Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • Taxes: The many tax cuts I've seen come and go since I started in the CPA profession in 1984 have all had the same basic idea: Cut taxes for the wealthy and some economic stimulation will trickle down to help the rest of us.
  • Social Security: I propose that after someone has drawn out what they paid into the system (with interest), that their payment be need based.
  • Economy: What America in general (and Western Maryland in particular) needs are good paying, productive jobs for working men and women. The kind we once had and mostly exported overseas, often to countries that don't even like us!
  • Illegal Aliens: It's my belief that the Democrats take the long run view that eventually they (or certainly their children) will be U.S. citizens and that they will by in large vote Democratic. I also believe that big business (which has too much influence in the Republican party) takes the short run view and views them as a source of cheap labor and a way of keeping down wages for the American worker.
  • Energy, Jobs & the Mid-East: The exact figures of course change daily. But the most reliable recent figures I found show that the U.S. imports nearly four billion barrels of oil a year. Of this, around one billion comes from the Mid-East (Canada is actually a much larger supplier). Coal liquefaction is a process whereby coal can be converted into oil (more on this below).
