10. Describe your philosophy of government in 100 words.

Our goverment should enable good citzens to live peaceful, constructive existences without unnessesary burdens of interventions, taxation or requirments that are unrealistic. It should follow responsible economic guidlines, be efficient, eliminate waste and choose right priorities in distribution of funds. Some citzens should not be neglected in favor of others. Goverment leaders should be above reproach cultivating a heart for people's needs - not focusing on special interest groups. Goverment should encourage those who do good and punish those who do wrong. Our constitution should be adhered to; recognizing the wisdom of our founding fathers and seeking the blessing of God.
