Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only if the life of the mother is at stake. She may live to have children again.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We can not continue being the world's police man. We need to support groups that are attempting to eradicate radical Islamic Terrorism even though strict adherence to the Koran advocates killing all non believers.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Our founding fathers recognized power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. They recognized this is what happened when there is a ruler that is unchecked.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe there is a supreme being that controls everything. From that little seed a tree will grow.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I was raised in a capital business environment. I have seen the results of a pure socialist society. There is no incentive to produce more than your neighbor.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I would not. Health care is not an entitlement nor a right for all.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Keep its hands out of business
What changes should be made to the tax code?
It is way too cumbersome. There are over 16,000 pages of tax code not law. It is the responsibility of Congress to innate the revenue law not some person in an IRS office.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Require those that receive government benefits work in some way, shape or form even it is working in the fields harvesting crops.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Require the government not to borrow from the SS funds. Keep their hand off.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am a CPA and have passed the IRS Enrolled Agent Exam. I have 50+ years of business experience. I will bring business experience to our government. I will not continue the political royalty that has become part of our government. I will in Mr. Lincoln's words continue "Government OF the people. BY the people and FOR the people."
