Koerner: Ron Paul Can Win on Arithmetic, Not Just Philosophy

Another good one from Koerner.

I will vote for Ron Paul and Ron Paul only, and I will write his name in if necessary.

Same here. I’m also amazed by how quickly some of the Democrats I know are opening up to his message. All it takes is economic education. Astounding, really.

It seems most voters never get any serious, clear education, especially about economics, so it might not take much to convince them.

Yes, they’ve been brainwashed by the (Keynesian) schooling system and the mass media that economics is too complex and that they better defer to the “experts”. The path of revelation about Ron Paul inevitably leads through: (1) discovering that not only is economics easy to understand but it is also ESSENTIAL for supporting any socio-political position, and (2) understanding economics (i.e. austrian).

Once someone does (1) and (2) he becomes a Ron Paul supporter, regardless of their previous political background. This process increases his support base like a ratchet – only going up, and never down.

I got this image of Ron Paul on a podium being ratcheted up inexorably through the cloud of mainstream political fluffiness, to emerge finally with the cloud powerless to contain him since he is made of solid.
