by Ron Paul
The characteristic mark of a tyrannical regime is that it eventually finds it necessary to erect walls to keep people from leaving. This is why we should be troubled by the “Ex-PATRIOT Act,” an egregiously offensive bill recently introduced in the Senate. Following a long line of recent legislation and regulations attempting to expropriate more and more wealth from hard-working Americans, this new bill spits in the face of overburdened taxpayers and tramples on the Constitution.
Current law already dictates that Americans with a net worth of over $2 million who expatriate must be assumed to have sold all their assets and must pay a corresponding punitive exit tax on those assumed sales. The Ex-PATRIOT Act goes even further than current law by assessing a 30% capital gains tax on all future earnings of expatriates. Not content just with this additional tax, the bill also grants the IRS the sole authority to determine whether individuals have expatriated for tax purposes and allows the IRS to bar those individuals from ever re-entering the United States. Finally, the bill blatantly violates the ex post facto provisions of the U.S. Constitution by extending all of these provisions to anyone who has given up their U.S. citizenship within the past decade.
This bill, and other similar legislation, casts a chilling effect on saving, investment, and entrepreneurial activity. The bill was introduced in response to news reports about one of the founders of Facebook who might save millions of dollars of taxes by renouncing his U.S. citizenship. But in their blind envy towards successful entrepreneurs, the bill’s sponsors ignore the fact that they will ensnare many ordinary middle-class Americans who work hard, save and invest wisely, and benefit from rising home values. These Americans may easily find themselves pushing past the $2 million mark by the time they retire, especially as inflation continues to seriously accelerate. If they wish to escape the Federal Reserve’s inflation by emigrating to lower-cost countries so their dollars will go farther, as many Baby Boomers are starting to do, the federal government will penalize them, and continue to penalize them for the rest of their lives as long as they hold any money in the United States.
Unfortunately, the mere consideration of such legislation, even before it has passed, has made American banking customers a potential future headache for banks around the world. They don’t want to deal with the IRS any more than Americans do, and if American account holders become a Trojan horse for the IRS to insinuate themselves into their affairs, there may be more cost than benefit to extending banking services to Americans.
We live under a federal government that has eviscerated our Fourth Amendment rights, that can detain U.S. citizens indefinitely based solely on the President’s word, that assaults toddlers and grandmothers at airports in the name of security, and regulates virtually every aspect of our economic lives. No wonder increasing numbers of Americans feel this government is engaged in outright warfare against its own citizens. Every day the noose grows tighter, yet anyone who sees the writing on the wall and seeks to leave must pay exorbitant taxes just for the privilege of leaving, and increasingly the possibility looms of never fully breaking away from the government’s tentacles no matter where they go. Ultimately, the Ex-PATRIOT Act proposes to control people by controlling their capital, and it has no place in a free society.

Ron Paul MUST win a 5 state delegate plurality to be seated at Tampa! This is the ONLY GOAL all of us need to concentrate at this time! (Why do you think the GOP is pulling all stops to prevent this — because, once at the RNC Convention, Ron Paul will neuter this scum! And his supporters — the Real Americans — will surround the convention in the hundreds of thousands)!
This has to be IMBEDDED IN ALL OUR MINDS — Get Ron Paul seated in Tampa! Nothing else is as important as this!
After Tampa…depending on what transpires — other options (independent) for Ron Paul may be discussed (BUT NOT NOW)!

The ONLY Fight right now to be fought is for Tampa (Ron Paul must be seated there)!
Try, all of you, to comprehend this SIGNIFICANCE!
Unless we assure a Ron Paul seating at Tampa — in order to expose nationwide and worldwide, the SCUM that has occupied our government — we’ll have a one-man-puppet-show (Rmoney “debating” himself, and winning)!

The current legislation also impacts anyone who is a US resident but not a US citizen who has worked in the US more than 5 years and meets certain criteria. In essence anyone who has relocated to the US to work should be very careful since once you have a greencard you are considered a tax citizen of the US for life irrespective of whether you intend returning to your home country. Most people are not returning to their home country to evade US taxes but for family reasons. It would be beneficial if others on these blogs actually read the tax code since any US monies have taxes withheld at the US source and people pay tax in their home country which in some cases has higher taxes. Bottom line is that any executive relocating to the US should think very carefully before doing so and not become a permanent resident.

