Whoever wins the nominations of their respective parties, I have a number of questions for them:
1. Will you, or will you not make the Bush Tax Cuts permanent?
2. Will you, or will you not, lower taxes? Will you get rid of the Estate Tax and lower or eliminate Capital Gains Taxes?
3. I don't like Social Security. I pay into my own IRA and I have a diverse investment portfolio of my own. Can I opt out of Social Security? And if not, why not? Doesn't the 9th and 10th Amendments protect my right against this sort of confiscation of my hard-earned money?
4. I don't like Medicare. I don't like paying for other people's health care, especially of those of whom I do not know. Can I opt out of Medicare? And if not, why not? Doesn't the 9th and 10th Amendments protect my right against this sort of confiscation of my hard-earned money?
5. After reading the Constitution thoroughly, I do not see where it says that the Federal Government can put tax dollars toward education. Will you eliminate the Department of Education and reduce educational spending at the Federal level?
6. Some of you campaigned on providing Universal Health Care. Can I opt out of paying for it if I don't want or need such services? And if not, why not? Again, aren't my rights against such taxation protected by the Constitution?
7. What are you going to do to deport criminal illegal aliens? How are you going to enforce America's immigration policies?
8. How do you intend to protract the war on Terror so that we achieve a decisive victory against Islamofascism?
9. What sort of judges do you intend to place on Federal Circuit and Supreme benches?
10. What are you going to do about rampant earmark spending?
