By RonPaul.com on October 6, 2009

Memorable Quote

“Every election season America is presented with a series of false choices. Should we launch preemptive wars against this country or that one? Should every American neighborhood live under this social policy or that one? Should a third of our income be taken away by an income tax or a national sales tax? The shared assumptions behind these questions, on the other hand, are never cast in doubt, or even raised.”— Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto
