When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
No Answer
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am in the Libertarian Party and believe in personal freedoms. The conservatives and liberals believe government control is desirable.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Direct Primary Care has minimal government involvement with good care and low prices. The federal government should move healthcare control back to the states.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government fails to boost the economy. Manufacturing and sales boosts the economy. So the government can boost the economy by letting business function without interference.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Let everyone making $350 a week or less not have any money confiscated from their pay. Let companies that have hired these people not have a tax burden for these employees.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Train the correct number of people for jobs that are available. Do not train 100 people for one available job, or one person for 100 available jobs. Implement a policy of no confiscation on the first $350 per week of pay.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Restrict payments to retired people and spouse, setup other programs for disabled and children. Restrict government access to funds for other programs.

I have a BS in Engineering. I served in the Marines four years. I have worked in various companies designing higher quality products that can be made with less man hours. I have a patented product listed with Sears and Walmart.
