Bronies for Ron Paul

List of reasons why, if you are a brony, you should support Ron Paul:

1.  Ron Paul supports a gold standard



The primary currency of Equestria (bits) have the appearance of small gold coins.  Prior to 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold, however to fund the war in Vietnam and a myriad of other social programs, President Nixon removed the link between the US dollar and gold, thus giving the US Federal Reserve bank the power to print infinite amounts of US dollars.  Over the next 40 years, this power, combined with the requirement that all international commerce be done in US dollars, allowed the US government to accumulate the largest debt in human history.  A debt that CANNOT be paid off without the government defaulting or causing hyperinflation.  Neither scenario bodes well for the US, but at the current state there is NO OTHER POSSIBLE OUTCOME.

Ron Paul has been warning of this for over 30 years.


2.  Ron Paul believes you should be able to "earn a lot of money" for yourself, your family, or for whatever reason you believe in, provided you do it honestly.




Wouldn't you like to go to the Grand Galloping gala, sell your apple-tastic treats to hungry ponies?  In so doing, wouldn't you like to "earn a lot of money" either for your family, yourself, your friends, your business, or whatever reason you want to?

The problem in the western world, lead by the United States is such a system does not exist.  A crony, corporate welfare state exists where the government punishes people who, like Apple Jack pictured above, want to do fair, honest business.  Instead of rewarding hard work and entrepreneurial activity, government rewards the greedy - both the rich and the poor - by allowing the super rich to influence politics and create unsustainable monopolies, or by enslaving the poor with unfair inflation and welfare.

Either way, the basis for how government operates is by blatant thievery, destroying a free market system based on voluntary, mutual transactions and creating a system of usury and theft.  Ron Paul would be a bane to such a system.



3.  Ron Paul won't banish you from the US, throw you in a dungeon, or banish you and then through you in a dungeon in the place that he banishes you.


President Obama recently was given the power to completely sidestep the bill of rights and arbitrarily arrest and indefinitely detain US citizens without charge or the right to legal council.  This effectively gives the President of the United States the power to do to American citizens what Twighlight was so afraid Princess Celestia would do to Fluttershy for abducting her Phoenix, Philomeena.


4.  Ron Paul will find a way through..

If anyone other than Ron Paul is elected, it's a certainty that the US WILL start a war against Iran that in all probability could trigger World War 3.

Ron Paul voted against the War in Iraq and frequently calls for the use of diplomacy and compromise, instead of the use of force and hostile coercion.  His policy of "Mutually Assured Respect" is something Princess Celestia her self could have came up with:
