If this is true, then capitalism is a disease which will end up killing the patient. Which goes back to why I would rather take my chances with "crazy" Ron Paul and his free market of currencies, end all wars, reduce federal spending positions instead of having to always keep taxpayer funds on hand to bail out banks who invested too heavily in scam mortgages.
What's surprising is how little you know about the person you're advocating for. You stated in an earlier post that Alan Greenspan was a failure when dismissing the importance of him being an Ayn Rand acolyte. The man who you are advocating for named his own son after Rand so, for s sake, what makes you think his policies would be any different than Greenspan's?
The more I read from you, the more it's clear that you just do not even begin to understand what you're talking about.
EDIT: I struck through the part of my post which turned out to be complete bull but there's still no refuting the link between Paul, Greenspan, and Rand.

Eddie, thats the case with any Ron Paul supporter. Its amazing how many kids he gets on his boat and they have no idea that they are supporting someone who is so ultra ing conservative that he will never win even in the republican party.

That is not true.

Why quote Wikipedia, when he says it, himself, here? Regardless of my belief in what amounts now, to an urban myth, he still cops to being a fan of hers. The coincidence of his name does nothing to dispel the association between him, his father, their policies, Alan Greenspan, and Ayn Rand.
