Strongly Disagree
15. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
Power corrupts. Checks and balances are therefore needed. Power should be widespread in our system of checks and balances. People should have jurisdiction over their own lives.
16. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
We should abolish the job-destroying minimum wage. The anti-free market minimum wage makes it illegal for many unemployed, less productive people to work. We lose their help. Have you noticed the people who have difficulty getting jobs? By setting wages by supply and demand, the competitive free market is able to employ almost everyone who wants to work. With the tax money we have already spent, we should now have more than 200 habitats in orbit around our Earth, Moon, Sun, and Mars. We should now have research space colonists living in these habitats, researching how to live and prosper in orbital space as habitat owning homesteaders. We should get ready to mine away the next Death Asteroid and convert it to many new habitats.
17. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
We should defend the right of people to have jurisdiction over their own bodies. Government should not have jurisdiction over how you manage your own body.
18. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
Voters, Constitution, Supreme Court
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Evolution was an important tool of God. God evolved brains in us so that we could study and understand and use science. By studying science, we become more and more amazed at the wonders of creation in the Universe.
