I want Trump to win, just because my values align more with republicans.I don't like the man because he used a lot of rhetoric which could cost us the election and because he made this election more polarizing than it needed to be.
I do agree with some things that he says, though.
-Border control.There are genuine threats that may come from the border in its current state, like drugs, violent people, terrorists, it needs to be secured better.No, I'm not talking about the stupid wall which would cause more trouble than benefit and would disrupt wildlife.I am talking about using technology like sensors to help the border patrol function in a more efficient manner.Also no I am not a racist for wanting a secure border,(nor are most people that support this issue) I actually overstayed my visa when I came here and was still here illegally until just 3 years ago.
-Military investment.Believe it or not our military really is becoming obsolete.Russia and China are so close to us, probably even surpassed us technologically already, we only have the strongest military because of its sheer size.Besides, when we invest in the military we not only invest in security, but we also create millions of good jobs.
-Refugee vetting process.Even though most of our recent terrorism has been from people that already resided in the U.S, I don't want any more people that could become radicalized(we have enough movie theater shootings as is...)I admit though I don't know much about this subject but I'm sure there is room for improvement.
-State rights.I am a firm believer in state rights, I have seen what a big corrupt government is capable of in Mexico and I do not want that for Americans.The U.S is such a massive country, it is absurd to think every state is identical.
-Taxes.
Taxes are what I care the most about,no I am not an asshole that only cares about himself.The current tax system is just ridiculous I paid close to $200k last year(would've been even higher if I had reported cash dealings) and in April I will have to pay even more this time, even here in Texas! Yeah, I do alright myself, but I also want my employees to do well.My plan when I started was to pay $15 per hour to set a positive example and to keep my employees happy so that most of my business would come from good word of mouth, those wages just weren't possible with our current business tax, had to settle for $12.Still, most of the activity I get from my landscaping company and my co-owned restaurant come from people that support small businesses, and because I stand up for workers.Trump's Tax plan is the only thing I completely support from him, I believe there are many people like myself that want to increase their wages, hire more people, expand but we just can't because the current business tax is killing small business owners.
Anyways, I am ok with either one of them,I did great during Obama's tenure, and people say Hillary will be the same so I'm not worried.I hope you guys get whichever candidate you prefer.
