North Carolina Congressional Election 2018 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Killing unborn and newly born children is sick. The Democrat party has repeatedly voted against The Child Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act (Jan 19 2018). So a child born alive from an abortion is still killed, and its body parts harvested by Planned Parenthood, paid with tax dollars-shouldn't PP have to at least share their blood money with the US Treasury since it was funded by tax dollars? Google that and google abortion and hit "Images" to see how twisted and soulless one must be to call it a "Choice" to murder babies. Margaret Sanger promoted abortion to kill Blacks. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending? | ||
| Reagan showed that cutting taxes from 78% to 28% created the greatest boom in our history AND record tax receipts by the government. The Kennedy and Trump tax cuts showed similar results. As people have more money, they spend more and businesses boom. People pay less tax, but there are many more people paying, hence businesses increase; we spiral up, instead of down as we saw when George Bush put a $10,000 tax on yachts and killed the yacht business jobs, and the jobs of the little people who carpeted, crafted, and serviced the yachts. Thou shalt not steal.. | |||
| No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| contributions are a form of free speech . Leftists in favor of regulating corporations, to be consistent, would have to regulate contributions from big Hollywood and their unions. Corporations are people, and they are free to express their views with their money. See my website: paulbonhamforus.org for thorough treatment of these subjects, and google Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, and Milton Friedman to hear articulate discussion of how communist it is to regulate the incomes and spending of citizens and corporations. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| YES. See what the Trump tax cuts have wrought! Thou shalt not steal except with a majority vote of Congress is NOT part of the 10 commandments. I believe in a flat federal sales tax which would be only on new goods: no IRS, no income or corporate tax. No payroll tax nor tax on used goods (they have already been taxed). April 15 becomes just another pretty spring day. People would pay the federal tax just as they pay their state tax (45 states have this mechanism in place) and the state and vendor each get .25% for collection. | |||
| No | Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards? | ||
| I believe in closing the Department of Education. I believe in vouchers for school choice so parents who aren't given a choice about their 16 year old aborting their grandchild may exercise choice in where their tax dollars are spent to educate their children (ie if a 16 year old is mature enough to choose to kill her child, even after birth, then her 36 yr old parents should be mature enough to decide where their tax dollars go to educate their children). Real competition in schools will force schools to protect and educate kids or go out of business. | |||
| Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Tax credits for phones, food etc is a form of government picking winners and losers and making the economy more communist. Many options compete for your phone and food dollars. But power companies have a monopoly over their customers--Duke Power just awarded its CEO a 21 million dollar bonus after asking to raise rates 16.9% the last two years in a row. I am the top solar consultant in the largest Solar Company in the Southeast, Energy Conservation Solutions. I believe the 30% Federal tax credit should be raised to 50% and made permanent. People deserve Choice in power options. | |||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. NO infringing. Notice there is never a shooting at a police station or a gun show? Notice our libraries and banks and political buildings have armed guards. Notice liberals don't want the same protection for our most vulnerable, our children. That is sick and crazy. The Department of Education was founded in 1980. We did not have a grade school shooting until 1999: Columbine Colorado (33rd least gun ownership state; Sandy Hook Connecticut 46 in gun ownership; Parkland Florida 41st in gun ownership). No shootings in states with strong gun ownership. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| Forcing people to buy something is tyranny. Liberty involves my choice to spend my money on what I choose. Allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines will create a competition and quality insurance. Why do liberals fight for choice to kill children, unborn and newly born, but they fight choice in school vouchers and health insurance and privatization of social security money? Because they are about power and control and killing, not life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ourselves and our posterity...yes that's in the Declaration of Independence. Our founders intended Federalism, state's rights and small government. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| Please see my website paulbonhamforus.org and youtube prageru videos and "immigration with gumballs" to see how idiotic one has to be to think we can accommodate even a fraction of the 5 Billion, that's 5000 million, people who make less than the average pay of a Mexican. If the US took in 50 million a year, every year for 100 years, we would only accommodate those 5000 million, not their offspring produced during that 100 years. Immigration is not the answer--these people must transform their homes, or pioneer new ones (such as those territories made available by wiping out ISIS. | |||
| No | Do you support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes? | ||
| Grow up. Trix are for kids and drugs are for losers and unmotivated people who lack the vision to see that each generation is responsible to maintain and improve our world for the next generation. Can you seriously picture Washington, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Churchill, Martin Luther King kicking back and hitting a joint--"Yo dudes, chill out. Let's let the world fend for itself for awhile while we hit some Mary Jane.." I think the British, the slave owners, Hitler, the KKK would have loved that intervention approach. The world needs real men and women, sober and energetic. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force in order to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a nuclear weapon? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increased American intervention in Middle Eastern conflicts beyond air support? | ||
| see paulbonhamforus.org. Killing ISIS, Hamas and other terrorist groups is vital, or they will destroy US and Israel. There is no compromise with subhuman cockroaches. Taking their lands and making them available to immigrants and displaced people will create a new frontier to beautify and develop (Arizona is not the only hot dusty place that can grow oranges and have swimming pools). I support giving our military real targets to practice on, such as ISIS and trying Hillary Clinton for crimes against the Espionage Act for deliberately setting up an unsecured server: LOCK HER UP AND TRY HER FOR TREASON. | |||
| I want to encourage everyone to read the Republican Freedom Calendar (google it) to see how the left has been lied to and deceived about the racist founding and ongoing policies of the Democrat party which founded the KKK and included lynching in it's 1924 party platform convention called the KLAN BAKE. Sick huh? I want people to read my website paulbonhamforus.org to see how public schools are deceiving our parents and children and brainwashing students to believe in Spontaneous Generation (which was disproved in 1661 by Redi and in the 1800's by Louis Pastuer---Spontaneous Generation=Evolution. NO God=NO Morals. |
