1971 FBF: Ron Paul on Liberty, Taxes, & Everything Else

Today's Flashback Friday is from episodes 912 and 913 published last November 20 and 22, 2017 respectively. Jason Hartman kicks off today's episode with a look at Daren Blomquist's latest Housing Report and breaks it down piece by piece. He examines the data about a long-time low in housing starts, a construction worker shortage, and an investors lament. Then, Jason introduces his guest, and Meet the Masters headline speaker, former Senator Dr. Ron Paul. The two examine what liberty really means, what governments role actually is, the damage our educational system is doing to our society, and what should be done with the federal income tax.  The two finish up their talk by looking at why the government thinks they're the best option for many aspects in our lives, what would happen if the government got out of the way and prices reverted to normal (rather than the distorted view we're getting today), and why we shouldn't expect to see inflation curbed in the near future (or ever, more likely).   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial: 3:50 Daren Blomquist, with ATTOM Data, has released his lastest Housing Report that examines the topic of bubble markets 8:16 The construction void: lowest home starts since 1964 13:16 The idea of a bubble warning 17:04 When Jason didn't buy mobile home parks, an investors lament 20:18 A huge labor shortage in the construction industry 22:05 Don't forget to make your 5 year plan Ron Paul Interview: 24:01 What is the meaning of liberty, according to Ron Paul? 28:50 How do you draw the line about what the government should be involved in? 32:20 Ron Paul's liberty amendment to end income tax 35:58 Progressive education has harmed our nation 38:26 What business is it of the government to involve themselves in so many aspects of our lives? 40:45 Many governmental programs have distorted markets like student loans and housing markets 44:17 Distorted prices and manipulating the currency and tax codes makes people worry about gaining the best tax advantage rather than getting the highest return or providing the most value 47:14 Inflation, from the government and central bank point of view, seems to be a great business plan   Websites: www.JasonHartman.com/Contest www.JasonHartman.com/Masters www.RonPaulLibertyReport.com   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com         Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
