My message is simple - freedom works a lot better than the authoritarian style of government.
Ron Paul

Income taxes are responsible for the transformation of the Federal government from one of limited powers into a vast leviathan whose tentacles reach into almost every aspect of American life.
Ron Paul

Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution says Congress has the ability to coin money and regulate the currency and doesn't say anything about gold or silver.
Ron Paul
Image
Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces.
Ron Paul
Image
We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars.
Ron Paul
Image
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
Ron Paul
Image
It is incumbent on a great nation to remain confident, if it wishes to remain free. We need not be ignorant to real threats to our safety, against which we must remain vigilant. We need only to banish to the ash heap of history the notion that we ought to be ruled by our fears and those who use them to enhance their own power.

1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.
Ron Paul

I see this piece of legislation as essentially being a declaration of virtual war. It is giving the President tremendous powers to pursue war efforts against a sovereign nation. ...I think it is another example of a flawed foreign policy that we have followed for a good many decades.
Ron Paul
Image
Under the United States Constitution, the federal government has no authority to hold states accountable for their education performance...In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.
Ron Paul
Image
Everyone assumes America must play the leading role in crafting some settlement or compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But Jefferson, Madison, and Washington explicitly warned against involving ourselves in foreign conflicts.
Ron Paul
Image
Americans are tired of the games and the lies of today's media. They want the truth. Imagine this. No censors, no barricades, no statists. We will be able to engage viewers directly on subjects that matter most to them, from finances to civil liberties to foreign policy.
Ron Paul
Image
The Fourth Amendment is clear we should be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, and all warrants must have probable cause. Today the government operates largely in secret, while seeking to know everything about our private lives - without probable cause and without a warrant.
Ron Paul
Image
I would absolutely never use the federal government to enforce the law of using marijuana
Ron Paul
Image
What we need is a strong defense, but right now there is zero chance of an invasion by another country and right now we have more firepower than all other countries put together.
Ron Paul
Image
...[the federal] government [has no authority] to deliver a service,...and there's no evidence to show that government has ever been efficient [at] delivering...service.
Ron Paul
Image
The freedom message brings us together, it doesn't divide us.
Ron Paul
Image
Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don't do to other nations what we don't want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us?
Ron Paul
Image
I believe that Israel is one of our most important friends in the world.

Unskilled and inexperienced workers are the ones most often deprived of employment opportunities by increases in the minimum wage.
