Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-Choice but I'm deeply opposed to abortion. However, a woman has the absolute right to control and maintain the integrity of her own body. It would be a dark, rocky, slippery-slope for a government to attempt to dictate any aspect thereof, as ugly as it may be. |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerTake the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo. A gun is a tool, it's not sentient. Determining who can use said tool requires a test of some kind i.e., background check, training, etc. Mental health as well as privacy are concerns with respect to personal use of any tool be it gun, knife, hammer, car, poison, etc. All that said, there are more fundamental rights at stake in governments restrictions of various tools. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerYes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNo, command and control economies pervert clean market feedback systems...at any and all levels. |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerThe negative externalities associated with the extraction, processing, transportation and burning of carbon fuels is undoubtedly detrimental to our biosphere. Policy addressing the true costs of said externalities in terms of both regulations, taxes and value is ultimately dependent upon an educated electorate. Again, this is a causality concern meaning that other issues, mainl higher education standards, must be prioritized. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
4>4 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |

Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerNo, they must formally apply like every other new citizen |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |

4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerNo, and eligibility should only include the elderly and disabled |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerThe question is somewhat ambiguous: some laws are currently not fully enforced by the federal government while others are. Therefore, restrict from which perspective? Borders define countries. Law defines societies. National security requires more thoughtful sustainable economic carrots and sticks. |

Elections › Voter Fraud
4>4 Personal answerYes |

Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
4>4 Personal answerYes, a willingness to assimilate begins by demonstrating practice of a country's primary mode of communication. |

4>4 Personal answerNo |

Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerYes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerNo. The ACA is an obvious socialist wealth redistribution scheme. The public through their government should have a vested interest in general public health. However, personal responsibility for one's health should be Naturally Darwinistic and can never be effectively managed by government. |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerNo, carbon based fuels requiring increasingly difficult extraction methods without addressing the associated negative externalities are highly problematic and ultimately unsustainable. |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
4>4 Personal answerYes, as long as landowners are fairly compensated and the projects will benefit the community |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
4>4 Personal answerNo, we should let China address this issue |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
4>4 Personal answerNo, conduct targeted airstrikes instead |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
4>4 Personal answerIncreasingly, foreign aid should be considered a tool of national security and not humanitarianism of charity. Of course, to be effective significant checks and balances must be attached to said aid to insure goals friendly to the U.S. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
4>4 Personal answerYes, but the assumption is that said "foreign countries" are actively harboring terrorists and or are unwilling to cooperate in their irradiation. |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
4>4 Personal answerYes |

4>4 Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |

Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
4>4 Personal answerNo, we should not legitimize ISIS as a sovereign entity |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerYes, but by smartly incentivizing/partnering with private ventures. The risk/reward associated with such grand endeavors must be shared by the public. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
4>4 Personal answerSmart people should be able to advantage smart investment strategies. Smart societies elect smart leaders to enact smart banking laws with clear language and fully transparent management. The concept of somehow restricting individuals to how and where they can employ their hard-earned economic resources will always be a closet of cans of worms. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerYes, surveillance of all foreign countries is essential to tracking potential terrorist threats |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
4>4 Personal answerThe Fed is a tool of our government, for better or worse depending on ones understanding of neoclassical economic theory and it's inherent inefficiencies. In the near-term The Fed is a necessary institution both by and for our country in maintaining multinational socioeconomic stability and thus our security/supremacy. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
4>4 Personal answerSuch issues are currently complexly entangled with other economic policies. Again, the U.S. desperately need more comprehensive sustainable strategies to insure both food security and therefore national security. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
4>4 Personal answerI'm somewhat ambivalent about this question The Cuban people should have long ago mustered the fortitude to defeat their communist jailers. That they have not means a predominant ideological bent that will be relatively short-term problematic. That said, multi-dimensional engagement is certainly more productive than continued isolation. |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
4>4 Personal answerIf answered in the affirmative, this question means war between the U.S. and Russia. A comprehensive strategy is required, preferably with all stakeholders, to defeat ISIS. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Pension Reform
4>4 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerIt's complicated. I would need to see a plan. Public education on the matter as well as general cyber-security issues needs to be addressed as well as present and potential future privacy policies issues that will certainly arise. |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerYes, but detest the lack of transparency in its negotiation and have issues with the global economics that it is predicated upon. |
