Dear  Poundians,

I do not usually read the NYTimes business section with my  literary eyes
open, but I think Pound would have been pleased to be quoted  in an article
by Ben Stein about the recent subprime lending  problems:

I  hope this message finds you all well,

Catherine:
 
EP's words about that mean ole lady usura are very apt for today's  housing 
market and lending practices.  Ironically, it is your namesake Dr.  Paul who is 
the ONLY candidate in the 2008 race for the Presidency that has an  answer 
and solution to all this nonsense going on in U. S. markets.  The  other 
candidates are totally ignorant of intelligent economic knowledge.   Congressman Ron 
Paul (OB/GYN doctor by profession) was trained in economics at  the Mises 
Institute in Auburn, Alabama, and has a real plan to get this country  back on the 
right track.  He has a COMPLETE platform to make it right for  all Americans a
nd it will also be a great move forward for other countries in  the world.  
His only problem?  Our country is run by the one-world  government crowd who 
are out to rule the world as one socialist entity with  total control of the 
people.  That crowd owns the main stream media who  have deliberately muzzled Ron 
Paul's message from the masses who belong to the  "duh" world of mainstream 
TV watchers who simply say, "tell me who to vote for  and what to do."  DUH!!!  
Usury (as EP stated), redistributes wealth  from the middle and lower classes 
directly into the hands of a privileged  few.
 
The warfare/welfare state is so destructive to the middle and lower  economic 
classes, and only benefits the very rich.  Dr. Andrew Bernstein in  his book 
"The Capitalist Manifesto" debunked the anti-capitalist complaint that  
capitalism is the system that thrives on war profits, but it is truly the  opposite. 
 During times of peace (which have been few and far between in  recent times) 
capitalist wealth and energies are focused on research and  development of 
science and technologies that benefit all of mankind, while  during war it is 
wasted on death and destruction in order to benefit a  few.  
 
It is a sad world we live in, but we can turn that around if we can  educate 
our people and return the Constitution to its rightful place as the  guiding 
light of a smaller government and a free market economy serving all of  the 
people.

The only  Presidential Candidate
