OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Disagree
Women have a right to choose what is in their bodies. Women are not cattle, and it isn't THEIR fault science has allowed a human embryo to exist and grow to maturity outside a human womb.
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Disagree
Why? They are not people. They do not even have a fully developed brain, organs. They are not people. It is just a college of cells.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When a woman doesn't want to be a mother? The purpose of this is to remove agency from women. Seriously, it is to remove freedom from women. No more, no less. IF you were REALLY concerned about children (not from conception until they are born and stopping after that), you would support the economic environment that would cause the wealthy to pay their fair share SO prices will go down, it become affordable to have children and to raise a family...until then, it's just talk to make women slaves.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Yes. They provided medical care for women. Abortions are just ONE of the many services they provide.
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Disagree
It's capitalism, baby! I mean, you cannot be free market in everything BUT that... It's kind of hypocritical.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Disagree
A productive economy is created through fairness and the ability of ALL economic levels to succeed. The measure of worth of a society does not derive from those at the top. Nay, it comes from the quality of life for those at the bottom.
People who can afford to pay more taxes should do so in order to provide relief for working families.
Strongly Agree
Taxation, like the 94% tax rate for every dollar made above $200K (single) / $400K (married filing jointly), allows economic fairness, and it prevents hording of resources to raise prices that choke the working.
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
Yes, they need to cut spending that does not provide benefit to the working class because under Foundation Economics, like a normal house, when the "foundation" (the working class) is crumbling and in disrepair, the whole house (the economy) may fall OR introduce a whole slew of different problems that come from just...not...maintaining...the...foundation.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1) Cut all funding to Israel. 2) Increase taxes on the wealthy so "government waste" is not an issue. 3) With TriCare Prime-for-All will cut down significant waste in Medicaid and Medicare while providing an increased quality of life of all people in the United States. The only people against this HATE our military and are okay with Israel getting Universal Healthcare that our tax dollars pay for.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Agree
Discrimination is wrong for any reason.
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The state needs to be secular while the religion is used for people to make sense of the world.
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Did not answer
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Did not answer
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
