In Response to: No Federal Funding for Abortion Services (With Exceptions)

“I stand for a flat tax. 50% is outrageous. 20% is outrageous. Under the Roman Empire, taxes rose to a high of 3% in times of war. 1% otherwise. I'd even be happy with 10%, but I'm not giving unto Caesar more than I give into God.”

In Response to: Should Gun Sellers Have to Wait for a Completed Background Check to Transfer a Firearm?

“Big money helps publicize candidates. It is the responsibility of the electorate to do their homework on candidates and issues. I didn't find the Libertarian Party because of George Soros or the brothers Koch. I found them through independent research.”

In Response to: Would a Public Campaign Finance System for House Candidates Empower Ordinary Citizens?

“This is an overreach of executive power. It's our duty as free men to ensure our freedom. This is what Ben Franklin meant when he said we have a republic if we can keep it.”

In Response to: Supporting the President’s Executive Orders on Immigration

“In order to preserve the freedom to have a private sector without it all being nationalized, it is critical that corporations take responsibility for their actions and not rely on the public to clean up after them. Liberty comes with obligation.”

In Response to: Should Free Birth Control Be Part Of The DOD's Health Care Plan?

In Response to: Cutting Federal Disability Benefits for Teens if They Miss Too Much School

“This makes as much sense as making personal motor vehicles no faster than city buses. Paying extra for better quality in the private sector is a personal prerogative. The government needs to butt out instead of imposing regulation on things that work just fine.”

“The tax code is complicated enough as it is. A flat tax without deductions and credits makes much more sense and would include a large segment of the population who do not pay taxes currently.
