A true conservative would have to believe that a person's body is the "Ultimate Property Right". Family, Religious beliefs, and support groups need to be consulted. If we live in a country with Religious Freedoms, should not that be where the discussion starts?

Neutral

We can not defund the health care that these organizations provide, however, we should be allowed to fun different areas differently. As well as putting restrictions on how the money is spent, No Tax money should be allowed back into political campaigns. The issue of talking about the economics of life would require a priest, a rabbi, and a minister for me to be involved.

Neutral

Again, this a personal religious question, The agrarian in me would never allow an animal to suffer. Without a moral compass is society making decisions for others in broad strokes? Again Families, Doctors, and religious beliefs come into play. What is correct for one group may not be moral for another group. Some of

Which Tax Code? Each level has its issues, Locally I always favored a Fire and Resused Squad Tax, more of a shift with dedicated funding, We are required by law to supply the service. why not a dedicated stream to a true long-term budget can be made? Next up NJ sales Tax was implemented to pay for education. Now we pay Sales Tax and our property tax is diverted and increased to cover local school expenditures.

All of it, 10%, and debt service is a tax on our children and the future, one of the problems with debt is the circuitous nature of non-capital projects funded by debt. Government debt has become a leviathan, the more it is fed the more it grows.

Disagree

Most people are not aware that a reduced or free education is available through community college. However there are strong financial rewards for blue-collar workforces and we do not invest there, merrit base funding is another avenue. We need to prepare our youth for a career that is functional and productive for them and society.

Strongly Disagree

When the news focuses on some group trying to force their beliefs on a business it is always for attention.

Well not because of COVID, Religious liberties are diminished when there are aggressive towards religions institutions. However churches can not threaten the structure of government.

Somewhere between B & C Medicaid and Medicare are funded through payroll deductions. Get the lawyers and the lobbyists out of healthcare and prices will come down. The cost of legal costs for doctors being in Health Care is one of the burdens of Health Care.

That's a loaded question. COVID took us too far. Polio, Small Pox, etc were better successes. Anyone involved in the policy decision should be removed from the financial opportunities. So the government and schools have a harder threshold of proof than private employers. Employers in the private sector have a right to impose or not impose policies that they find will economically benefit them.

Terrorism is contrary to the beliefs and values of our society and its members.

Neutral

Trump was close to having peace in this region. Israel has always been a strong US ally. However, like NATO the US should not be funding the entire project.

Strongly Agree

That is a short one. Without borders, we do not have a country.

That is a long one. First, we need to target those that improve our society, If people are coming to do work, let's bring them in orderly so they can work and pay taxes. No one should be allowed to walk into this country.

Strongly Agree

Choice is good. Parents need options. Options force entities to perform better.

Strongly Agree

Our constitution and our monetary system are based on this.

Neutral

Gender Identity can not be used as a crutch. If someone uses Gender ID to get a job they are not qualified for at the expense of a qualified candidate that is discrimination as well.

Strongly Agree

The separation between Church and State. Marriage is a contract, at the municipal level. It is a covenant at the religious level. I have learned that all marriages are contracts of the state, and the state grants the religious institutes the right to provide them. Maybe it should be the other way around?

Strongly Disagree

Erasing the past harms the future.

I was raised Catholic and my core belief star there. I have strong ties with many Jewish communities. Religious beliefs are the core of the country's foundation. Judo-Christian and Agrarian foundations help guide my thoughts, My mother had a Master's Degree in Theology. She would toy with people when they said they did not believe in God because God believed in them. The proof was that they are here. I do not believe that everyone has to be in church every week to be a good person, however, many people are better served through regular attendance, as well as being part of something larger than themselves, No matter what people say, "In the end, we all talk to God".

Strongly Disagree

One person one vote,

I think we have to stop ballot harvesting. We also may want to look at the drinking/smoking age versus the voting age. Campaign financing as well should a local job for $50,000 require a 1.2 million dollar election? It seems disproportionate.

My belief is that most people want equal opportunity. We lose our working-age people to drugs and basements. Communities should reflect their own beliefs and values. Work-Force development and business need to grow and reflect the community. We need to support our differences and combine them into community strengths. A team is built with members having different strengths, not all similar attributes.

Strongly Disagree

I think the false hope of this from the government is holding people back. It distracts those ill-intentioned from being productive in society.

A, A true Conservative wants to conserve and protect the environment. It goes back to my Agrarian Foundation. Our resources can be maximized without economic disadvantage. Currently in NJ we are shutting down low cost electric to kill whales and pollute the ocean to make over priced electric,

Agree

Agree when the groundwater and property values are protected. Natural gas, safety harvested produce clean inexpensive electricity, and it is local.

Like the Police, To Serve and Protect. That does include protect financial investments and expenditures

Conservative

NA

NO

Having studied it, I believe that Debt Service is a tax on our children, schools are miss-funded, quality police are essential to an orderly society, and we live in a zero-sum society where for the government to pay for something it has to take it from someone or somewhere else. We live in a republic where the individual's rights are protected from the masses. I believe in The Constitution Of The United States Of America. I believe that when "Society" is spending money it should have a say in how it gets spent. I believe that Parents need to be involved in their children's life and education, and should be allowed to have options. So a return to for the people by the people, fair and balance education with parental involvement. Equitable starts, with unlimited growths. Workforce development growth and support.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree

Mental health is a different line item.

The Second Amendment is clear, however, mental illness and criminals do require restrictions

Strongly Disagree

We do not sue car manufacturers and liquor companies for DWIs. More people die from golf clubs hammers and clubs, opioids, etc, sensationalizing this moves the focus away from the problem.
