3. ...
1 - no.

2 - no. and actually they should be a good deal higher.

4 -- not at all.

5. .
Are you for cutting Social Security? - No. It should be raised in order to better provide an adequate safety net. It should be discontinued as a retirement plan.

Are you for keeping the tax rates on the wealthy? No. But don't really care what they pay just as long as it is not silly high or a lower percentage than what I pay.

Are you for a balanced budget? Yes. At all costs.

Are you for smaller government? Yes. More productive and effective in addressing government responsibility.

Are you for repeal of DADT? Yes. 10 years ago.

Are you for extending unemployment payments? Yes. On a strict case by case basis.

Do you support Nancy Pelosi's plan for middle class tax cuts only? Yes. But much larger cuts are needed IF they are serious about helping the economy.

6. Short form: No, No, Yes, Maybe, Heck yes, Heck yes, Yes.
Long form:

Social Security must not be cut, but rather bolstered up. A Supplemental Social Security Tax of 1/2% on all income above the FICA cap, paid for by the employee.

The wealthy don't pay their fair share anyway. Warren Buffet has told this himself.

Balanced budget - Yes. I'd prefer a budget surplus actually. Personally some constitutional laws should be passed to ensure that there is a slight surplus for each budget.

Smaller government: not in of itself. Shrink some areas, expand others.

Repeal DADT - heck yes. Also marriage equality, and also the notion of a "common law marriage".

Unemployment benefits - need a whole system overhaul IMO but in the immediate future yes extend.

Speaker Pelosi's plan for only middle class tax cuts - for the immediate future yes... Tax system needs changing IMO big time, and Fair Tax isn't the way to go.
