I don’t know why Jon decides to have Ron Paul on his show so many times. There’s never really anything substantive, just Ron Paul dodging questions. And I quote “the regulations are much tougher in a free market because you cannot commit fraud, you cannot steal you cannot hurt people.”
Does Ron Paul know anything about the history of earth? This is blatant ignorance. I hope “Dr.” Paul is never invited back to The Daily Show.

Actually, it’s blatant fantasy. It’s the Randian mythos - in the free market, the really, really free market, nobody cheats anyone and there’s no crime. Except for the Galtian overlords, and when they do it to parasites it’s a victimless crime, because they deserve it.
