Let's take that cookie jar back!

MAXtaxtomy(TM)- No Taxation Without SELF Representation

REPEAL THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT

I have a cure for the DC cancer. If money is mother's milk in politics, I propose MAXtaxtomy(TM).

We have gone from No Taxation Without Representation to High Taxation With Representation. Get ready – the time has come to drain the swamp! My tax plan puts the much-needed concept of "consent of the governed" back into the equation. We the People must take control of our tax dollars to save the republic. If you agree, then you’ll love my plan; it actually drains the swamp. As lofty as it may sound, if We the People can get behind it, we can repeal the XVI Amendment and bring the spending approvals to the taxpayers through their tax filings. Click here to read my policy paper on the topic.

ELECTION SECURITY

Elections are a joke in the USA

We need to:

Make Voter ID Mandatory

Abolish Mail-in Voting

Abolish Absentee Voting

Abolish Same-day Voter Registration

Abolish Ballot Harvesting

Bring Back 1-day Elections

Bring Back Paper ballots

Technology Free Elections (except basic scanners)

Must Have Finger Ink Markers for Voters

Update voter databases before every election

I know elections fall under the purview of the 10th Amendment, but we should have a standard operating procedure for the whole country. A fraudulent vote in California or anywhere in the country affects the whole nation. I wouldn't want to federalize elections, but we must have some sanity in our election process. Open to suggestions.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Cannot Handout Citizenship like Candy

Open borders [equals] open death sentences for Americans. Drugs, terrorists, cheap labor, criminals, and more are pouring in through open borders. They will destroy our kids, innocent citizens, and our workforce. I will support and vow to protect our nation’s borders, fight against lawless sanctuary cities, and vote against policies that aim to circumvent our laws for fair entry into this country. We need to stop chain migration and granting citizenship by birth to illegals. Granting amnesty to illegals is a slap in my face and many immigrants before me who earned their citizenship. eVerify must be mandatory for employment and rental properties. Violations should have financially punitive criminal punishments. Illegals should not be allowed to open business and bank accounts to make themselves look legit. Illegal immigration creates a backlog and delays processing for LEGAL immigrants. Illegal immigration has shot up to the third highest levels in 97 years under Biden’s first year in office. Millions of illegal immigrants are pouring over the border, resulting in sexual abuse of migrant children and an overall crisis for border communities and all Americans. A sovereign nation needs borders to protect people on both sides and I will prioritize border security.

MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY OMBUDSMAN

We need Mr. MAO For True Freedom of the Press

This is a cynical term I am using to call out the lame-stream media. MAO stands for Media Accountability Ombudsman, a position to ensure that media reporting is fair and accurate. Media, like most other noble institutions, has been hijacked by the Democrat party. The cloak of "freedom of the press" must be exposed.

This will not infringe on the Freedom of the Press. The media will be free to report whatever it wants, but as we know, media lies are exposed after a substantial period of time has passed. When those lies are proven, the media should be required to dedicate the exact same amount of time in the exact same time slots to correct their incorrect reporting. And as for punitive damages, the entity (including public figures) that was harmed by false reporting should be compensated with 5x the un-discounted advertising rate for those slots

MOΑΩN λABE

Thou Shalt Not Infringe On the Second Amendment

The right to LIFE means LIBERTY to carry.

We want to ensure our Constitutional right to own guns for self-protection and that shooting sports remain untouched, and I will defend the Second Amendment without apology or appeasement. Guns and ammunition must be tax-free and permitting must be fee-free.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Freedom Of - Not From

America without God is like a fish without water

A country firmly founded upon Judeo-Christian principles is being devoured by the anti-God Marxist ideology. IRS 501c3 status for religious institutions must be repealed, without repealing the tax-free status, to liberate them from talking about the implications of Godlessness in American politics. We must free pastors and religious leaders to lead the new liberation revolution in America like the Black Robe Regiment of the "Enlightenment Era."

