ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The Federal Tax code should be changed to help working class/middle class family's. As for the state, which I am running for, business and entrepreneur taxes should be lowered to allow growth. Along with certain taxes for middle class and working families.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
To be frank. I have not done a detailed state analytical budget to see where cuts, if any, would be needed. The State of Indiana already has a balanced budget in place.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
Though I don't have an issue with grants or scholarships. The tax burden on Hoosiers would be too great for our state to carry such a dream. It would be better to concentrate resources of such magnitude either into the pockets of tax payers or areas in K-12 education or healthcare.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Such an act, would violate the freedom of association guarantee we have in the Federal Constitution. Forced inclusion only makes the world more intolerant in private matters.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
The buildings themselves and land ownership should never be shut down. But genuine illegal activities (not lockdown or covid-19 related which are pure violations of the 1st amendment) that are a result of genuine malice, such as murder cults, theft, bribery, etc. The personnel whom are guilty of such crimes must be punished. We don't punish the entire system for the crimes of 1 person.

HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

B
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
No business and most government entity's shouldn't require them. Only vaccinations that have a strong track record for certain areas like schools should be permissible. And only if they're the FDA approved version. Exceptions should be made for people of religious and ideological difference or if the person has a legitimate medical excuse. Vaccine discrimination is modern 21st century Jim Crow.

NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Stop meddling in the middle east and Islamic nations. The majority of attacks from Islamic terrorism is blowback from aggressive foreign policy by the United States. If the enemy has no reason to attack. Then they're no longer an enemy. Respecting the sovereignty of Islamic nations must come first.

I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who is willing to be an American in their heart. However, it should be a goal to slow down immigration drastically (with the exception of Cubans or other people who flee Communist nations) to take care of the current problems existing in our nation; Which includes our beloved diversity of people whom we must keep the promise of a better life. The rough truth is that more immigrants take more resources, money, food, water, etc, away from our current citizens and immigrants. We must put America FIRST.

VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Disagree
Christian values defined our cultural morality, but not our laws. If were talking about separation of powers. That was originally created by Montescu. Limited government has nothing to do with Christianity. Natural Law, is derived from Thomas Jefferson's deism, not Christianity pe se. However, culturally speaking Christianity is the most compatible religion for our Republic.

Neutral
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition
Disagree
I do not support same-sex marriage on secular grounds. But the idea that marriage is god-ordained isn't true. There have been secular and non-Christian marriages in the United States.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is based on Marxian sociological frameworks & critical theory from which are outdated and easily dismissed. CRT is an ideology that is comparable to the worst elements of Christianity. Which sees racism from our institutions to a glass of water or a paper bag.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. When you delve into statistics, more likely gang-warfare is to kill black folks than the KKK or white supremacist's. The same can be calculated for other groups. Media and fools are the ones who prop up this issue & cherry pick one incident while actual suffering never gets solved.

Both questions are flawed based on their premise. So I pick neither.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I have a vision for Indiana. Unlike the vast majority of candidates. Whom only care about the here and now. I'm the only one who has detailed plans on how to achieve future goals for our state.

As a consequence of accomplishment, patience, labor, values, and ideas. Let's see that sun rise, together.

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
Unless the gun had some malfunction. Generally speaking a bad actor who uses a gun to murder is to blame. We don't sue Toyota for a person who kills 5 people by running them over. Or have an accident. We hold the individual or party guilty.
