My brother and I have been debating back and forth about the evils of government and corporations. He is a republican hating democrat. He like Ron Paul, he just doesn't agree with his economics. He thinks that government should protect everyone from the evil corporations. Here is our last exchange.

Governments gain authority though force. Corporations have no
authority. Without government collusion, corporations are powerless
against the rights of the individual. Please note the statistics on
the right side of the page below. I see no corporations listed
there...not that there weren't any involved.

Anyways, this thread has become tiresome. Go ahead and cast your vote
for whichever statist hack you want. Just don't be surprised when
things get worse. We're one National Emergency away from a police
state, so pick which ever one you would prefer... nationalist-fascism,
christo-fascism, or socialism.

Agreed. As an aside, I promise you this: if he's on the ticket as a Republican or Independent, I'll vote for him. Otherwise I'm going with the Dem.
I don't expect him to register Republican to vote in his states closed primary but at least I've planted a seed (hopefully).