DIVIDE & RULE

End ESG Scorecards & Critical Race Theory

Socialists are the most evil people. They create friction in a society where there was none before. No country, religion, or race is perfect, but rather than helping bridge the differences among people, the socialists will fabricate new divisions. Unrest is a must for socialism.

ESG Scorecards and Critical Race Theory should have no place in America. What part of "all men are created equal" do the leftists not comprehend? The history has been whitewashed with the help of media and academia. The Democrat party was racist then and they continue to "box" communities along racial lines. I intend to erase those lines and bring us together as Americans.

PAY OUR DEBTS

Life After Birth

We must continue to fight for the unborn, but shouldn't we secure a debt-free nation for them? Why should the unborn be subject to an insurmountable debt that they did not agree to? Why should they pay for our mistakes and indulgence? Please visit www.USdebtClock.org to see the eye-popping debt that We the People owe to Big Brother. Hopefully, this will convince you to take that cookie jar back from the Swamp City, D.C.

SCHOOL CHOICE

Zip-code Segregation Must End

The indoctrination camps must end. Democrats were segregationist back in the day, and they continue such policies today by locking minority communities into failing schools based on their zip-codes. The minority kids need to see life outside of the Democrats' hopeless surroundings. School choice is the answer. We need to go a step further and promote privatization of schools so that parents will have choices for their kids. The tax dollars will be allotted to students via their parents’ and guardians’ tax filings. It's a win for teachers and school personnel as there will be more, better-paying jobs.

TERM LIMITS

Sunset Their Careers

I personally have issued a pledge to limit myself to six terms when I am blessed to serve you. I will be a solid proponent of term limits at all levels of the federal government. I refuse to believe that we are so politically bankrupt that we cannot find decent men and women in this great nation who are willing to fight for the republic. The career politicians have made it dirty and expensive for We the People to enter politics, but together, we can break that glass ceiling.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE

Money Talks

Our votes really don't mean anything. Why do politicians change overnight after they enter the Swamp City, D.C.? The answer lies in "self-preservation." They need money for re-election, and so they sell their souls to rake in millions. This separates politicians from their voters, who become beholden to dark money. They move away from the principle of "consent of the governed" to "consent of the lobbyist." I promise not to add a dime to my balance sheet while in Congress. The only thing I might do is write a book about my political journey.

SMART PHONE ADDICTION

Smart Phone Addiction

Smart Phone Addiction: I am probably the only one who will dare to raise this question, but should we regulate smart phones as an addictive substance, just like alcohol? I am all for “Safety Phones” (call & basic text only) for kids and young adults. Smart phones with their addictive apps are a whole different beast. They are causing a host of mental, physical, educational, social, sexual, psychological, behavioral, familial and privacy problems in kids and young adults. Parents are getting peer-pressured to give their kids smart-phones, but if treated like alcohol, it will be deemed illegal to give kids smart phones until they are 21. Please share your thoughts.

WORKPLACE BULLYING

Take Them by the Horns

This issue is personal to me. My wife was framed by her manager, but it was cost-prohibitive for us to pursue legal action against the company. Did you know that supervisors/managers have legal protections called "qualified immunity?" They can falsify performance reviews, bully, name-call and humiliate employees with no adverse consequences. Employees cannot video/audio tape the abuse because it is illegal to do so. Companies find ways to lay the blame at the employee's feet to avoid legal liability. The employee has no legal recourse, or it is cost-prohibitive to seek the legal route. There are no workplace anti-bullying laws on books. A simple solution can change this: yearly ratings (e.g., Google Reviews) by the stakeholders so that any employee can override a vengeful manager.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Good Stewards of God's Creation

Socialism cannot be sold to a prosperous people. They must be made destitute and the climate change hoax is the gateway to socialism. Protecting our environment with common sense, ethical practices, and solid science is essential. However, "consensus science", pushed in schools, universities, and the media, have misled the public by promoting ideas based on opinion and agenda. I will support solid science, not activist ideas, to protect our environment. To implement socialism, prosperity needs to go, and global cooling/global warming/climate change has been the gateway to force socialism onto America. Draconian and regressive climate change policies will have a domino effect on the manufacturing, agriculture, and service sectors of the economy. It will cost millions of jobs, leaving people destitute. Bingo! They will be forced to accept socialism.

