QUESTIONNAIRE*

RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
In the up to the first trimester
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Choose not to answer
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
The tax system is too complex and unfair--many companies pay little or no tax and perhaps 43-44% of Americans pay no tax. I believe everyone above the poverty level should pay some tax --even 1$. The progressive system that we have works and should a cap on taxes.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
That is the problem--we should grow an economy and raise the prospects of all Americans then tax the profit created. Don't borrow money to do programs. Run the government more efficiently and do a line item cut.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
Education is an investment made by the citizens and the county and it should not be only for college but the trades also--if someone wants their education paid for they should do public service in exchange for the educational benefits received.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under the constitution, we have separation of church and if someone's religion prevents them from performing a service and others are available to do the services they should be compelled to do so.
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
the only cases would if the churches doctrine was a threat to civil order abridge the rights of others
HEALTHCARE
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.
People should be allowed to get their own insurance from their employers, on their own or through medicare or if not available there should be a public option so that no one will go without medical coverage.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
for the better good--if ebola was discovered in the United State the Federal Government should require vaccinations
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
