting for the lesser of evils years ago. When I go to a polling place to vote it is with hope for the good people that I will vote for. I vote Libertarian.
The Libertarian party will have an excellent candidate for President this year. The odds-on favorite to get the nomination is Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico. In my humble opinion, he and the rest of the potential Libertarian nominees are right on track with Ron Paul, if not more so.
So, stop doing the lesser wrong of wrong things; and start doing the right thing. Libertarian.
Disclaimer - I'm chairman of a state Libertarian party.

If Ron Paul isn't the GOP candidate I will not vote, period. He is the only candidate that even has an inkling of what the masses of our society need to progress. Also he Is the only candidate which even speaks of the Fed. Reserve.
I believe if he doesn't win we can guarantee a revoulution in the next ten years.
Also you shouldn't bash those who smoke grass, it's the majority of the generation that just gained their right to vote, the GOP shouldn't alienate our generation because that would be a death blow to a dying party.
