how could they consider electing a team with Ron Paul as the possible VP is beyond me.the biggest hypocrite this century ---- http://my.firedoglake.com/iflizwerequeen/2012/01/01/ron-paul-may-be-the-biggest-hypocrite-in-washington-dc/
No man or woman who makes money off Wall Street investments can be said to represent the 99% of the USA. That is exactly where the line should be drawn with all 99% Americans. Wall Street investors have no business sitting in Congress and claiming to represent the majority of the people in the USA. And that includes Ron Paul!
Ron Paul increased his wealth from $3,930,000 in 2008 to $5,064,000 in 2009 – over a million dollars richer. Yep, Ron Paul made over a million bucks in the Wall Street Casino at a time when millions of Americans were losing their jobs and homes. Ron Paul is no different from any other greedy millionaire Wall Street shyster that we have “representing” us in Congress.
Mr. Paul, a millionaire five times over, has several million of his assets invested in numerous mining corporations including three of the worst mining corporations in the world: One of them is Anglogold Ashanti Ltd in which Paul has invested $250,001 to $500,000. According to Forbes, AngloGold Ashanti was accused in 2007 in Colombia for “murders of trade union and community leaders who opposed the company’s activities in the region”. Paul is invested other other mining companies with reputations just as tawdry. The mining industry is known worldwide for its extreme abuse of its workers–up to and including deliberate murder. Ron Paul is just as evil and vile as the rest of them. In fact, Ron Paul is has just bout 95% of all his millions of dollars tied up in investment in mining companies all over the world–no surprise since Paul lobbies hard for the gold standard.
__________________________________________________ Ironic that Ron Paul would be criticizing the War on Drugs and the “Free” trade agreements since he makes money from both. Ron Paul is the ultimate hypocrite.
