Candidate for
United States Representative; District 30; Libertarian Party

Health Care I believe that individuals - not the government - should have control over acquiring health care for themselves and their families, thus I am opposed to the health care bill that Henry Waxman and Congress forced on the American people. It will raise taxes, increase government spending and lower the quality of care. I support the elimination of the existing employee based system in favor of a private market system with medical insurance that remains with people regardless of their employment situation. This will drive down costs and make it easier to purchase affordable insurance.

Economy I am a free enterprise advocate who believes that the government should not takes sides in determining economic winners and losers. The governments role is to be a referee that establishes a fair opportunity for all Americans to live out their version of the American dream. Lowering taxes can encourage economic growth while raising taxes stifles growth, weakens the economy and puts more people out of work. Our economy works best when individuals have more of their income to spend, and businesses have money to invest and add jobs.