Family Pride Month

Traditional Family Pride Month from Thanksgiving to New Year

God, Family .....

The traditional family, with a married man and his woman wife, with children born in-wedlock, who believe in God and the nuclear family are becoming an endangered species. In these dark times, these families should be celebrated for living a virtuous life. They are a shining light of what God-prescribed "laws of nature" and natural order should be. Starting Thanksgiving, through Christmas and into the New Year, families are together for religious and other festivities. It is also a time when our children are out of school on a break. It can be a mid-year detox time to clean their brains of the dirty garbage they learned at school.

American Pride Month

Celebrating America

.... Country.

July should be designated and celebrated as an American Pride month. After the month of June and the end of the school year, July can be a woke-detox month for our kids and all proud Americans. Poaching by the actors in the grievance industry have made Proud Americans an endangered species. One way to promote a Marxist ideology in a country is to fabricate a grievance industry, so that unhappiness grows like weeds. Everyone is unhappy about something and everyone wants "them" to make "them" happy. Consequently, the pursuit of happiness is sought by making others unhappy. America gives you life and liberty, but happiness is a pursuit, not a guarantee. The ideals this great country was built upon need to celebrated; what better month than July![2]

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Think November. Think Electability. Think Beyond the Primary.

NC-06 is a very diverse district. I am a proven UNITER with a broad appeal in a district with a very diverse population. I have solid support from the minorities that will help me win in November against a Democrat. A man on a mission, who wants to assimilation and alliances between various faiths and people.

My broad work EXPERIENCE ranges from facilitating international joint ventures, to residential construction. Born and brought up in a farming family, uniquely qualifies me to understand agricultural and manufacturing sectors. I immigrated from a socialist country. I absolutely detest the socialists' model of high tax - high regulation business environment which prevents We the People from enjoying our life, liberty and pursue happiness.

I have tremendous respect and adoration for stay-at-home moms and home-schoolers. I can relate to their pain and joy because I was both, I gave up his career to be a stay-at-home dad and then home-schooled my three kids. Many people give lip-service to women's right and women empowerment, I actually walked the walk.

I do not want America to look like the socialist country I left behind, and that gave birth to my political activism in 2009. In 2009, I founded a TEA Party in NJ and successfully ran it until we moved to NC. My fight against socialism will not end until my last breadth.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Fighting for Land of the Free NOT freebies.Restore Our Constitution.Socialism sucks, I know I lived it.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

* Repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. Replace with TEA Act.

Limited constitutional government.

Low taxes, low regulations.

Free market capitalism.

Strong defense and law enforcement.

Stop the cultural decay from abortion to indoctrination.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

1. Marquis de Lafayette was foreign born but fought as an officer under General George Washington. He was a French aristocrat who fought in the Continental Army with the American colonists against the British in the American Revolution. Like him, I am foreign born and it is my honor and privilege to fight with American patriots in America's revolutionary war against socialism.

2. Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist and a political activist. She inspires me to free my immigrant and colored brethren from the Democrat plantation. Immigrants are not "feeble-minded", but simply lied to about America's glorious founding and the racist past of the Democrats. Like I saw the light, I am sure they will see America in a better light.

3. Martin Treptow wrote in his diary about WWI "America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone." Ditto! Private Treptow has inspired me to win this war against evil socialism.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Yes it's a documentary.

Deception Was My Job, by Yuri Bezmenov (aka Tomas Schuman). It is free on YouTube to watch

https://youtu.be/jbabq23UbGw

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Servant at Heart: Elected officials act as rulers, they are the servants of the people.

A debt free nation to our posterity.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

1975 - imposition of nationwide Emergency (Martial Law) by then the socialist Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi. I was 9 years old.

