That would best be asked of the people that know me. My Father was a very conservative Primitive Baptist. He taught us nothing is free, work is a virtue. Believe that God will take care of those who help them self.

I was a proven Conservative then and I'm even more so today.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Make all able body people work. If you are on any type of public assistance you most work min. 20 hr a week. Government should not be a nanny state. I own a small business for 30 yrs. I can not get workers. Lowering taxes was a wonderful thing. There is no reason everyone is not working.

Shrink the size of Government,keep Taxes low,cut the regulations that are killing our business.
