I like his views on voting . . .
This is an election year, so how are you
voting?
You have to vote for the candidate who is most pro-life. That’s
the fundamental issue that underlies everything else. Without life, there are
no other issues to discuss. Some people say that other issues are just as
important as being pro-life. Being for the poor is mentioned as one of them.
Well, who is more poor than a baby? Who has less power to care for himself?
Obviously, being pro-life is
being for the poor.
Beyond that, if you take an adult poor person, the best way to
help him is not through a remote bureaucratic system, but through local and
personal assistance. Individuals, churches and private charities help the poor
much better than the government can. They’re more effective, efficient and
enduring. Not to mention, more compassionate.
Being for lower taxes and less regulations is compassionate as
well, because then you allow private citizens to follow their dreams and carve
out their own paths. The less government interference there is, the more job
growth you get. It’s really quite simple. You allow businesses to grow by
getting out of their way, and then everyone benefits, especially the poor.
We don’t need so-called “investment” from the government, which is
only taking more of our tax money and pumping it into programs that don’t work.
We need real investment, which means less taxation and regulations on private
citizens, so they can start or expand their businesses, which in turn means
more jobs. This is the truly compassionate thing to do, because then each
individual can develop his God-given talents and contribute to the common good.
Mitt Romney is the presidential candidate who gets my vote — and
in every other race, it will also be the person who is most pro-life, who
respects the dignity of the human person and wants to see each of us have the
opportunity to succeed.
