* THE WAR ON DRUGS
Calls the war on drugs "insane" and says it should be stopped
immediately. "When I was young and there was a big, expensive government
program that didn't work, people would call for ending it."
* GUN RIGHTS
Criticizes incumbent Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach) for his
lack of support for gun owners. "He's very tepid in his support of 2nd
Amendment rights." The Libertarian argues that gun control laws don't
prevent criminals from accessing guns and that gun ownership benefits the
weakest members of society. "It's an equalizer between criminals and
victims."
* FOREIGN POLICY
Calls for the United States to pull out of most of its foreign
engagements. "Foreign meddling breeds hatred and distrust and causes the
very kind of terrorist attacks Americans are now starting to see."
* FEDERAL TAXES
Argues that the federal income tax could be eliminated and a
scaled-back version of the government could be operated solely on the
basis of corporate taxes, licensing fees and other revenue sources.
