We Do Not Have Free Market Capitalism

By Ron Paul

It has become evident that our current system is failing. The support for both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders shows that this failure can no longer remain hidden. However, the ideas that both Trump and Sanders champion would just hasten the downward spiral. We must first admit that we do not live under free market capitalism. We instead carry the burdens of a hyper-interventionist government and military empire. To think that socialism (especially after the 20th century, which was filled with socialist-induced mass starvations and death) is the way out is terribly erroneous. We also do not need a "strong" leader to act a "fixer". We need liberty. We need free markets now more than ever. I discuss on RT below. (Note: my interview starts at the 15min mark):
