This is the interview with the presidential candidate Kyle Norton who is running as a Democrat.
The recording of the interview is below.
Interviewer : How do you plan to fix the economy?
Kyle: Well, I plan to fix the economy with a combination of deregulation of business, which will free up more capital for them to invest in the business and make more goods and services and more jobs and as well less taxation and put more money in the pockets of normal everyday Americans who will then buy more goods and services and add more revenue to the business as well and it will be able to create more jobs and so on in a cycle for economic growth.
interviewer: How do you plan to fix the increasing student debt in the U.S?
Kyle: I believe that student loans should be capt at a certain amount . I don't believe that students should just be allowed to get themselves further and further into debt. I believe that the government should still be able to offer student loans for our less advantaged to go to college, but i still believed it should be capt at a certain amount.
Interviewer : How do you plan to fix the housing market?
Kyle: I believe less taxes on housing market as well as deregulation of the industry not to the point where they are repeating the practices they use pre-economic crash but I think that some deregulation is needed. I think a lot of punitive regulations were put on them, and I do believe that we need to remove the regulations that that were there to punish them, as well as increase taxes.
Interviewer: so what about the banks? Do you want to deregulate the banks?
Kyle: Definitely Deregulate a lot of the banks I feel like they can be trusted I feel like they learned their lesson because last time they did this it was bad for everybody so I feel like they are getting more responsible this time. Not completely deregulate but defiantly takeaway some regulations. As well as just less taxation.
Interviewer: what’s your view on Immigration?
Kyle : I do believe we are too hard on immigration in this country I believe strict immigration laws have created illegal immigrant problems and I believe that looser immigration laws and make coming into this country easier is really what this country is about at its core and that anyone can come in and make a life of themselves here and we should be more all-encompassing than “we only want Americans to stay in” because anyone who comes to America can be an American so I think that more legal immigration is good for this country and allow the immigration problem to really be fixed.
Interviewer: What about the children who were raised in America who were children of the illegal immigrants?
Kyle: If they were born in America they are an American and they should stay and collect benefits. As well as pay taxes however if they weren’t born here and are not citizens they should be deported along with the rest of their parents. I know that sound like I don’t have a heart but I think ultimately it will be good once we get the illegal immigrants back to where they came from. And we loosen immigration laws it will be much easier for them to come back because I think the reason they are here is that they don’t have the money for all the visas we require and it’s almost a ten year process to get here so once we loosen that it will be much easier to come back here.
Interviewer: What about the dream act?
Kyle: I don’t support the dream act because I feel granting amnesty is not the best option. Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants to immigrants that have been here for over 10 years. But I believe most illegal immigrants don’t belong here if they don’t pay taxes. I do believe that making a clear path for illegal immigrants living here to become citizens. However I think they should follow the same immigration laws as the person staying in Mexico. I feel like if we offer amnesty to just absolutely everyone and make it easier for illegal immigrants to stay in the country than normal immigrants we increase the number of illegal immigration will increase rather than decrease.
Interviewer: Where should the US role be in the world?
Kyle: I think that the Us has too big of a role right now I don’t think we should be the world police force. I do believe we’re the strongest country and we should be protective and devoted to our allies but I don’t think we need to be this global police for democracy I believe America’s role is mainly in America right now. I don’t believe we need to bully other countries for not sharing our values. I feel like that creates problems and creates bad situations
Interviewer: What should we do about the countries affected by the Arab springs?
Kyle: I think its great that other countries are making a move towards democracy obviously the best form of government but I don’t think that we should contribute military forces. I don’t think we should contribute a lot of that, I think financial aid if anything we have to judge if we want to give that government money or not. And eventually establish normal diplomatic relationships with them but I don’t think we should directly help countries establish a revolution.
Interviewer: So you believe in the heart of America is at home?
Kyle: I think where we need to be right now is that America needs to be focused on themselves and not being the world’s police force. I think we have a lot of problems here that we need to solve now and we cannot worry about those problems there I do believe we have issues overseas but we need to be focused on America.
Interviewer: What about Iran?
Kyle: I think Iran is directly threatening to our ally Israel but I don’t believe we should intervene military and I think trade sanctions are the way to go because Ahmadinejad has been anti Us so he is an enemy of the united states but I don’t think we should go to war I believe sanctions are the way to go and a peaceful negotiation will occur from this. I am really hopeful about the situation.
Interviewer: What should the US role be in Israel?
Kyle: I think Israel has been a faithful and loyal ally to us and I think that needs to be rewarded I think I wouldn’t be as in favor in how much military aid we are giving them right now but financial aid to support their programs. I feel like they are a good Ally to the US and its something that really needs to be invested in.
Interviewer: What should the US do about Medicare and medicaid?
Kyle: Medicare and Medicate are vital programs they don’t need to be scrapped but they need to be reformed, cut back, and made so that we don’t spend as much money on it I believe we need to incentivize health care providers with tax breaks to get their cost lowered so that it is easy for the average American to afford health care and I believe medicade needs to be around because no one is gonna watch out for the very poor people in the US but I think it should be around and need to cut down n because there is a lot of abuse in the medicate system and a lot of people who receive care needs a lot of benefits that really don’t need that much and I think we can make cuts their without scrapping the whole system.
Interviewer: What about universal health care?
Kyle: I don’t think the government should provide healthcare to everyone. I believe health care should be provided to people who absolutely need healthcare like the poorest of the poor defiantly medicate is a good program but Medicare is a little bloated and we need to cut back but universal health care should not exist. I feel like the market will drive the price of Medicare down if we stop regulating it so much. And taxing it.
You believe in more of reform rather than wiping out a program. No No, I am not for scrapping Medicare or medicaid I am just about spending less money on them.
Interviewer: So you want to privatize?
Kyle: Definitely privatize I would like to repeal Obama care as its commonly call because when the government enters health care it could obviously cut costs lower than all the other health care providers because it doesn’t need to make money off that industry it needs to make a profit off taxes. When it cuts all the prices off of healthcare all the other providers go out of business and free market health care providers suddenly lose all their sources of revenue and that’s less jobs for the American economy and we will only have one government health care provider which isn’t good because competition naturally drives down costs and if the government controls health care its not going to lower the cost, it is going to set it. I believe the fluidity of the free market healthcare system is much better for the American people than the government run health care system
Interviewer: What’s your view on same sex marriage?
Kyle: Homosexual people are citizens of this country and deserve to be treated as such and there is some major injustice going on and they are not treated as equals and not just marriage but other rights are being stripped away and I don’t believe that’s fair And I believe that every citizen has the exact same rights whether its sexual orientation race gender anything. I believe that homosexual marriage should be recognized by the states and I think it looks bad on America that we don’t embrace progress, not progress necessarily but we don’t change our views according to what society changes as I think that we need to acknowledge gay marriage as well as also giving gay people the same rights as straight people. Its just top priority for me right now.
