Fighting for Seniors, Social
Security & Medicare
Social Security and Medicare are not voluntary programs. They are based
on involuntary confiscation from every paycheck with the promise that
people will receive benefits when they retire. The government does
enough lying and stealing. It shouldn't play people for chumps by
taking money from workers for 50 years and then fail to uphold its
promise. These are earned benefits.
• We must repeal and replace Obamacare, which robbed
$700 billion from Medicare.
• Robbing people of the benefits they have
contributed is not a solution – it's an escape.
• 20 percent of Medicare spending is waste, fraud and
abuse. We must protect Medicare and prosecute fraud.
• We must grow the economy and ensure everyone is
paying into the system.
As President, I will protect Social Security and Medicare. I will kill
anything that poses a threat to the promises we have made to America's
seniors.
Abolishing the IRS — FairTax
We need the FairTax.
• The FairTax brings trillions of dollars in offshore
investment and manufacturing back to the United States - creating
millions of good jobs for American workers.
• The FairTax is the only plan that lowers everyone's
tax rates, untaxes the poor, broadens the tax base, and helps protect
Social Security and Medicare.
• The FairTax is the only plan that guarantees
criminals, illegal immigrants, and all who operate in the underground
economy pay their fair share - not just hard working Americans who play
by the rules.
• The FairTax is the only plan that guarantees
Washington bureaucrats don't have access to your personal financial
information.
I cut taxes nearly 100 times as governor, including the first
broad-based tax cut in the history of my state. It's time for
Washington to wake-up because America's tax system is badly broken and
beyond repair.
Firearms, Freedom & the Second Amendment
The Second Amendment is the last line of defense against tyranny and
must be protected.
I was the first governor in America to have a concealed handgun
license, and I'm a lifetime member of the NRA.
As President, I will:
• Defend the 2nd Amendment
• Oppose new gun control laws
• Protect the rights of gun owners from Big Government
• Oppose new gun restrictions, registrations,
regulations & mandates
This issue is crystal clear. Abolishing guns because of reckless
abusers makes as much sense as abolishing cars because some people
drive drunk.
I'm a lifelong deer, duck, turkey, and pheasant hunter. But the Second
Amendment isn't about hunting – it's about preserving all the rights we
possess as American citizens. Washington needs to understand this basic
truth.
America's Heroes — Our Veterans
My first act as President will be to end the national disgrace of
failing to properly care for veterans who sacrificed so greatly for our
country.
America's soldiers deserve first-class treatment and top-quality care –
anything less is unfair, unacceptable, and simply unAmerican.
As President, I will:
• Fix the VA and give our heroes greater choices. We
must hold VA hospital officials and government bureaucrats accountable.
• Solve the disability claims crisis and inexcusable
wait times.
• Empower our veterans with permanent careers,
purpose, and a growing economy – not temporary programs or government
gimmicks.
• Fight for mental health awareness, treatment, and
suicide prevention.
Priorities matter – our nation must make sure the first fruits of our
treasury go to those serving in uniform.
Protecting America From Enemies & Evil
From Christian decapitations to radical lslamist victory marches,
crisis and chaos is erupting across the world. The Obama Administration
lacks moral clarity and common sense.
We must:
• Rebuild America's military
superiority. The best way to avoid conflict is to build a lethal
fighting force so strong and powerful that no one would dare mess with
us.
• Restore our role as leader of the Free World. Our
enemies no longer fear us and our allies no longer trust or respect us.
• Reject Obama's crisis-management approach to the
world. We need a President who will accept responsibility and lead.
• As President, I will lead with moral clarity in a
dangerous world. Moral clarity is the foundation to our economic and
military strength.
There is a difference between right and wrong, good and evil. I will
keep all options on the table in order to defeat the evil forces of
Radical Islam.
