This is the most enjoyable Ron Paul interview we've ever come across -- from Larry King last Thursday. All bases are touched: healthcare reform (Congressman Paul is a practicing physician), corporatism versus capitalism, lobbying's influence on legislation, our 1-party system, the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Wall Street's Capture of Washington, the Federal Reserve, bailouts, liberty and the forgotten Constitution.
Again, why is this man not President? No one else even comes close. Set aside 9 minutes, and do NOT quit early. The final 60 seconds are important.
Watch (don't click unless you're coming from our email newsletter -- video is below)
CNN: Congressman Dr. Ron Paul On Larry King Live -- October 29

- "We have lost our faith and confidence and understanding in how free markets work," he said. "We turned it upside-down by saying that any time corporations get benefits, we call it capitalism and freedom, and it's corporatism. It's the military industrial complex. It's all the special interests."
- "This is where Michael Moore gets it all wrong. He believes diligently in free markets because he believes in the First Amendment. He believes in making films. He doesn't believe in prior restraints. So, why should he condemn capitalism? He's condemning corporatism. I condemn it too. Special privileges for corporations is a big problem."
- "I think I complain about it as much as he does, but I think I understand it differently. When a country embarks on deficit financing and inflationism, you wipe out the middle class and wealth is transferred from the poor and middle class to the rich. When we get into trouble, the corporations -- once again, who are in control -- they come for their bailout and they get the benefits and the little people don't."
