Political Belief Statement
8/28/15
Our American government should be there to help the citizens of the United States. However people have the right to live their lives without interference from the government. Sometimes it seems that the government tries to hard to regulate the lives of Americans. While the wealthy should pay more taxes in order to help the poor it should not be necessary. As Americans, the wealthy should have a moral obligation to help less fortunate citizens to benefit from government programs and other services that are important to living in the US, but they should not be obligated by law as generally they have worked hard to be in the fortunate situation they are in. All US citizens should have the right to vote. While one vote does not swing a direction, citizens have the right to choose who they want affecting their lives in the government. Also all should have the right to marry legally no matter their sexuality. Love is love and all should be able to solidify that love through the meaningful bond of marriage. Finally all deserve the right to freedom of speech without fear of consequences. All deserve the right to voice their opinions if they do not threaten the safety of any people. Without this right, America’s “claim to fame” of freedom for all would be misleading .
