Mike Huckabee on the Issues:
Secure America Plan:A 9-Point Strategy for Immigration Enforcement and Border Security. Implement a broad-based strategy to enforcement of our immigration lawsEducation and the Arts:I believe that every child should have the opportunity for a quality education that teaches the fundamental skills needed to compete in a global economy.Faith and Politics:My faith is my life - it defines me. My faith doesn't influence my decisions, it drives them.Health Care:We don't need universal health care mandated by federal edict or funded through ever-higher taxes. We do need to get serious about preventive health care instead of chasing more and more dollars to treat chronic disease, which currently gobbles up 80% of our health care costs, and yet is often avoidable.National Security/Foreign Policy:Iraq is a battle in our generational, ideological war on terror. General Petraeus and our troops are giving their all to provide a window of opportunity for the Iraq government to succeed, while the Democrats are running for the exit doors. |
Taxes/Economy:Our current progressive tax system penalizes us for working harder and becoming more successful. As we climb the ladder, the government lurks on each rung, hungry for a bigger bite out of our earnings. The FairTax is also progressive, but it doesn't punish the American dream of success, or the old-fashioned virtues of hard work and thrift, it rewards and encourages them. The FairTax isn't intended to raise any more or less money for the federal government to spend - it is revenue neutral.Sanctity of Life:I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. My convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. I believe that Roe v. Wade should be over-turned.Energy Independence:The first thing I will do as President is send Congress my comprehensive plan for energy independence. We will achieve energy independence by the end of my second term. |
