The war on terrorism and the Iraq war.
America can not effectively fight a war with out believing it is a just war. Nation Building as been very costly in lives and giving us a even larger debt. Bring Democracy can only mean one thing to a group of people hell bent on death and suicide more of the same. They will elect another HAMAS or dictator in time. The question we need to ask ourselves is this. When is it the right time to leave, when or how to we define victory? If American packed up all the military bases and all tax dollar financial aid to all other countries would America’s Constitution and our freedom disappear? When is the right time to defend our freedom and liberty from our own Government?
Illegal immigrants
First, secure the borders and no amnesty. We need to stop rewarding people for illegal behavior. People from all around the world wait and apply to come here and these people sneak in. It’s like standing in line to see a movie and some people sneak in thru the back door. We need to round them up and send them back. Build a moat fill it with Alligators and a concrete fence.
Foreign oil and financial aid to other countries.
America spends billions of tax payer money on other countries and yet we wonder why we are in debt and have problems with social security. America needs to start drilling in the US to move away from foreign oil. Places where we are currently getting our oil have anti-American tendencies and I think its best we move away from supporting them with our tax dollars and the American economy. Also with all this money we are spending to all these other countries do you think we could increase our soldiers pay. Remove all gas tax and evironmental restrictions and watch gas drop. Pull out of the middle east and it will drop back down to $20 a barrel.
Taxes and the Economy
The major problem with this country right now is we have too many taxes. The tax system needs to be streamlined and reduced. Now most people in the government don’t like this idea and I will tell you why. If people had most of their paycheck in their hands that would mean the people would have the power. With never ending tax revenue the government just passes pork spending bills and caters to the lobbyist. Government programs and serious taxes will need to be cut at the state and federal levels. If they want money they will have to ask you for it and not steal out of your pay check. Remove the Federal income tax. The value of our dollar is worth nothing which is why everything is so dam expensive. I think it's time get rid of managed inflation and the FED and start getting sound money backed by gold. This way many the government will have to aleast think about balancing a budget.
China and Made in the USA
Communist China is becoming a super power at the hands of the American consumer and it’s making me sick. Roland Reagan spent years trying to defeat the very thing we now support all to save a few dollars at Wal-Mart. We need to be self reliant when it comes to goods and start changing our trade policies we have with China and other countries. Get rid of Nafta, Cafta and the WTO.
Outsourcing
Companies all around America have been outsourcing jobs overseas ranging from IT to manufacturing. This has arisen many questions and stirred mostly anger at the government to defuse this popular trend. Americans are forced to find work somewhere else only to be threatened to be outsourced again. America can not compete with Third world wages and companies who abuse this process are only hurting America. Capitalism is a good thing but you have to have a general responsibly to the country who gives you such freedoms to do business. It’s hard for American families to live the American dream when you’re competing with lower wages half the way around the world.
Health Care
First let me say if anyone tells you they are offering a government managed health system just say NO!!. Also they will tell you it’s "FREE" but it’s not. This will be another government program that will bankrupt itself and the tax payer every week they look at their paychecks. We have the greatest health care in the world why go backwards. Is the current system perfect, NO!!!. But we can help to make it better and the first thing we can do is get the government out of managing medicare and start looking at some third party solutions like Charities.
Social Security
Social Security needs to be decommissioned period. We should pay out the rest to those who have paid into it and just let people choose their own form of retirement. Any money you put into social security seems to slip into a black hole never to be seen again and destroyed by inflation. It has been proven the government can not be trusted with your money so stop asking them to manage it for you.
Liberals and Socialism
First let me say not all Liberals are socialist and Commies. But seems to me Hillary and Obama and even McCain are big supporters of BIG Government. In my mind if your a neo-con as well get out of the Republican party and most of all I hope you get out of Government.
