shermann7, the story by a grateful man is a good one. I'm sure Ron Paul did many kind things for many people.
Ron Paul's file
Republican from Texas
Ron Paul, a Texas physician, served two stints in the U.S. House. He also was the Libertarian Party nominee for president in 1988 before later seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012. He didn't seek re-election to the House in 2012. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/ron-paul/
I'm not into being critical of him, nor discussing him more, at this time of his political life.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
