Why does everyone assume if you dislike Ron Paul then you are some sort of Obama lover on this site?

What if the move for a gold standard was legit, and it actually protects the rich more than it harms them because #1 it saves them from their own disaster (fiat currency), and #2 they already own a vast amount of the gold so they will stay just as rich.

I don't think I made that assumption.
I don't know. If I did I must have forgotten, but I do have a superb memory so idk...

The only thing I agree with you here is this What If.
Paul supporters forget that Ron Paul's plans are very pro-corporatism much more than the system is now. With Gold backing the currency you are absolutely right! They will get Billions under Ron Paul's plan, and you think that money's going to go back to the people?? Yeah Right! Especially when there are no "safety nets." Like social security and/or insurance? Paul's plans are corruption gone rampant.edit on 13-5-2012 by jjf3rd77 because: (no reason given)

The only way Paul's plan would work without a hitch is if the majority of citizens were responsible and educated.
Of which they are not.
So yes, it is seemingly corporatism because the people are incapable of utilizing their power to control the corporate entities through boycotts (choosing who you give your $ to).
Capitalism is for civilized societies that are capable of being fully self-responsible.
Just like they say about Communism, it looks great on paper but implementing it into the real world is rife with failure and unforeseen problems.

Hahaha,
I can't help but laugh.
One of their great myths his believers worship about Ron Paul put to bed. He is so against the Fed he would never compromise he only wants to eliminate the Fed. Then he has secret "off the record" conversations not only with the head of the Fed but at a breakfast at the Fed.
When Ron Paul endorses Mitt Romney, it will be no less shocking than what you see has happened here.
I can't wait for the excuses, will you all say the same thing as you collectively have here because it seems the die hards can only come up with "I see no problem with this" and sheeple up to this Fed meeting just fine ?edit on 13-5-2012 by TinfoilTP because: (no reason given)
