Here is the chance to ask some tough questions on the economy and let everyone see Ron Paul's belief in liberty:

(The link for the actual place to ask questions is www.youtube.com/foxnews )

I am trying to think of some good questions to throw out that hopefully Paul can slam dunk.

The obvious issues (FED) come to mind. However, I think that a question about earmarks might be good (as the majority of people don't know that earmarking legislation is better than not earmarking it).

A very nice question someone asked:

In the last debate a young man asked the question, "of every dollar that I earn, how much do you think that I deserve to keep?" That question was never answered. Can any of you directly answer that question?

Another beautiful one:

This question is for everyone EXCEPT Ron Paul: None of you saw the economic crisis coming; why should I vote for you for president instead of voting for Ron Paul who predicted the crisis and tried to warn us about it ahead of time?

I threw a few in about earmarks, trickle-down tax brackets due to inflation, why gold prices are up, the effect of crowding out, the morality of government involvement in marriage and family. I asked Romney what the morality behind government mandates is.
