A poor choice of words on my part. What I'm getting at is that Ron Paul believes in the capitalist system, though more in its 'pure unadulterated laissez fairre market driven' form. For him, the problem is that the neocons have the best of both worlds. Socialism for the rich (we MUST bail out the banks!!!! ) and free market capitalism for every body else. I would have said just the poor, but the middle class is under attack now. Being a man of principle, he believes in fair play for all sides.
