How does Ron Paul feel about Super Pacs and the 2010 Supreme Court decision to allow corporations, unions and individuals the right to donate unlimited funds to outside groups to campaign for or against candidates.
I'm sorry where in the constitution does it say "Super Pacs"..I find it hard to believe the Founding fathers would agree that money should influence elections..Obviously Ron Paul would follow the constitution and allow super pacs.
If you won the lottery right now, would you perhaps campaign for or against a politician? Let us say you really believe Ron Paul fucks turtles and hates black people. Wouldn't you want to do your best to try and keep him from winning? So you decide, IM GOING TO HELP OUT! So you take a million of your 150 million dollar win. (75 after being raped by taxes) and you go oh yea, Im going to cause a stir. BUT WAIT. You can't, you are federally limited in how you are allowed to spend your money.
Ron Paul and you might not agree - but he would still want you to be allowed to represent yourself using your money. It is YOUR money after all. There is no reason why I should not be allowed to spend all the money I want supporting a candidate.
Whether it is a business or a person - why would they not be allowed to spend money in support or opposition of any law or politician? Not supporting a private individual or businesses right to spend their own money promoting their ideas is the same thing as being against free speech. The government should of never been allowed to limit it to begin with.
Didn't they all use their wealth to help them get elected?.I find it hard to believe the Founding fathers would agree that money should influence elections..

If he is following the Constitution by interpreting the ideals of the founding fathers he would be anti-corporation:
I don't know what the founding fathers would think about the workers unions.
Where in the Constitution does it say anything about the Federal Reserve, income tax, foreign aid, ObamaCare, bailing out banksters, bailing out ANYBODY, competition stifling regulations, continually adding to the debt without a repayment plan, invading sovereign nations for no good reason, stationing troops in over 140 countries or taking from some to give to another?
I pretty much agree with you snyc0s...I do feel they would have tolerated the unions as long as they are for the people, but as we know SOME unions have become greedy and act more like management..some not all...!!!
don't think he can provide one that why I just ignored him...I was really curious as to why Ron Paul did not speak out on this one.. I don't think corporations should control elections...money should not control elections...you see how Romney just made an easy 1,000,000 bucks and this guy really didn't have to report who or where it came from...What if China create a company and donated 50,000,000 bucks to a candidate is that right..well it can be done now and we would never know

founding fathers would have said hell no to this BS today, but you say what you must..hurts your guy more then mine..Romney vs Obama 2012Basically, anything not specifically outlawed in the constitution is legal - or at least it isn't within the federal governments power to outlaw. Any power not specifically given to the federal government is given to the states and the people.
Would the founding fathers have decided that someone could not print ads in the newspapers of the day to promote themselves or a candidate? Would the founding fathers have decided that you could not spend your money in whatever way you chose?

Those quotes don't go against what Ron Paul stands for. The first one is a condemnation of the Federal Reserve. The second one was in reference to the monopolies that were contracted by the English crown. He wasn't referring to corporations as we know them.
