Office of Senator Goldwater - Open for questioning!

[DC Al Fine]

Thanks Goldwater. You'll be getting a good preference in the election.

[Goldwater]

Remember, keep those questions coming!

[Deus Naturae]

What is your opinion on the current state of the federal income tax? Ideally, what do you think Atlasia's federal income tax structure should look like?

[tmthforu94]

What is your opinion on human cloning?

[Flake]

Do you think we should abolish the minimum wage, raise it, or keep it as it is?

[Goldwater]

What is your opinion on the current state of the federal income tax? Ideally, what do you think Atlasia's federal income tax structure should look like?

Ideally, I would like a flat income tax. However, based on the political realities in Atlasia (and real life, for that matter), I consider a progressive income tax a given and would more realistically like to see a reduction in the number of tax brackets and reduced tax rates across the board whenever possible.

What is your opinion on human cloning?

i have no problem with it, as long as the cloned humans are considered equal to every other human under the law and are given the same rights and freedoms.

Do you think we should abolish the minimum wage, raise it, or keep it as it is?

Ideally, I think it should be abolished. Realistically, I will be defending the status quo against any attempts to increase it.

beastality?

[Goldwater]

beastality?

I strongly think that it should remain illegal.

Has anyone asked about eating dogs?

[Goldwater]

Has anyone asked about eating dogs?

Nope, not yet. I will refrain from comment unless/until someone does, but I am pretty sure if you look hard enough I said something about it back when everyone was talking about it.

[Sec. of State Superique]

How would you define yourself ideologically? Are you a traditional Conservative? A Libertarian one? Or none of those two options?

And what is your opinion on my proposal of the Fritzcare Card?

[Goldwater]

How would you define yourself ideologically? Are you a traditional Conservative? A Libertarian one? Or none of those two options?

Somewhere in between the two, I suppose. I consider myself more libertarian on social issues, such as gay marriage and marijuana, and hawkish on foreign policy, which I assume is more in line with what you refer to as traditional conservatism.

I'm actually not familiar with it. Can you elaborate?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Good job. I know that you will represent our party well.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Congrats on your victory. As long as you follow my agenda, no questions asked, you will be just fine in the senate.

[tmthforu94]

Congratulations! I look forward to working with you!

[windjammer]

Congrats, glad to see a hawk in the senate !!!!

[Supersonic]

Congratulations Goldwater! Great to see a sound voice in the Senate! Apologies that I couldn't vote for you, I was away during the election.

[President Tyrion]

Welcome to the Senate!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Congrats on your victory, man.

[Goldwater]

I need to start remembering to use this thread.

Anyway, in case you didn't know, I am running for reelection! If you have comments, questions, or concerns, feel free to post them.

[sentinel]

Endorsed!

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

For some reason I thought you were retiring.

High preference.

[Goldwater]

Remember people, my office is always open for any questions you might have.

[Deus Naturae]

Given that our current national health care system is apparently broken, what reforms would you propose to the Atlasian health care system?

[Goldwater]

Given that our current national health care system is apparently broken, what reforms would you propose to the Atlasian health care system?

To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure. Just a few months ago we passed a bill to modernize and streamline the system, and we are currently working on a bill to reform the system even further. So at the moment I can't think of any further reforms to make.
