Bruce Rauner (Republican)
PLEASE SHARE!
My personal values are formed based on strong ethics the emphasize continuous learning and honest work, on my military USMC service to this country and on the fact that I was born and raised in socialist country which system I hate with passion, also on the fact that my family lived under Nazi occupation, concentration camp, etc., and that armed militia was keeping the enemy away from the forested mountains. In one of my family houses (my aunt) in mountains they did not have a German showing for 5 years of occupation because armed militia.
Personally, I want my government to share my work ethics, not my wealth. Long live the Republic.
My Political outlook?
- FEDERAL (Congress) should be Libertarian (as founding fathers intended)
- STATE should be Republican (as per constitution Art. 4, Sec. 4)
- LOCAL laws should be Democratic (you cannot get along with majority of your neighbors, move out!)
- STATE should be Republican (as per constitution Art. 4, Sec. 4)
- LOCAL laws should be Democratic (you cannot get along with majority of your neighbors, move out!)
Politicians and voters should remember the above, there is no ONE fits ALL!
About issues:
- You want to increase the minimum wage in Illinois to be higher then in other states? I worked at minimum wage, too, cleaning offices, selling in a hardware store. Just know that people in other countries WILL BE WILLING TO WORK for $7 per hour. THINK what will happen to manufacturing jobs, what will happen to prices of food and services that POOR people rely on.
- I strongly believe that that EVERYONE should have a chance for FREE university with high academic (not sports) standards. If you are good you get free degree and contribute MORE Tax money back to society, if you don't make grades you are out. Alternatively, we can import smart people from other countries and export manufacturing jobs, where does it leave Americans? Jobless, or in school debt that is $100,000 to $240,000 depending on the school and degree.
A short lesson from Constitutional History:
The Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless it is a Republic. Our Republic is one dedicated to "liberty and justice for all." The first ten amendments to the Constitution, called the United States Bill of Rights, guaranteed certain natural rights fundamental to republican ideals that justified the American Revolution.The people have natural rights instead of civil rights. The people are protected by the Bill of Rights from the majority. One vote in a jury can stop all of the majority from depriving any one of the people of his rights and freedom; this would not be so if the United States were a democracy. In Democracy individuals have duties and obligations to the majority-elected government. In Republic the government has obligation to protect the rights of every individual. These ideas seem similar on the surface but that is what makes a difference between places like USA and communist and socialist states there people lost their "natural right" freedoms in name of the ideology.
Refresher on United States Bill of Rights
- Separation of government and religion. Every person has a freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition to the government of any grievances. You cannot be persecuted by government because you believe in different God, or you voice your opinion that your government is doing a bad job, or your assemble to make a peaceful demonstration (see Ferguson, Mo. 2014, where reporters were arrested for just being on the location)
- A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.. USA was born from an American Revolution that overthrew a legal, yet oppressive colonial government with use of Private Citizens militia. Our founding fathers wanted to ASSURE that, while the regulated military is necessary for the country, the PEOPLE should have enough military power to defend themselves from the future foes both domestic and foreign. This is not an interpretation, there are multiple document quotes from our funding fathers that explain the purpose of this essential right.
- No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
"I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians."
- George Mason (father of the Bill of Rights and The Virginia Declaration of Rights)
