Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban

the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerYes. Perhaps federal minimum wade should be pinned to the earnings potential (including salary, bonuses, and stock options & holdings) of C-suite executives in the company. If the company does well then proportionally the gains should not be concentrated at the top. By increasing expenses relative to success perhaps this will also help stimulate competition and cripple monopolies. |

the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |

8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerYes, taxes should be based as a percentage of income and designed to scale with raising income so those making more are paying relatively more. Close tax loopholes so people cannot avoid taxes via capital gains taxes or acknowledging their income as being held and made outside the US. If you live here, if you are a citizen, and if you want the right to vote you must pay taxes. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying

Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
8>8 Personal answerYes. Covered in High School and as presented as a theory / part of a greater curriculum focused on discrimination as it occurs globally across cultures. Everyone has the capacity to be racist / discriminatory regardless of your race, orientation, or beliefs. The topic should be aimed at addressing the underlying biases that created the current situation (so it can be fixed) and not at exasperating the situation by reinforcing "us" and "them" dynamics in our society. We are 1 people of diverse backgrounds, what caused what we are experiencing today and how can we fix it without perpetuating the problem? |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerI do not know. A more educated populous would be good for society, but this raises greater questions on how this would be enforced to avoid abuse by the existing system. How has this worked for other countries that already do this (Germany & Italy)? In my experience living abroad young people are generally better educated, but they still experience higher levels of unemployment or underemployment given their level of schooling. Would this actually decrease the costs of education or raise the bar for what people need to be considered for an entry level job? |

Healthcare › Marijuana
8>8 Personal answerYes |

8>8 Personal answerNo, the federal government should not fund sanctuary cities. however the federal government cannot ban sanctuary cities since this is within the jurisdiction of the states and cities involved.

8>8 Personal answerNo provided: tighter regulations and monitoring of this pipeline and others is put in place and enforced to better protect our natural environments and higher fines and financial responsibility for recovery are leveled (and cannot be contested) against companies associated with the pipeline in the event of an accident.

Foreign Policy › Terrorism
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
8>8 Personal answerYes |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerSuspected terrorist, no. Suspect should be captured with the assistance and approval of local sovereign state, questioned, and tried. Assassination should only be considered as a final result / option if sovereign state is hostile / uncooperative and the individual has thus been tried in absentia and found guilty given the evidence at hand, i.e. irrefutable proof that the suspect has committed, abetted terrorist acts against the United States or is currently planning an immanent attack. Sadly I don't see our country doing this because of the amount of time & resources it would take and the risk of warning the suspect if we approach the sovereign state and they disagree with us (see Pakistan...). |
Science › Space Exploration
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › China Tariffs
8>8 Personal answerI support duties that would equalize companies' abilities to externalize costs in foreign countries that companies operating here cannot (e.g., producing goods more cheaply because workplace safety is not maintained, workers are not treated fairly, operations are allowed to pollute in other countries at no cost in ways they cannot do here, etc.) |
