the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes, and businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerNo, because there are plenty of measures in place already that are not enforced. Legislators are fond of passing legislation with no intention of providing funds for enforcement. Guns are not the problem, the underlying lack of social and moral values is the problem. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
9>9 Personal answerWe should look at how countries like Germany, Switzerland, and Japan address this issue. Currently, the US is subsidizing drug prices for all other developed countries because of massive political campaign contributions. There is no will among US policymakers to change the system. |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
9>9 Personal answerThis term has no meaning except to inflame passions. A weapon is either a single shot, semi automatic, or fully automatic. Fully automatic weapons are already illegal. |

the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerThis issue cannot be taken in isolation, because many of these people receive other taxpayer assistance, such as welfare, etc. Also, this issue is tied to more available training for higher skilled work for positions needed in our evolving economy. Further, there needs to be a stringent review of those who have been on disability for more than 6 to 12 months, and those who are chronically receiving taxpayer funded aid due to their inability or unwillingness to improve their work related skills. |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerOnly those who are willing and have undergone sufficient psychological evaluation and situational training. |
the Environment › Climate Change
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
9>9 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerNo– A progressive tax rate structure is the only one that is fair. The IRS should have funding to increase data driven analytical resources to identify abuses to the current systems of deductions, losses and credits to catch those who are abusing the system. |
Elections › Mental competency testing
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerThis is a false dichotomy. Our system needs to be completely overhauled, based on the systems found in Germany, Switzerland, Japan and other developed countries that have different systems than that of the UK or Canada. Sadly, as long as politicians are on the payroll of large healthcare companies this will probably never happen. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
9>9 Personal answerYes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
9>9 Personal answerYes, but with very strict environmental regulations |
Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerCorporations generally pass tax increases along to customers in the form of higher prices. Also, deductions and so-called loopholes are often designed to encourage certain types of behavior by corporations that should result in more jobs and or increased spending. Dividends are already taxed to shareholders. Corporations that cannot identify legitimate plans for their retained earnings are already assessed a 20% penalty on those excess earnings. I believe that the IRS should be more assertive in assessing this 20% surcharge. That would encourage corporations to spend the money, the stimulating the economy, or pass it on to shareholders where they will be assessed the dividend tax |

9>9 Personal answerNo, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life |
the Economy › Government Spending
