The Issues!
Dr. Eric Schansberg is:
1) The only fiscal conservative in the campaign
-
Given their voting records, my opponents can only offer empty promises of fiscal restraint or a more credible promise to increase taxes or to continue to finance their spending with increasing government debt (and thus, future taxes).
2) The strongest defender of the poor and those in the middle class
-
Republican politicians exhibit little interest in the poor. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians pay lip service to these two groups while advocating policies that work against their interests—from womb to tomb: in government’s monopoly provision of education; the immense burden of payroll taxes on poor and middle class wage-earners; and the pathetic rates of return to Social Security as an investment.
4) An Economics Professor and Public Policy Analyst for 17 years
Both of the major political parties claim to work for “the people”. Instead, they’re busy using the power of the federal government to benefit and pander to special interest groups—and to ignore key issues while trying to score cheap political points against their opponents. Don't settle for voting for 'the lesser of two evils'.
Most politicians like to make empty campaign promises—“I’ll fight to lower gas prices” or “He’s getting things done for us” or “I’ll work hard to bring good jobs to Indiana”—while advocating policies that work against these goals or encouraging us to think that the federal government can solve all of our problems. Don't waste your vote this time!
