Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Faddis' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Size of Government: Government is too large, too expensive and too intrusive. It is not the role of government to manage all aspects of our lives or to redistribute income and ensure equality of outcomes. Our government needs to be reduced significantly in size and refocused on its core functions.
  • National Debt: Our national debt is out of control and growing exponentially each day. We are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. We need to balance the budget, and we need to do it now.
  • Taxes: Taxes are too high. Our tax system is also far too complex and far too inequitable. We need to replace the existing system with one that is simpler, flatter and fairer. We also need to significantly reduce the overall tax burden, which is crushing the middle class and stifling economic growth.
  • Role of Government in Society: This is a nation founded on the principles of individual freedom and individual responsibility. It is not government’s job to peer into our bedroom windows, tell us how to raise our children and make decisions about how we will live our lives. Government needs to focus on protecting individual freedoms not restricting them.
  • Effectiveness of Government: Not only is government too big and too expensive, it is wasteful and inefficient. Huge amounts of money are consumed by redundant layers of middle management, inefficient contracting practices and red tape. We need to refocus government on its core functions, and then we need to replace the existing, bloated bureaucratic structure with one that is flatter, leaner and more efficient.
