Not even Hawley opposed it, even though he pretends to fight big tech.
Rand Paul just gave corporations a huuuge subsidy. Libertarian, my ass.
Vote all the bums in Congress out. They are all crooks and stink to high heaven!

It really is a travesty. If I want to have my own company I have to make sure I dot every i and cross every t on taxes and paperwork or else the government will crawl up my ass to make life a nightmare. Meanwhile certain corporations now are at record high profits because their small business competitors are deemed non essential.
It just sucks that most people don’t see the lockdowns for what they really are. It’s a huge transfer of wealth and power from the working class to the ruling class.
And you are absolutely right. This country functions best when we are left alone without government intervention. Let people do what they do and they will innovate, invent, and create amazing things.
Trump has conservative instincts overall. I trust his gut. The problem is he doesn't think intellectually about things like someone such as Ron Paul would.
Ron Paul barely got any votes in the GOP presidential primaries, so obviously voters were too enamored with neocons in 2008 and 2012 or too stupid to understand the significance of Ron Paul's platform. So obviously Trump's method for getting elected worked. The problem is he filled cabinet positions with total crooks and listened to RINOs who never had his best interests at heart. Ron Paul always hired smart people who were in total agreement with his agenda.
But yeah, if you want to start a small business, you get taxed extra on social security/medicare self-employment taxes. Styxhexenhammer666 bitches about this all the time. Things are only good in this country if you are a big dog making money off of passive income from rent or a business. Our whole taxation system and economy is a giant pyramid scheme.
Thomas Jefferson would be weeping right now.
I love Trump. I also love Ron Paul. I really didn’t understand Ron Paul when I should have. I was introduced to him in 2012 but didn’t really pay attention until it was too late. I worked with a guy in 2012 who considered himself a “conspiracy theorist” who tried to red pill me but it didn’t sink in. It wasn’t until Sandy Hook happened and I read an article by a man named Mike Adams about gun confiscation that I started to see the truth. He lead me to Alex Jones and the dam burst. This was also after leaving the military and I started classes at a university where a teacher tried citing Marx. That was my turning point. So while we may see what’s happening others may be slightly behind. I think the issue with Ron Paul was that he seemed fringe at the time but people didn’t get a good image of him because Fox News wouldn’t even show him in the running during the presidential election. I hate seeing boycott Fox News posts when they have never really been on our side. I know Thomas Jefferson is weeping but I hope we can put a smile on his face soon. Keep your head up and keep changing minds. You may not be successful the first time but if you plant the seed then it may be easier for someone to come around the next time. That’s what happened to me.
Someone else tried to convince me Ron Paul was cool back in 2012, but all I could think about was voting for Obama to stop Romney, lol. Douche vs a Turd!
Rand Paul is NOT a libertarian. Making backroom deals with Mike Lee to preserve ~5000 green cards for filipina nurses in KY in exchange for his support of the bill, is icky. Ron Paul hated special interest groups getting special privileges.
I don't care if Rand Paul says he wants to pay of the debt and abolish the federal reserve on his website. He knows most people don't even understand how central banking works. I feel like he's one of those RINOs who talks about principles, but as soon as he has a chance to act on them, he chickens out.
Yeah, I'll keep trying to convince people here not to sacrifice liberty for security, but people think libertarianism is the Koch bros. LOL. Those guys are crony capitalists.
