| Collapse all
- I am an America first American. I believe our country and our people must be taken care of first and foremost. Throughout history America has been a giver and I’m not saying we should stop but we need to take care of ourselves before we have nothing left to give.
- There are many issues I am truly passionate about such as social security. I don’t believe that our parents and grandparents who have worked all their lives should be struggling to make it day to day. Throughout time taxes have devastated social security along with taking the funds dedicated for social security and transferring them to the general fund. This must stop I along with many Americans have faith in the American dream where you work hard start a family live and prosper with them after you will be able to support your self with funds you all pay into. Sadly in todays society when you retire that’s when the struggle begins.
- Regardless of whether you are republican or democrat I believe we are all Americans. The most amazing thing is we all live together with different views or religions and we are accepted with no fears of repercussions. America is true harmony. Just because I have the republican tag on me does not mean that I wouldn’t fight for every single American no matter your age race political affiliation or religion. We are all one in this society.
