[Classic 1988] Ron Paul on Firing Line with William F. Buckley — Paul had the answers 22 years ago! “I happen to be a libertarian because of the compassionate nature of the results.”

“I happen to be a libertarian because of the compassionate nature of the results. I happen to believe that the most prosperous society comes from a libertarian society, where the people are free to produce at the maximum amount. And you’ll have the least amount of poverty and the greatest amount of charity.”

– Ron Paul
