Presidential Election 2020 Political Courage Test
| Yes | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| Yes | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| Upper tax brackets need to be taxed at a "fair", that is higher level. The abusive Republican Tax legislation passed in November 2017 that gave money to the Wealthy and Big business. It will be largely reversed under my Administration and made effective in 2021. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| There must be fixed limits on all sources of campaign donations. Maximum donations must not exceed $50,000. And all sources must be publicly identified. | |||
| Yes | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| No | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| All corporations must pay Federal taxes. | |||
| Yes | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| There must be a nationally accepted minimum expectation of academic performance. However, the Federal government cannot dump requirements on the States without some practical funding support included. "No Child Left Behind"!!! | |||
| Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Cancel any subsidies/tax breaks to the Oil Industry. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| I do not now and never have owned a gun. However, I support gun owner Rights! I know many hunters. Background checks need to be universal. I believe in the automatic Death Penalty for crimes of free-will, premeditated murder. See my Platform website www.commonsense2nd.com. Guns and bullets do not kill people. One person exercising their free-will on another person or persons Kill People. | |||
| No | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| Absolutely not. I fully support the involuntary restructuring of the Medical Insurance Industry. See my platform for details. ALL American citizens must have cradle-to-grave health care. Period! | |||
| No | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| But, unfortunately that will never happen. Due to the severe issues of over-population and Sea Level Rise, America must end all immigration for two (2) years or so. Conduct National Id Registration. We will finally have a National Id like every other country in the world has control our population and any visitors. Some Illegal Occupants (IOs) will stay, some will go. No more Illegal Entry. We must suspend the 14th Amendment. No more Border Babies. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| The United Nations must become a functional force in the world. Working toward Peace in all nations and worldwide. No more nations, especially those in the Middle East need to get nuclear weapons. | |||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| BUT, they serve their purpose in certain situation. | |||
| It is still the economy, folks. The cost-of-living must be controlled. All American citizens will have decent Food, decent Housing, and Medical Care. As Elizabeth Warren is promoting the Wealthy (and Big Industries) will be taxed for specific program funding. We will re-structure the entire Food Industry protecting farmers. We will implement National Rent Control modeled after New York City program. We will execute the involuntary corporate re-structuring and consolidation of the Medical Industry - not a government takeover. Details at www.commonsense2nd.com We will see to it that everyone that uses taxpayer funds will work, if at all possible. |
