Well, because he's a crackpot. After all, isn't Keynes' economic philosophy obviously right, that the way out of a recession is for the government to pay people to dig holes and then to pay them again to fill them back up?

“His Earmarks are rather strange, he justifies it by saying that he's winning back the money that was taken in taxes though if this is true it shouldn't exceede the ammount they pay in taxes, unless Ron Paul is actually calculating any potential money that is lost or taxed indirrectly from government.”

That is entirely correct. So long as you have an earmark based system, any politician who fails to see his or her share of earmarks for his/her constituents is simply rewarding those politicians who created and thrive off the corrupt system.

If Paul supported the abolition of earmarks but refused to seek his own district's share of earmarks under the current system, the technical term for him would be “blithering idiot”.

It's similar to term limits. I have heard some morons say that a politician that supports term limits should set term limits on themselves in the absence of term limits being in force. The end result is that those politicians who do not support term limits wind up proliferating while those who do support term limits become an endangered species.

Unilateral disarmament is idiocy.

Wow, you must be retiring in 1-2 years.

For most people, the concern is whether the money they save for retirement loses 90-95% of its value by the time they retire.

He seems personable enough, but I doubt that he's either interested in the Presidency (the candidates for which must be utter prostitutes) or capable of stamping up the funds necessary for such a run. The Senate in Connecticut against a truly hateful rat-sucking bankster criminal like Dodd?

Might could do it.

“Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.“

The same is true for prices, if i charge 1000 dollars for a shirt that only costs 20 to produce, which includes paying the costs of machines and workers, (With a loan, interest is charged both to incentivize the banker to make the loan and to generate revenue to cover the costs of potential loans that go bad) someone can still undercut me by charging 900, i either go out of business or charge the same or lower, so i charge 800, he is now in the same condition. The price cutting continues until it get's fairly close to about 20 dollars.

This doesn't work for all prices but for interest rates, since you can have any number of banks in a given area, it is the case.

Without a federal reserve, interest rates would fluctuate not based upon the random assumptions of a board of bankers, but by the intersubjective relations between the number of savings of individuals and the number of loans demanded for whatever reason. That kind of market relationship forms itself out of the behaviours of every single individual in society, it's the only rational and democratic way in which production and distribution can be based upon.

I dislike all politicians, though i dislike Ron paul the least of all of them. His Earmarks are rather strange, he justifies it by saying that he's winning back the money that was taken in taxes though if this is true it shouldn't exceede the ammount they pay in taxes, unless Ron Paul is actually calculating any potential money that is lost or taxed indirrectly from government. (There are other ways to tax besides simply taking people's income or charging a particular percent sales tax). Compared to other republicans, however, he pays more than lip service to the principles of an economy based purely on intersubjective relations between individuals, not the arbitrary whims of some righteous hand from above, which is what you scornfully call the evil free market.
