There should be a more complex background check, however, to make sure that people with mental illnesses and people with criminal records can’t get their hands on guns. It is unconstitutional to take away citizens' guns as it infringes on their basic rights. ]]> 2017-12-01 00:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/212114839 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214872983 Social security should be privatized. People should be in charge of their own retirement funds, and it should not be federally mandated.]]> 2017-12-11 00:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214872983 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214873058 Everybody should be required to have a photo ID to be able to vote. This protects against voter fraud, and contrary to many people's beliefs, voter ID laws are not discriminatory in any way towards any group of people.]]> 2017-12-11 00:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214873058 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214873431 10% flat tax: we believe that everybody should be taxed the same percent, with no graduated income tax or higher percent for the wealthy or a lower percent for the poor. People shouldn't be penalized for making more money.

For example: States should have different alcohol consumption age limits because then they can see which one is the best and the other states will follow. Also, circumstances vary depending on where you life in the country, and more state laws can account for that better than federal laws. Things like immigration and defense, however, should be handled by the federal government.]]> 2017-12-11 00:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214873540 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874073 Abortion is murder, plain and simple. Abortion should only be legal when the mother's life is in danger.]]> 2017-12-11 00:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874073 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874098 There are only 2 genders. This is a scientific fact. But, people should have the right to their own opinions. The issue of gay marriage should be left up to the states to legislate. Churches shouldn't be forced to marry LGBT people if it's against their beliefs.]]> 2017-12-11 00:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874098 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874368 The use of recreational drugs should not be decriminalized. Things like the medicinal use of drugs and the drinking age should be left up to the states.]]> 2017-12-11 00:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874368 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874476 Instead of making America number one in education, we should focus on giving extraordinary students the chance to excel, instead of bringing everybody to the same level. For example: although people like Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Edison had very little education early in life, they both went on to accomplish extraordinary things during their lifetimes because they had the freedom to do so.]]> 2017-12-11 00:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874476 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874670 Illegal immigrants should not be given any benefits under the law of the United States. They should be given the opportunity to apply for citizenship, but if not they will be deported back to their own country. Legal immigrants should not be deported if they commit a crime, but they should be given normal punishment under the law just like any other citizen.]]> 2017-12-11 00:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/214874670 ethan_tocco https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/215236473 We believe that there should be a lower minimum wage; If an employee is unsatisfied with the wages they are earning, they can seek a new job or appeal to their employer for a higher pay. Companies should have the freedom to pay their employees whatever they want. If the minimum wage is raised, then companies will have to fire people to be able to keep up with the mandatory pay of their employees.]]> 2017-12-11 21:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ethan_tocco/6pqwenycw9a9/wish/215236473
