Ron Paul Rally

Ron Paul Rally

To my right, a four year-old girl held a sign as big as she was.

Behind me, an old woman sat with her daughter and her grandson, who was in his late teens. Collectively, all three generations stood and cheered in agreement.

To my left, a long-haired man in his mid-twenties, who was probably high, was captivated by the idea that he too has the right to freedom.

In front of me, a middle-aged man who was disenchanted with the way that conservatives have strayed shook his head when reminded of the propaganda that has misled the public.

With me, five college students feared that freedom would continue to diminish as government power continued to increase.

At the front of the room, Ron Paul spoke out against the evils of the Federal Reserve, the unnecessary increase in government spending, and the idea that it has become okay to go to war unjustly, as he had been doing since the late 1990s.

Together, we cheered for freedom, because freedom is the only means by which a society can correct itself. It is only through freedom that we can overcome the obstacles that the Fascist and Socialist government has given to us.

But as we stood in agreement, I couldn’t help but be saddened by the fact that for every one of us, there are ten who are misled… misled to believe that government regulation on the free market will sustain jobs and productivity… misled to believe that we were attacked by people who hate us just because they are bad people… misled to believe that Iraq and 9/11 were connected… misled to believe that the taxpayers should take care of health care and pay for people’s bills… misled to believe that life is a mother’s choice… misled to believe that more dollars in an economy means that we are growing, and misled to believe that the solution to our problems is more government.

It is a shock to me that propaganda is more popular than sound economics. It amazes me that one can come out of nowhere and win elections because of promises for change in the name of socialism. It amazes me that on can be an advocate for attacking countries that pose no threat to our security and be considered for public office. It scares me to think that one can promote artificially inflating wages and taxing the most productive people in society in order to finance a health care system that is doomed to fail.

Yet, I care too much to do nothing. This is way more than just a Ron Paul revolution; it is an awakening and resurrection of freedom. It is a recognition that each individual is free to create and responsible for his or her own actions and that we are entitled to liberty and nothing more.

I understand that this is a losing battle. I understand that the message of freedom will likely be silenced by those who want to take away national sovereignty and create the Amero… I recognize that the American public has become so ignorant and so apathetic to their economic freedoms that we will roll over and take the coming changes.

But I will never stop fighting. I will never roll over and take it. I will not surrender my civil liberties, no matter who the government tells me is a threat, and no matter what attacks are staged to scare me into submission.

I will stand against the national ID card. I will stand against the Patriot Act that would have made Hitler and Stalin envious. I will stand against the North American Union. I will stand against government regulation. I will stand against unconstitutional wars.

And although the battle will likely be won by neocons, fascists, and socialists, I care too much than to do nothing. I am a patriot and will defend my country from its government.

The Key to Success = The Key to the Free Market

As I write this, I am sitting in my Comparative Economic Systems class, and it is impossible for me to separate the study of the free market from my love for business, because the key to the free market is also the key to your success.

The only way that one can satisfy everyone’s needs is through constant exchange. That’s straight from Aristotle. To reiterate, the way to solve poverty, the way to fulfill the needs and wants of individuals is to allow for them to constantly have the opportunity to exchange. As a result, the only way to achieve a benefit for yourself is to provide a benefit for someone else.

In simplistic terms, you must give up something in order to get something. If you want to be rich, you have to provide something that is desired by the masses.

This is the key point that most internet entrepreneurs miss. Every week, I get emails from people that tell me that they need to make five thousand dollars by next week. In addition, they have chronic insomnia and can’t function during the day, so it needs to be a mindless way to make a lot of money.

This type of pipe dream of earning immediate money just doesn’t make sense, because the key to making money, the key to getting rich, is to give something up. This is the ONLY way to create a fortune. This is even true from the perspective an employee. He or she gives up time in order to get paid, and the employer gives up money for the exchange of the employee’s time. Both parties must give up something, but they create a mutual exchange that is beneficial to both.

However, on the internet, people want a quick fix. This is the classic problem of black hat marketing; it is short-sighted because no needs are filled. The power players such as Google and the large CPA networks will close the loopholes that black hatter exploit, because no one benefits but the black hatter.

Therefore, the only way to succeed is to meet the needs of others. There is no magic bullet or button that one can push and crank out a bunch of money. There is a magic formula, however: find a need, and fill it.
