Why does Ron Paul want to eliminate the Federal Government?

he keeps talking about how we need to "end the fed" like an extremist terrorist. What is that gonna do? Does he want each state to be its own country and have full states rights on everything like how it was during slavery? If he wants to end the Fed so much, why would he try to run for president when the president is part of the Federal Government?

Update:

Do you want the Federal Government gone??? why or why not?

    Hes talking bout the Fed Reserve not the entire Government although the argument can be made that the FED owns the Federal Government and must be abolished if we wish to truly live free . Even Woodrow Wilson himself had deep regrets about his formation of a Fed Reserve Bank saying that he feared he had done a great dis service to the country and its people by doing so . You do realize that the FED reserve is actually a private consortium of bankers and a quasi government agency that pays no state or local taxes on its profits , dont you

    The Federal Reserve is NOT part of the federal government . It is an elitist banking class that controls our money supply . It is a small group of bankers that give THEIR banks preference over other banks .. If you think he is an " elitist terrorist " then you need to educate yourself on the subject . Thomas Jefferson WARNED against a central bank and their ability to influence monetary policy many years ago . The most recent ( before Ron Paul ) was President Kennedy . ALL were right in their warnings . The Federal Reserve has literally STOLEN trillions of OUR dollars ..

    End the Fed refers to the Federal Reserve System, and on this issue I actually agree with him.

    I want to abolish the Federal Reserve and transfer its power to the Treasury. I support central banking but the Fed operates in secrecy; our central bank needs to be transparent.

    Surely you are smarter than you sound. (Well, maybe not). He wants to eliminate the Federal Reserve, not the Federal Government.

    A: they're prepared to compromise, supply the white abode yet another wellness care reform bill that addresses all the products that Obamacare does and that i might wager they might evaluate it. in basic terms repealing it is not a compromise. B: particular Republicans controll 33 states of those 33 no longer all governorships have been up for election final cycle and as for the abode, fifty one% of all votes solid in abode of representative races have been Democrats yet because of the fact of those 33 governorships that the republicans controlled in the time of redistricting, the districts have been drawn in a fashion the heavily favors republicans as you could somewhat see. no longer that any republicans might trouble to verify those data earlier in basic terms choosing to ignore approximately this post

    Dear Emily Litella,

    Ron Paul, the free market Mooney, was referring to the reserve not the government.

    Oh, Never mind

    Huge parts of the Federal government need to be abolished. He doesn't want to end the fed overall.
