2016

The following issues were listed on Katz's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • National Defense: We must rebuild and modernize our military; unfortunately our strategic thinking is outdated and we don’t care to update it. Our old doctrine was based on notion of strong retaliation. Today country urgently needs to build comprehensive system of prevention. We are giant with still powerful fists but with naked vulnerable ass. America is a great country but it doesn’t give it the right to make a great mistake.
  • Fight with ISIS: Our politicians have no plausible recipe how to handle swain flu of Muslimo-Fascism. ISIS is not a terrorist group, they are not radicalized Muslims; ISIS is a worldwide Muslimo-Fascist Movement with global ambitions. It is mainstream fundamentalism with a divine goal - invasion in our civilization, destroying humanity and progress. It’s a synthesis of cannibalistic ideology, blind faith and liberation ideas. ISIS is acting exactly under order of military manuals - Koran and Hadith - under influence of their role model the “perfect man” MohamMAD, messenger of blood thirsty Allah. We can’t win against the Satan of slavery with only rockets and bombs. We have to waive our banner with our God, it is Liberty. We must tirelessly promote values of our civilization and never give up.
  • Economy: Elimination of all business taxation will revive economic activity, entrepreneurship, American Exceptionalism, decrease unemployment and debts. Necessary abolish of the IRS and introduce consumer taxes. Elimination of draconian taxes and prohibitive regulations (the Bush administration implanted 1,500 different types of laws and rules and Obama implanted close to 2,000 rules and laws) will drastically improve business climate.
  • Illegal Immigration: has always been a problem for America, ask the Native Americans. Of course, Illegals broke the law, they undermined the sovereignty of the United States; but our border has open holes and some of the government officials invited illegals to come and work in our cities. To arrest and send back 15 million illegal immigrants is an idea produced by sick brains. Millions of kids of illegal immigrants who is a matter of fact are lawful citizens, someday will come back and bring hatred to their Motherland, which abused their constitutional rights. Of course, illegal immigrants have to pay the price for their wrong doing, but law abiding, hard working immigrants must be given permission to stay, work, and pay taxes.
  • Obamacare: is a socialist weapon of mass destruction and must be replaced. Today our medicine is double in price to all other civilized nations. We have to consider Singapore’s medical system.[7]