I vividly remember, Indira Gandhi stole the election, nationalized businesses and healthcare, took political prisoners, law-enforcement was corrupted, news media was controlled, mandated sterilizations (your body - their choice) for population control, there were shortages everywhere in every sector, inflation was through the roof. The misery index was the highest for the citizens.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Working on family farms since I was 14 years old, until I came to the U.S. in 1989 to do my M.B.A.

What is your favorite book? Why?

I don't live in fiction.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

God bless the USA by Lee Greenwood.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Seeing the erosion of once great country and the beacon of freedom by the leftists.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The qualities are enumerated in the the U.S. Constitution. The problem is that U.S. House of Representatives in possessed by the evil, as it stands right now.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Not necessarily. The Constitution does not mandate that. The more a person has experience in the government or politics, the more that person is detached from We the People.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

* Unsustainable debt.

Over dependence on foreign countries.

Open borders.

We need to be a sovereign nation again.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Education: so that we can get rid of the Department of Education. The control of any child's education should lie with the parents and with the local board. Not with a bunch of entrenched bureaucrats in D.C.

Finance: so that we can get rid of the cookie jar. That money if the honey that has destroyed this great nation.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Actually, three would be better so that we can get some things done. Representatives always seem to be in the reelection mindset after getting elected.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits are a MUST. But more importantly, we need to take the "Cookie Jar" away from the Swamp City, D.C. That in itself, will resolve a lot of issues with the corrupt political class aka the ruling class. See my plan on how we can take the cookie jar back.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Not really, I will charter my own course.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Yes.

I knocked on a door of a voter (mom) and a young girl in her low to mid twenties opened the door. She was probably just getting out of the bed around lunch time. I introduced myself and handed my flyer to give to her mom (who was at work). This young girl looked at it, and said "I have no hope for the future." She narrated all the cultural decay talking points, and said that probably her mother would agree with me but she did not believe in any of the stuff written on my flyer.

It broke my heart, this young girl, was far luckier than I was, to be born in this great nation. At her age, I came to the US with new hopes and dreams, and here she is indoctrinated to death with no hope in the best nation God gave men! We have to take our youth back, we have to take this country back!

Tell us your favorite joke.

Let's Go Brandon!

C'mon man! He IS a JOKE.

Compromise with the devil? Absolutely not.

There is only right and wrong.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Yes, all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. However, we must adopt my TEA Act to bring consent of the governed back in the equation, to allow We the People to pass each spending item.

Please see my TEA Act proposal on my website. And when you visit, there is a DONATE button there. Click it, take your wallet out, and make a donation .... please.

Elections are a Joke in the USA

Democrat politicians are like coward terrorists - they use innocent minority voters as human shields to carry out their evil act of sabotaging elections. It is so insulting to consider minorities as "incapable" of getting a simple thing as a Voter ID.

In a developing country such as India, with its more than 1 billion people, many of whom are uneducated and poor, there are no anomalies such as mail-in-voting, absentee voting, same-day registration, ballot harvesting, and other irregularities that Democrats want in this first-world nation. In India, they also have voter-IDs, one-day elections, and election-ink markers on voters' fingers to prevent double voting. We need to ask our first-world politicians to stop acting like third-world dictators.

We need Mr. MAO For True Freedom of Press

No Justice, No Republic

Socialism needs unrest. Lawlessness is a prerequisite for implementing socialism. Corrupt law enforcement creates the wrong people as the "haves" and hardworking law-abiding citizens as the "have nots." As a nation, we are doomed if this course is not reversed. I will support reforming the DOJ and SCOTUS, which will interpret the Constitution as written and represent all people fairly. Law enforcement activism ignores the rule of law, instead creating legal precedent based on the opinions and values of individuals and partisan judges. We also need to limit justices and DOJ employees from mingling with influence peddlers in the country clubs and keep tabs on their meetings with political figures. It is known Supreme Court justices are part of the elite country clubs, requiring initiation fees of $100K or more, and monthly dues running into five figures. All on a salary of just $275,000? How can they afford that? They have nothing to sell but justice.
