Why Our Current Brand of �Capitalism� is Inconsistent with Freedom

jeremy.ashton@gmail.com — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:00:00 +0100

Great article by Mike Wilson discussing why the modern form of "capitalism" is not the free market.

"The system of corporate life is a new power for which our language contains no name. We have no word to express government by moneyed corporations." -Charles Francis Adams

Equal opportunity is the bedrock of freedom. This nation was established to preserve, protect, and ensure that opportunity. The United States (and the world) will need to make a very impo [...]

Mitt Romney states "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"

Apparently even Mitt Romney has come out against the fascist idea of government bailing out the automakers - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html?_r=1. Too bad he didn't apply these same principles to farm subsidies during his presidential campaign. Also, why was he so quiet when the Powers That Be decided to bailout the financial industry?

I'm sure he has very good, non-political reasons for applying the principles of the free market [...]

National Delegate for Ron Paul

jeremy.ashton@gmail.com — Mon, 05 May 2008 03:00:00 +0100

Saturday was my Republican District Convention (7th District of Virginia). Though the powers that be tried put much effort towards the elimination of the influence of the Ron Paul supporters, I did end up getting elected to go to the Republican National Convention as a delegate (alternate). There were 6 opens spots and only 5 non-Ron Paulians vying for the positions - so they had to let one of the 4 Ron Paul supporters in (an oversight I'm sure they won't let [...]

Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices

jeremy.ashton@gmail.com — Mon, 05 May 2008 03:00:00 +0100

Ron Paul, once again, has the answer to the plagues of our time. With gas prices inching towards $4 per gallon, many people are calling for the government to do something. Some want the government to institute price caps while others call for more government subsidization of alternate fuels (like Mitt Romney). All of these "solutions" will only increase the problems in society and the only answer is to get government out of the way. As Ron Paul states & [...]

Food rationing in America?

jeremy.ashton@gmail.com — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:00:00 +0100

Has food rationing come to America? According to a recent report from California, the answer may be in the affirmative.

"Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing. Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply."
