Thread: Ron Paul Destroys Michael Moore On Larry King

I think that in regard to the main ideas the two have a lot of agreement. They differ in how they would solve the problems addressed, but they both identify the same issues. Mr. Paul has a problem with the current health care system, and so does Mr. Moore. Mr. Paul wants us out of the current war situations going on as does Mr. Moore. The differences come when you start to talk about how to accomplish these things, and that makes sense given their individual ideologies.

I am a firm believer in Capitalism, the government is screwed up and this current iteration is Communism vailed as caring Socialism, the wolf in sheep's clothing. Freedom doesn't include me having my money taken and given to those who aren't earning shit....

Ron Paul is the man. To bad not enough people pay attention or know what this man is about!

It isn't a social program any more than paying fair wages is. He doesn't have to justify it until we no longer need any government, which will never happen and can not happen.

Socialism and Communism aren't interchangeable, not even the same thing.

China for example is Capitalistic and Communist.

I find his argument very flawed in the health care debate because the tax payers and insured individuals have been paying for the poor and uninsured for some time. If you show up at the hospital with an injury they are required to fix you. Regardless of your ability to pay. If the tax payers don't pay the bill and the hospital gets stiffed, the hospital increases prices, which get passed on to insurance companies, which gets added to insurance premiums. The idea behind universal coverage is people would get their issues taken care of before it becomes a medical emergency which requires high costs hospital visits, and more costly treatments.
