Ron Paul: Occupy Wallstreeters and Tea Partiers are Natural Allies

Probably both camps are a little put off my this, but lo and behold!–It’s very true.  Check out Ron’s very recent (this morning) interview on Meet the Press.  See especially 12:59 onward for a wonderful discussion of the travesty of a two-party system we have in the United States.  Everyone–and by that I mean everyone who meets these conditions:  1) has a functional brain, 2) uses it honestly and doesn’t delude him/herself–from BOTH the Occupy and the Tea Party movements knows that neither Obama nor Romney would present them with real choices.  Both are whores to the corporatist establishment.  In the case of Romney, he’s been on both sides of American corporatism, and in the case of Obama, he’s been in charge of running the government half of the unholy alliance.  Both are whores to the money power of the Federal Reserve, maintaining the orthodoxy that it’s authority to manipulate the economy (the tasty side effect of which is enriching the wealthy at the expense of the poor) at will, always ready to monetize the bailout of their friendliest friends (with money stolen from all of us by the IRS).  Both are whores to the military-industrial complex, Romney vowing to continue and intensify the relationship by continuing Bush-Obama’s immoral, insane, and dangerous foreign policy, Obama vowing to deepen and extend the half-a-dozen wars his administration has either continued or began.  Neither can be trusted to do the right thing by either the Occupiers or the Tea Party, whereas ONLY someone like Ron Paul–NOT the phony Bachmann, Perry, or Cain–offers real changes that both sides can honestly say are triumphs for their movements.  If Ron Paul were to be elected, the Occupiers would have the wars finally and truly ended, civil liberties finally respected–which means ending the Drug War–the Federal Reserve’s transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich ended, and corporatism dealt the severest blow in American history.  The Tea Partiers would have a candidate who seriously slashes the budget and restores fiscal sanity, someone who gets out of the way of honest industry and lets entrepreneurs free, taxes would be slashed, and states would be empowered vis a vis the federal leviathan.  Who could complain about accomplishing so much for a single movement in a single presidential election?  In the case of Ron Paul, he could do that twice.
