Note: The opening audio sample is not Ron Paul. It's Walter White of Breaking Bad, just as an illustration of life in Creditland, and what a small fortune is required for a decent life. 

DJ Harmonize checks in with Tobin to discuss the buzz all around Dr. Ron Paul - from the right and the left. He is, after all, the peace candidate - and he's not pretending. But he also excited about handing lots 'n' lots of government authority directly to corporations. 

Is that really a good idea? Have corporations shown themselves to behave well, make lots of jobs when they get rich? Look out for the little guy's drinking water? (Brockovich) and make sure we're all getting a piece of the first world action?  

We are, after all, workers educated and raised by a first world society.  Some corporations, to be fair, do justice to us, the people of this country. A lot of other corporations would be happy to watch the government castrate itself so they can run the country - and our lives - how ever they want.

With Paul they wouldn't even need to BOTHER lobbying the government anymore.  (At least the lobbyists let us SEE - sometimes - what government, and which representatives, they are buying.)  

Welcome to the mythology of Ron Paul... if we gave him a chance to drive it head on into the real world, with real human motivations, he seems to know so little about.

Also discussed: Obama's freedom to do what is right - or not, the NDAA indefinite detention act. Mix by Jody Wisteroff.
