Reddit reviews A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship

I just got Ron Paul's book "A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship" in the mail the other day. It's a collection of foreign policy speeches he made in the House over the years with updated commentary. Can't wait to read it.

Side note: You can see the book displayed to the left of RP in the reddit.com Interviews Ron Paul video.

1. If Mr. Janitor is employed by Mr. Park, then his salary is the appropriate way to compensate him for any and all services he provides. Mr. Janitor using the government to point a gun at Mr. Park's head to force him to pay more is not appropriate.
   
   
2. Is a good reason to greatly downsize the military. Read Ron Paul's A Foreign Policy of Freedom.
   
   
3. Actually, wealth gap or not, the vast majority of all federal spending is in four areas. The first, the military, I addressed above. The other three are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. These do not help the wealthy in any way since they don't need them--they can easily pay their own expenses. However, the wealthy are forced, through threat of violence, to pay the expenses of others. That is simple theft and it needs to stop.

Again, [A Foreign Policy of Freedom] (http://www.amazon.com/Foreign-Policy-Freedom-Commerce-Friendship/dp/0912453001) will go a long way.

EDIT - I understand you to be asking, what ought we do about the current threat of ISIL rampaging through our interests over there. To me it is evident that the US is unable to solve any problems in Iraq, let alone restore and maintain a peaceful, stable government. So any solution must come from the people who live there. How odd...

Exactly. You need someone well-read in political theory.

Ron Paul for example has written and published a number of books, mostly on monetary policy and foreign policy:

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship

Pillars of Prosperity

The Case for Gold

Gold, Peace, and Prosperity

End the Fed

Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom
