None, because all life is precious.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Minimum wage was intended to be for those just entering the work force who don't have specialized training.

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

IMMIGRATION

VALUES

Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
