RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
My platform is to provide (Through the Social Security Admin) 24,000 per year for each American child to educate and keep out of poverty. Currently we are spending 39,000 plus but no checks for the child just massive social profiteering by tax collectors and program managers. Every single woman I talked to about having an abortion said, "for that type of money I would not even consider an abortion". So why have the Republicans when in power not only reduce taxes but provide 24,000 per child which takes the left radical abortionist activist main talking point away from them (Which is you will be in poverty if you have a child) ?

ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Agree
I believe in the same tax rate for all persons. My platform is simple. 5.5% tax on the 18.665 Trillion would generate 1.026 Trillion plus the 730 Billion in (Corporate, cig tax tariffs etc.) would generate 1.756 Trillion. This would provide 24,000 for each of 73.1 million children (why would they need more?) before going to work or getting Married. 3% Social Security tax on Labor (Currently 7.65) and 7% matching (Currently 7.65%) for paychecks for Social Security. 3% for health accounts.

The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
We only need 13% total taxation up to 75,000. After 75,0000 a 7% tax would of paid for government as soon as we stop paying 39,000 per child in Programs and just cut them a 24,000 check.

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
5.5% social tax for children (24,000 per child) 3 % for Social security checks (7% for employer) 5.5 % for health savings accounts (which means 8.5% capital gains ( total 14%) generates 1.026 plus 736 billion That is 1.756 for Healthcare. No other socialism is needed. 7% after 90,000 to pay what government should really be doing (defense, police) instead of paying for illegal immigrants and giving money to foreign governments so children (Hunter Biden) gets high paying jobs.

None.
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.
We need to rethink healthcare totally. The insurance companies are the only ones by law to negotiate healthcare costs. we need to revoke that and their 400% profit since Obama care. Total healthcare costs were 1.8 Trillion dollars (9,000 per person 200 million people between 18 - 64). Plus the 480 billion for Medicare and 256 Billion for Nursing homes/Hospice care. Allowing More non-profits like Medishare into the market place and paying for Medishare out of health saving savings accounts would eliminate the need for Medicaid right away and eventually Medicare eventually.

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God. I believe there is too many people profiteering from their "Belief in God" or their "disbelief in God". Your relationship with God is between you, your family and God. If you are a Christian that means you are a sinner because you realize you are not perfect. The 10 commandants are there for a reason.

Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
I vote in person everyone must stride to do so also. Paper ballots only. Electronic counting machines (for quick results) followed by a paper count (which is the only one that is legal) Absentee ballots for military. I believe if there is another of day (make-up) then it should be on Veterans Day (the 11th). Only people with emergencies should get an absent ballot besides the military. A National Data base of Voters to make sure no one is voting twice that the states have to check the results to. Voter I. D. Any non citizen caught voting illegally, fined $5,000 and expelled from the country forever. Any Citizen voting more than once fined 10,000 for every vote. That's a good start.

My Commercial on KMOX says it all. Get rid of the gazillion tax collectors and programs (social profiteering by the rich) for the Children and provide 24,000 for each child and stop throwing people in prison for felony child support. They are our children for life and a simple tax to Social Security would provide the 24,000 and balance our budgets. Bernie Sanders says he wants "Free College Education". Well the Department of Education spends 68 Billion dollars a year for what? 68 Billion for each of the 4 million children graduating is $17,000.00. My daughter went and received 2 degrees from community college and is making 90,000.00 a year since 26. Total cost of her community college was 10,000. There is your "Free college" Bernie. Gut the unneeded Department of education.

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I worked for 47 years and I am tired of the same politicians. So instead of retiring I intend to do something instead of complaining. The First Character trait I look for in a politician is: " Is he going to continue to steal my money?". Nothing else matters. I worked 47 years - 13.5 in the private sector, 14.5 in the Military and 19.5 at the Post office with 36 years being in computer programming and electronics. In those professions I learned to "analyze the system" and fix it. We believe in the KISS theory in those professions, which is Keep It Simple Stupid. every circuit is simple, but the machine is complex. And if the machine is beyond saving, then scrap it and get a new one,