Ron Paul delivered thousands of babies and we believe much more then reported..
He works endlessly for the children.
He loves Americas children and he loves America.
He loves us in spite of our faults and negativity.
He understands what we have been placed under.
He understands humanity.
He has true compassion and if I didnt know any better he would be a modern day SAINT.
He also knows this isnt about him.
It is about his philosophies and ideas.
Sound money, level playing field, government out of everyones business, no more undeclared wars, less spending and more saving is the American way- when it comes to our Government. He will clear the way for us to figure this out on our own and knows good and well liberty brings people together.
AND HES RIGHT.
This is what he has packaged and will forever grace American history books.

Why is the GOP Establishment willingly and publicly committing such atrocities, that are recorded and eventually will be used as proof against them in a Court of Law?
For a long time I couldn’t figure out their reasoning for such self-destructive acts — until it just crystallized out of the blue this morning.
They are NO LONGER RATIONAL — but, as a wounded and cornered Beast, they are lashing out; clawing, biting, spitting and fighting to survive.
In this mode of self-preservation, no thought of consequences is used, only the instinct for survival has kicked in!
Should Ron Paul win, their rug will be pulled! So what difference if they also get sued eventually. (Lose-lose)
Should they succeed in their desperate fight for survival, than all their atrocious actions will be taken care of by their own. (Win-win)
Therefore, expect ever increasing atrocities during the upcoming Conventions — the more desperate this Animal becomes, the more vicious its attacks will be!
What has set them off in this frenzy of rabid behavior is their FEAR that Ron Paul will get confirmed plurality in 5 states — thus guaranteeing his being seated at the Tampa Convention (and thereby sealing their end)!
We need to fight them off on all fronts — stand our ground and call them out when caught in attempting to cheat! Don’t let them intimidate you with their lies, but instead unseat them and get all proceedings recorded (live stream is Best)!
Ron Paul to WIN — Or America to END 2012!
(there are no other options)

Louisiana — How more despicable can this Corrupt State be?!
One of the cops actually by falsehood, took away a citizen’s phone as “evidence”…!
(I spent about 3 hours trying to remove the background noise to isolate this — PAY ATTENTION TO THIS EXCHANGE!)
Listen to the cop’s misinformation (an abuse of his limited powers) at the near end of this video (minute 5:50 till end at 6:15).
———————————————————–
Cop: “I need your phone as evidence…can I get your driver’s license for me, please…” — (unless a Court Ordered Subpoena is served, no officer of law is allowed to divest a person (that has not been arrested) from his property under the guise of “evidence required by the police”. Also, no cop can demand of a bystander to disclose his Identification (driver’s license in this case) FOR HIS OWN CURIOSITY (“for me”) or for any other purported reasons!)
US Citizen replies: “My driver’s license…?”
Cop: “Yeah…”
US Citizen: “You’ll take my phone…?”
Cop: “It’s evidence…correct… you were recording….”
US Citizen: noise that sounds like(“what (or nah)…”)
Cop: “You weren’t recording…? I still need your driver’s license”. (THE CITIZEN WAS NOT DRIVING A CAR — therefore, this Cop cannot demand his driver’s license (unbelievable abuse of power)! Also, IF-or-NOT the citizen was recording IS COMPLETELY OUT of the domain of any police force to dictate either way!)
US Citizen: “Why…you are taking my phone away from me…”
Cop: “It’s evidence… noise (sounds like ‘correct’)…you were recording….”
———————————————————-
My 2 cents:
There is a special hell for the 5 pigs that took down an old and handicapped man — BUT this PIG, that went beyond the take-down and tried to erase the evidence by confiscating the camera phone, deserves an even worse end!

