Ten policy issues we must pursue if we value liberty
1) Embrace, enable and defend the free enterprise system. Provide businesses with a fair and predictable regulatory environment to encourage risk-taking and competition.
2) Establish a simple tax system with a flat rate that only taxes income one time. Watch as entrepreneurs put capital to work and our federal treasury revenues grow.
3) Reduce spending at all levels of government. Address the structural issues in our entitlement programs, which are draining more and more of our government budgets. Shrink the number of employees at all levels of government. Remember, governments don’t produce; they consume.
4) Ensure our defense of liberty by making our military strong. Make our foreign policy clear and unmistakable to our enemies.
5) Recognize that America must lead in the world so that liberty, security and prosperity are secured at home.
6) Enforce the existing immigration laws. We are all from somewhere else but we are united by our common, shared ideals and language. A bedrock principle of our system is the rule of law.
7) Empower parents to makes choices for their children’s education. Encourage competition and accountability in the public education system. Return the power to the states and the local communities for education.
8) Listen to the people. America remains a republic of “We The People.” We reject a centralized, top-down approach in Washington…no matter what party is in power.
9) Pass “Term Limit” legislation. Our representative republic was not designed with the intention of creating career politicians. Elected officials should be “reluctant servants” who return to their personal careers after a robust but short term of service.
10) Encourage and respect the vital role that family and religion play in our society. These civil institutions can provide better “welfare” for individuals more efficiently than government can – or ever has.
