Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
4>4 Personal answerPro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it |
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 |
Social › Gender Identity
4>4 Personal answerNo, and repeal anti-discrimination laws for private companies |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
4>4 Personal answerYes, any business should be able to deny service for any reason |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
4>4 Personal answerNo, and the government should not give funds to any organizations |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
4>4 Personal answerNo, and eliminate all wage standards |
the Environment › Climate Change
4>4 Personal answerHistorically, the studies put forth by the government regarding climate have been questionable. Even if we assume the government-funded studies are accurate and that we need to make serious changes before catastrophic climate events occur in the foreseeable future, I don't trust the government to successfully combat this threat. Also, everything the government funds is funded through taxation, which is a form of theft/extortion; which I oppose. I would rather see the government stop polluting more than any other organization (largely through military activity) and stop restricting private industry from developing fuel alternatives and other environmentally beneficial technologies. |
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 |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
4>4 Personal answerYes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes: 0 terms. Eliminate Congress along with all agents of the State, and allow competing private industries to replace them in a voluntary arbitration/defense services market. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
4>4 Personal answerNo. This would be slavery. |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, this decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion |
Immigration › Immigration
4>4 Personal answerAbolish the concept of citizenship as it is meaningless and more of a synonym for serfdom than anything. |
Education › Student Loans
4>4 Personal answerNo, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts |
Social › Death Penalty
4>4 Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted |
Healthcare › Marijuana
4>4 Personal answerYes. Legalize and decriminalize the use of all substances. The government should also not tax or interfere with market-initiated regulatory agencies as the industry evolves. |
Social › Confederate Flag
4>4 Personal answerAuction off government property and allow individuals to display whatever items they choose to display. Neighbors, customers, friends, family, and other members of society can voice their distaste for things they find offensive. These pressures will affect what items people will want to display as their decisions may have a negative impact on their relationships and general well-being within their communities. |
Social › Government Mandates
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerNo. The government should not have the authority to determine who cannot travel by air, and this certainly should not affect one's natural right to self-defense with whatever tool may be necessary; be it fists, a knife, a gun, or a grenade assuming there is no collateral damage to innocent people or their property. |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
4>4 Personal answerNo, and abolish the NSA |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
4>4 Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
4>4 Personal answerNo, only if they are convicted of a violent crime |
Social › Women in Combat
4>4 Personal answerDe-fund all military operations and allow the market to decide what types of protection/defense services are most effective and ethically agreeable. There very well may be specialized roles for women in the industry that would arise from this. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
4>4 Personal answerNo, and abolish Medicaid |
Immigration › Border Security
4>4 Personal answerNo, and we should implement an open border policy |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
4>4 Personal answerI would love to see an energy industry that isn't manipulated by government funding/favoritism that operates via companies lobbying politicians with financial promises in exchange for operational privileges and taxpayer funding, which is transferred through the coercive means of taxation, inflation, and national debt. I would like to have the opportunity to choose between energy suppliers, because I would choose the energy supplier investing in alternative, highly-sustainable energy sources while maintaining the integrity of the environment. If one does not exist, I would like the opportunity to create such a company without government barriers. I do not support the government offering credits or subsidies to energy companies (like Solindra) because then these companies do not earn their funding voluntarily and have no incentive to produce results -- as we've seen. It becomes just another government program transferring money through coercive means to unaccountable individuals. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
4>4 Personal answerNo, and the government should never subsidize healthcare |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerAllow all people to move freely and do as they please to make a living, so long as they refrain from violating the rights of another. |

4>4 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Government Spending
4>4 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israel
4>4 Personal answerNo, we should not give aid to any foreign nations |

4>4 Personal answerYes, but open the digital communications market up to competition so consumers can choose the provider that gives them the best service for the best price while also operating the most ethically. |
Social › First Amendment
4>4 Personal answerGovernment should not issue currency, and all federal buildings and monuments should be auctioned off to private individuals. The proceeds should go to taxpayers in proportion to how much federal income tax they have paid throughout their lives. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
4>4 Personal answerThere are far too many factors at play to pass a blanket ban. One thing is for sure, the current systems of prison and law are monstrous and need to be taken out of the control of government bureaucrats and opened to market competition and scrutiny. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
4>4 Personal answerAllow all people to move freely and do as they please to make a living, so long as they refrain from violating the rights of another. |
Social › Euthanasia
4>4 Personal answerYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
4>4 Personal answerNo. The soft bigotry of lowered expectations does not help minority groups. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
4>4 Personal answerHurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
4>4 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
4>4 Personal answerTransition all educational institutions to a free market system, and let individuals voluntarily set prices for these services. |
Education › Common Core
4>4 Personal answerNo. Abolish the DOE. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
4>4 Personal answerI do not support the destruction of beautiful, natural scenery or wildlife habitats. I also believe people should be allowed to homestead and make use of un-owned property. I would love to see an energy industry that isn't manipulated by government funding/favoritism that operates via companies lobbying politicians with financial promises in exchange for operational privileges and taxpayer funding, which is transferred through the coercive means of taxation, inflation, and national debt. I would like to have the opportunity to choose between energy suppliers, because I would choose the energy supplier investing in alternative, highly-sustainable energy sources while maintaining the integrity of the environment. If one does not exist, I would like the opportunity to create such a company without government barriers. |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
4>4 Personal answerNo, and remove the U.N. headquarters from the U.S. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
4>4 Personal answerNo, government should not be involved in healthcare |
the Environment › Fracking
4>4 Personal answerI do not support the destruction of beautiful, natural scenery or wildlife habitats. I also believe people should be allowed to homestead and make use of un-owned property. I would love to see an energy industry that isn't manipulated by government funding/favoritism that operates via companies lobbying politicians with financial promises in exchange for operational privileges and taxpayer funding, which is transferred through the coercive means of taxation, inflation, and national debt.

Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
4>4 Personal answerNo, and the government should never be allowed to seize private property |
Foreign Policy › Torture
4>4 Personal answerNo, it's ineffective and inhumane. Additionally, we should phase out all State-run defensive organizations such as the military as private institutions are created that are voluntarily funded and subject to market forces and scrutiny. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops

Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes

4>4 Personal answerNo, we should stay out of Middle Eastern conflicts |
Science › Space Exploration
4>4 Personal answerNo, the government should not fund any space exploration missions |
the Economy › Offshore Banking

the Economy › Property Taxes
4>4 Personal answerNo. Eliminate all forms of taxation. |
the Economy › Pension Reform

the Economy › Bitcoin
4>4 Personal answerNo. The government should play no part in the currency market. It should not issue currency or determine which currencies are legal or illegal for use. |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
4>4 Personal answerNo, I don't support any government involvement in commerce as it skews incentives, reduces individual accountability for executives. Free markets are the best (and the only ethical) way to achieve greater equilibrium within global markets that benefit businesses, their employees, and consumers alike. |