and besides like I said before, Ron Paul is so pure and has been for decades, that it is astronomically unlikely that he is bought by big gov. and big business. that only cause that has “bought” Ron Paul is the cause of liberty and freedom, as the money bombs he hosts are gynormous

of course you don’t have to recieve money from corporations or gov. to live a luxurious life. but the kind of life that Ron Paul lives, is just normal, and the kind of work he does, if motivated by money, would warrant millions, and over decades maybe more. what im saying is that, if RP recieves money from these institutions, he must be hiding it in a retirement fund that he will never use, because he will probably not retire, ever.

its is a Fact that Ron Paul does not live a very luxurious life, never has, and never will. if that is the compensation that he will have received for decades of being belittled, bullied, slandered, and hated by the media and his fellow peers, then Ron Paul is one dumb person. The Truth is, Ron Paul doesn’t live a very luxurious life, not because of him hoarding his wealth to take to his grave, but because he isn’t a wealthy person, because his doesn’t accept money from corporations and gov.

All the references this guy makes to “cum, sucking dick, faggots and homosexuality” speaks volumes – IAMHEWHOAM is a closet queen! Those that speak so scathingly about / against homosexuality are usually gay themselves but are afraid / ashamed to admit it.
For someone that pretends to be straight you seem terribly obsessed with anything relating to the homosexual lifestyle! Straight men that are secure in their manhood are neither threatened by, nor feel the need to attack others sexuality!

Or maybe the money from the shadow government and wall-street is being kept secret. The reason why hes running as a republican party he because he wants to save the party for themselves. Hes trying to save a political party that doesn’t want to be save. Its still possible thats he sold he soul for money, I dont think thats ridiculous at all

remember, people who work for money plan on spending it in the present and/or future, Ron Paul is in his 70′s and is working himself hard, while not spending a penny on himself. some of the examples of his selflessness are: refusing the lifetime pension that congressmen are entitled to, accepting an income that of an average american, $30,000 or so if elected president. and he still does work on the side delivering babies, sounds like someone who sold his soul for money doesn’t it? ridiculous!!

its true that the Republican and Democratic parties both are pro war, but dont think that ron paul is guilty by association, the only reason he still belongs to the republican party is because it is easier for him to get his message out if he remains with a main party. he plans on changing the republican party from within, rather than starting his own. and if Ron paul was receiving money from corporations or a shadow gov. it would show by now.

Yep, that’s exactly what Moses did. He led his people toward the death cult of money loving slavers. That darn no good Moses is up to his same old tricks again! Out of reality and into hands of the old money grubbing , wicked Jew bankers.
The wise and loving leader of the sub-moronic dreamers, wRONg Paul, is the only hope for the lowly, trampled, whiney, AmeriKKKlan babies!!!
….p.s. it’s the man who, not “the man that”. You need to get an edgeumacation.

Bilderberg 2012: The Official List of Participants
http://www.infowars.com/bilderberg-2012-the-official-list-of-participants/
Could it be true that such key figures in the USA Government are party to this globalist gang?
I can’t believe it — this list has to be false….
Director of the NSA & US Cyber Command
Governor of Indiana
The National Security Advisor Of The White House
Senator for Massachusetts John Kerry
Co-Chair, Council on Foreign Relations; Former Secretary of the Treasury Rubin, Robert E.
———————————————–
It is understandable the rest from USA — CEOs of Banks, Foundations, Finance Groups, Google, sciolistic Professors, and other such private persona — to attend this meeting whose goal is an eventual One World Government.
As a private organization, Bilderberg may not disclose the Minutes of their meeting.
But if it is true, that our Government Officials and Holders of Office, are in attendance — isn’t there a constitutional law requiring them to give full disclosure by providing all transcripts, so the people they serve, The Citizens of the United States, are aware of exactly what was said and done?

Many seem not to understand that we, Ron Paul supporters, are not fighting to create a “new” nation, but to restore ours back to what it used to be and what was guaranteed since Day One by our Constitution (free and prosperous Sovereign Individuals, whereby the Government is subjected to Our Will, not the other way around which is now the Case-in-Fact)!
