2. Stricter punishment reduces crime	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.
3. Marijuana is a gateway drug
4. Higher taxes on the wealthy	Strongly Oppose The income tax and the IRS should be both abolished. Lower and flatter taxes are the good first step.
5. Stimulus better than market-led recovery	Oppose Cutting taxes and reducing regulation is the means to recuperate from the Great Recession.
6. Vouchers for school choice	Strongly Support Government's role in schooling should be limited. State-funded vouchers should pay for private schools, charter schools, home-schooling, or whatever schools parents choose.
7. Make voter registration easier	No Opinion This question is not counted in the answers for any candidate.

12. Support American Exceptionalism
13. Absolute right to gun ownership	Strongly Support It is a basic Constitutional right and expresses the principle of self-defense against violence.

16. EPA regulations are too restrictive	Support Human needs come first, but it's ok to use natural resource for sustainable development.
17. Keep God in the public sphere	Strongly Support Belief in God is what America was founded upon, so religious organizations, or praying in school, does not violate the separation of church and state. Religious institutions should be involved in welfare or education.
18. Legally require hiring more women & minorities	Support Benefits of diversity should be considered. The government should prosecute companies that discriminate against women and minorities.
