ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

We should stop punishing people for success. We should change to a consumption tax system which would be fair to all.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Overhaul our welfare system to be a hand up instead of a hand out.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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.

Israel has been a trusted ally of the US for a very long time.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
