Justin Magill, Constitution Party, Candidate for Attorney General
The government has done a lot of damage to our economy through the use of fiat currency, inflation, setting interest rates, and high taxes. Inflation reduces the buying power and value of incomes and savings, and transfers that value to the government to redistribute according to their agenda. This distorts the market and reduces efficiency and prevents individuals from saving assets. On top of this distortion and destruction of the economy, the government also puts barriers in the way of entrepreneurs trying to participate in the free market. Not only does government steal value from citizens with inflation and debt practices, but it also steals property directly in the name of taxes and “potential” crimes by asset forfeiture. To prevent this economic destruction, we must return to silver currency and gold reserve to prevent the government from inflating our currency and return government back to the limited purpose of securing our individual rights.
Housing costs keep increasing with increasing inflation; and people’s ability to pay for housing keeps decreasing as government continues to steal the value of their income and savings. The demand for housing has been increasing exponentially as a flood of illegal aliens has entered the country. The government must end inflation and return to silver currency and gold reserve to provide stability to the market. The border must also be secured, and the illegals deported.
Slavery is forced labor. No one has the right to force someone else to work for them, therefore, Healthcare is not a “right” as it requires the labor of others. The cost of healthcare has become prohibitive because of insurance company/government relations and government Medicaid/Medicare/ social security programs. Making healthcare affordable again is a matter of getting government out of the way and returning to a free market system. Just because government should not be involved in providing healthcare assistance, does not mean that communities should not offer programs. Local, voluntarily funded programs can provide better assistance, with less fraud, waste, and abuse, than bureaucracies are able to do. Healthcare providers can provide better, cheaper services in a free market without the heavy restrictions and regulations.
Immigration must be limited, or else a country’s character will take on the characteristics of the foreign country. If America loses its identity of limited government and personal responsibility, the world will lose its beacon of Liberty. America is currently losing its identity and needs to halt ALL immigration and deport all those here illegally. Once America has regained a sense of itself again, immigration should begin again in its limited manner.
Every human being has an inalienable right to life, liberty, and private property. The purpose of government is to secure those inalienable rights. To terminate an innocent human being without due process of law is to commit murder and should be punished accordingly by government.
PA Constitution Article 1, § 21. Right to bear arms. The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned. The right to self defense is inherent in the right to life. To limit (or question) the right to self defense in bearing arms, is to limit the right to life. Government has no authority to limit or restrict gun ownership, and it violates the rights of Pennsylvanians when they act unconstitutionally in this matter.
Every citizen has the right to peaceably enjoy their private property without pollutants from others disrupting that use. It is the purpose of government to secure our rights and to mediate interstate relations in this regard. Government does not have the right, nor the authority, to violate the rights of individuals. To violate the rights of citizens here for the advantage of other countries not only violates the purpose of government but makes our government the very thing it is supposed to be protecting us from.
The LGBTQ community has the same rights as every other individual, the rights to life, liberty, and private property. What is being demanded in the question is preferential treatment. Sports are divided biologically because a male is generally bigger and stronger than a female. To protect women, sports have been separated. To place a biological male in women’s sports is to give a preferential advantage to the male that places women in danger. Sports are separated by biology for a reason and should remain separated for that reason. Marriage is statutorily recognized because it provides the best environment for children statistically speaking. To elevate another pairing to the same level as marriage is to give preference to that pairing above its statistical level. Physically mutilating children is child abuse but the LGBTQ community is demanding to be able to do so without consequences. Slaver was outlawed by the Thirteenth Amendment, but the LGBTQ community is demanding that bakers and pastors work for them whether they want to or not. Government should not be offering preferential treatment to anyone. The purpose of government is to SECURE our God-given rights to Life, Liberty, and Private Property.
The only thing required to lower the cost of education is to get government out of the market. The easy loans and grants offered by government drove up the prices on higher education. Added to that the push for everyone to attend higher education facilities has created generations buried in debt. If no tax money went towards higher education, the free market would provide the education needed at an affordable price to those who were going to use it.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.
