Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) offered his traditional tirade against the government’s current monetary policy, slamming the wealthy at a campaign stop in Springfield, Va., on Tuesday night. “Wealth is OK, as long as they don’t make it by ripping us off!” he exclaimed. “If they give us a good product, and we vote confidence in them, and they make money.” He continued to drive away at a libertarian critique of the wealthy, saying, “The entitlements system helps the wealthy more than the poor.”

Paul is one of two Republican candidates actually on the ballot in Virginia, a state set to vote on March 6, Super Tuesday.
