No | Should individuals be required to purchase health insurance, as mandated in the 2010 Affordable Care Act? | ||
Healthcare needs to be taken out of the hands of government & employers and put into the hands of individuals much like life insurance. Health insurance should not depend on where a person works, how many hours are worked, what state or city or county a person lives in. The solution is to find out WHY are medical costs so high and attack that end. Starting with tort reform and liabilty insurance. |

Yes | Should the U.S use military force in order to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon? | ||
Use of force should be the LAST thing the US has to use. The first step would be peace through strength. |
Yes | Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts? | ||
The Social Security system is a ponzie scheme. It creates government dependency instead of individual responsibility. The age should also be raised to 75 and every 5 yrs re-evaluated. |

The FairTax Bill Hr25 / S13 currently in Congress eliminates (a), (b), (f), (g), (h), (i) & (j) and will immediately turn our country around economically. More pressure on congress needs to be applied and more education to American citizens needs to happen. Most in congress realize the passage of this bill would mean a transfer of power out of their hands & into the hands of we the people. |
