Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.

This is America. The American dream is well alive. It is based on hard work, education and opportunity. The Government should not give out money, but should gave out a better employment opportunity for growth. Socialism does NOT work!

This is the first line of the 1st Amendment on the Constitution and we should honor the Constitution of America.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

A private business has the right to refuse services to anyone. That is the beauty of living in America. WE have the freedom of choice!

(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

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
