I believe America is for Americans. I believe no other country should have influence of America or its elected officials. Zero. I believe in hard work. I believe in merit. I believe in personal responsibility doing your part, handling your business and building a life you're proud of. I believe it should be a hell of a lot easier for people to earn and keep their money than it is right now. You shouldn't have to work three jobs to support your family. You shouldn't be taxed into submission by a system that punishes producers while rewarding the lazy. The government's job isn't to strangle prosperity, it is to protect the freedom that allows it. I believe in equal opportunity...not equal outcome. You should be free to go as far as your work ethic & skill can take you and when you do, that should be celebrated, not vilified. I believe in helping people up when they fall. I believe in trying your hardest and getting back up when you stumble. I believe in being kind, but not soft. I believe in being honest, but not hateful. I believe in raising the standard in your own house before trying to fix the world with hashtags, slogans, and performative outrage. When you win, you should be respected. When someone else wins, you should be clapping. We've lost that. We need it back. I believe in freedom of speech, especially when it's offensive to hear. Let all views be heard and let things sort themselves out. I believe in having a sense of humor, in laughing at each other. In disagreeing without having to burn someone's whole world down. I believe in harsh and swift punishment for violent crimes. I believe we're being manipulated into fighting each other so we never notice how bad we're all getting screwed. I believe most people, regardless of politics, want the same basic things: to be left alone, to raise their families, to live with purpose, to make money and to chase what matters to them without apologizing for it. I believe who you are is built through your actions, not the labels someone puts on you. I believe strong men raise strong families and that fatherhood, discipline and masculine leadership should be honored, not attacked. I believe the people elected to represent us should be held to a higher standard not just when it's convenient, but always. I believe in building people so strong they never need to be rescued by the system again. I believe we should all take privilege of being American seriously and our lives should honor those that came before us and inspire those coming after us. That's the America I believe in.
