I have started feeling the hopelessness in this nation shortly after Obama started making changes to destroy this nation and kiss the behinds of all of the dictators of the world. Holder's every action undermines or wipes out values and laws that have served this great nation well.
The democrats want to spend this nation into universal poverty!

Sorry to inform you, but the bob.bob of OH hit it on the head. Ronald Reagan and his worthless administration was the beginning of the end of the middle class. America has not now or ever been a true "free market." If it was, there would never have been subsidies for farmers, oil/gas companies, etc. As for the gold standard. What a laugh! There was a good reason to go off it in the first place.
Ron Paul hates the little people just like Ronald Reagan, but you just can't see it for the rose colored glasses that you and your ilk wear!

Maybe some leader will put us back on the right track, though Washington seems to be a race to the bottom.

We have abandoned all free market principles. Horrifying regulatory interest-rate policy by the Federal Reserve over the last couple of decades, the abandonment of the gold standard, Congressional subsidies like the ones championed by Frank and Dodd, as well as the unethical greedy practices at our financial institutions coupled with the common man's inability to understand his/her basic finances has led up to the cliff edge. thebob.bob of OH spews partisan nonsense. Our destruction has been achieved by both parties. A few however have spoken the truth. Ron Paul is one of them.

The modern American Dream began with the decent wages won by unionized workers and started to die when the radical rightwing anti-union, anti-tax,anti-government ideology of Ronald Reagan began to take hold in America.
Republicans destroyed the American dream and returned the majority of American workers to serfdom under the control of RepubliCorps.
Fear, Hatred, Distortion, Distraction and Division is all Republicans have to offer America.
