The assumption I see here: No lower class individuals support Ron Paul.

Ron Paul would see those gas companies get bigger, and would see those companies become one single company.
The assumption I see here: Lack of federal regulation means that state and local regulation does not exists.
These companies can still be regulated.

OK, let's dodge all of that and get a job without going to school? Now we're making minimum wage, and trying to pay for transportation and funding.
The assumption I see here: All jobs are minimum wage and low paying if you don't go to school. Additionally, apparently using military scholarships to pay for a good education isn't an option.

Add a sudden accident or disability or child to this, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to get ground back. This isn't people being lazy, stupid, or incapable. It's people being unable to afford the high cost of living, or paying the ridiculous fee for a piece of paper that allows you to work in a wealthy field.
No real assumption here -- this is a very valid point but again, Ron Paul wants to drive down the cost of health care and, additionally, there is also state and local government which are much easily influenced by the people they represent.

Unmonitored industry would further destroy our economy, and nothing about economics is going to disagree with that statement. Nowhere will you hear the phrase "Monopolies help everyone in a society." Monopolies go AGAINST the grain of a society, destroying it from the ground up.
As mentioned earlier, this is assuming no state and local regulation.

We're going to look like a lot of African countries in a few years, if things keep going in this direction. Big government buildings full of delegates all handing money back and forth between eachother, killing dissenters, and using "Freedom" as a justification for everything.
I don't quite follow your logic here. The issue is that the government uses the word "freedom" as a sort of justification but hardly practice it themselves. Ron Paul wants to practice and protect individual freedoms promised by our Constitution while, at the same time, staying out of foreign affairs and objecting to nation building.
