Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Transportation › Public Transportation
H>H Personal answerNo, and we should privatize more public transportation services |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
H>H Personal answerNo, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to |
the Economy › Taxes
H>H Personal answerReform to a flat tax, or a flat tax for income after poverty level, and raise poverty level to the amount of money needed for a reasonable standard of living for someone with average financial literacy. Teach financial literacy in school. The lowest income I can consistently find people online living comfortably with is $7k, with some DIY skills. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
H>H Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
H>H Personal answerYes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
H>H Personal answerNo, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
H>H Personal answerYes, and use the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interests |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
H>H Personal answerYes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
H>H Personal answerNo |
Science › Nuclear Energy
H>H Personal answerYes, measures have been taken so it is now one of the safest sources of energy. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
H>H Personal answerYes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
H>H Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation. Until then, they have forfeited their rights by breaking the law, and should not be allowed to vote if they are willing to hurt the country like that. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
H>H Personal answerIncrease |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
H>H Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Healthcare › Stay At Home Order
H>H Personal answerNo, but people who know they have coronavirus should be required to stay at home, be given extra assistance if needed, and be charged for negligent manslaughter or something similar if they disobey and it results in someone's death. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
H>H Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
H>H Personal answerYes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time. I've heard of many people happily living on $7k per year despite having much more (even being rich). However, this does require some time to aquire skills for DIY. So $24k may be more reasonable for people without those skills. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
H>H Personal answerWhatever the Constitution says. It is an inspired document for our government. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
H>H Personal answerYes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
H>H Personal answerNo, we should not decriminalize drugs, except under supervision of a medical professional, and we should I clude mental health education in schools to teach alternatives to calming yourself with drugs like marijuana. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
H>H Personal answerNo, but allow donations from unions and non-profits |
Social › Death Penalty
H>H Personal answerYes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
H>H Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics |
Crime › Private Prisons
H>H Personal answerYes, but prisons should be standardized and reformed according to available research on reforming prisoners. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
H>H Personal answerNo, but they should not tailor the political advertising to only show to people who agree with it. This will increase political polarization and lead to war. |
Social › Euthanasia
H>H Personal answerNo, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
H>H Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Fracking
H>H Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Marijuana
H>H Personal answerYes, but only for medical use |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
H>H Personal answerDecrease as much as needed to prioritize our own needs. We don't want to be so stretched thin that we are easy pickings. |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
H>H Personal answerIncrease, and better prioritize mental health. Often, military members' psychiatrists are told not to diagnose them with conditions they have, because then the government would be required to pay to help them with the disorder, and the budget isn't big enough for that. |
Social › Abortion
H>H Personal answerPro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. These quotes from Mother Teresa sum up my feelings about it: "Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child." "Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants." "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." "The so-called right to abortion [...] has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters" And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." "But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts." |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
H>H Personal answerNo, this violates the Amendment about doing trial twice.They should keep the sentence they got. But I approve of alternatives such as house arrest, and I certainly approve of training community service, given there are no opportunities for child abuse, stealing, etc. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
H>H Personal answerNo. I believe that the writers of the Constitution were divinely inspired (I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I personally believe (not a church opinion or anything. My own) that the reason they said only land-owning men should vote was to prevent the uneducated from making bad voting decisions. While I believe that women and non-property owners should be allowed to vote, I think it is wise to find a way to preserve the original intent. So perhaps voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote. This should NOT include calling certain OPINIONS right or wrong. |
the Economy › State Ownership
H>H Personal answerThat is fine, but the government should never be the majority stakeholder |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
H>H Personal answerYes, but people should be allowed to opt out. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
H>H Personal answerNo |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
H>H Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote |
