Hello again all, my name is Jake Matthews and I'm running for Northeast Assembly. The reason I have decided to run is because I feel my government and legislators are a bit out of touch with me as a citizen. I have posted this poll to get a feel of what Northeast citizens would like to see improved and/or created in order to make their lives simpler, easier and better. As many of you know, I'm running on a platform of Governmental transparency. However, I have not made clear my stances on other issues. So I'll take advantage now.
Social Policy:
I am a social liberal, I support a woman's right to choose, but I do not support governmental subsidies. I also support a couple's right to marry, whether they be two women, two men or a man and a woman, love has no boundaries. I am an adamant advocate (a bit of alliteration for all my writers and poets out there!
) of the legalization of marijuana, with a tax and heavy regulation.
Economic Policy:
Simply put, I am a fiscal conservative with moderate capitalist tendancies. I support lower taxes for every Northeast citizen, regardless of income. I also support removing Atlasia's current system of universal health care in favor of a private, Free-Market system in which citizens may choose their own care. Finally, I am against regulation of businesses in many cases and I am also a supporter of free trade with the exception of trading labour. Your job will stay in the Northeast if I am elected to the assembly.
If there are any other issues that you would like to know where I stand on, feel free to comment and I will respond ASAP.
Thanks for your time!
