Ron Paul: "We Need Honest Money, A Gold Standard And Not Paper Money"

REP. RON PAUL (R-TX): "I've been in politics for 35 years. My cause has been the cause of liberty. And I am convinced that liberty does not come from our government, but it comes from our creator. And our goal should be peace and prosperity.



"It is under the principles of liberty that you have the greatest chance of achieving peace and prosperity. That is why I'm so down on these wars that [are] costing us trillions of dollars. Why we have to reform the monetary system. Why we need honest money, a gold standard, and not paper money out of the Federal Reserve System.



"But also we need to change the environment for our businesses. We need to lower the regulations and the taxes and have private property rights and contract rights. Then, we can achieve peace and real prosperity."
