Zeus,

I'll try one more time, but you seem to have some comprehension issues to go along with your other problems.

I'll start with a question.

Is Ron Paul a libertarian and a man of high integrity?

I'll presume only an idiot would say no.

Ron works for the government!

He does an honest day's work trying to make things better even though he is surrounded by corrupt politicians knowingly trying to expand wasteful, inefficient programs and to transfer wealth to their supporters in corrupt ways.

As is always the case, you can't seem to cope with the concept that institutions and everyone that works for them are not corrupt.

Individuals within them sometimes are.

In this specific case, the number of individuals (mostly those with real power) that are corrupt is very large. Even people on the left would agree with that. They would just limit their pointing to the other side of the aisle. :-)

That makes government very inefficient and wasteful overall.

But there are millions of good hardworking individuals that make their living in government just as there are mostly decent, honest, etc.. Catholic priests doing wonderful things for society among the very small minority of "individuals" that have done evil in that institution.

At this point consider yourself on ignore.
