ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Disagree
Although I strongly believe we need less regulation so that our free markets can work, there have been times where Monopolies have been broken up (Roosevelt/Standard Oil) etc. I strongly believe that large tech monopolies need to be broken up. When Twitter collaborated with Amazon to have Parlor's servers taken offline that was manipulating the market. Everyone needs to be "checked" from time to time. The government being at the top of the list. But we cant have a Corporate Oligarchy either

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Large corporations should be incentivized through the tax code to give bonuses to their working class employees instead of the CEO's and Board Members. Its incentive based, you're not forcing them. Hopefully this will help with the growing wage gap. We need more tax payers, not more taxes. Keep the child tax credits. Allow Property/State/County taxes to be written off. Lower taxes across the board, for everyone. Abolish the IRS.

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
Churches should be able to speak about politics from the pulpit if they so desire. They did it hundreds of years ago. People used to receive their news from their Churches. Churches should be allowed to have Christian Groups at the Local Schools. Same can be said with other religions and religious organizations. Muslims are allowed to pray during school hours, (As they should be able to) Christians should be able to gather for clubs at the school.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
when they have been thoroughly tested for years with less than 0.001% side effects and the Drug maker can be sued. The vaccines that we al have (pox/Measles/etc) were tested for years/decades. Not rushed to market with emergency authorization. Covid has a 99% survival rate on its own. Not everyone needed a vaccine. Just the vulnerable. Unless the drug maker can be held liable, never...

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.
C. Although we must get rid of the fraud in both systems. We should always take care of our seniors and have reasonable care available to our poor. If we were to eliminate all the fraud and abuse of the system we could give much better care to both. End the handouts across the entire federal government.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
My top 4 are Election Integrity, Education, Tech Censorship and immigration. If we can abolish the Dept of Education, The state of Texas could then implement a 3 diploma system that would put job training into the high schools. We could partner with Community Colleges and have industry be partners in curriculum writing. They know what they want their future workers taught.
