Senior Citizens
Many strong programs have been
established for senior citizens in the past few
years. These programs should be maintained,
said BUI Bellamy. Efforts must continue to
keep senior citizens independent, productive
working members of society. Inflation, and
rapid increases in taxes should be carefully
monitored because of the fixed income
salaries.
Taxes
Taxes must be fair and equitable. Taxes
must continue to be based upon the ability to
pay. There is a limit to the amount of taxes
one should have to pay, and Bill Bellamy
supports the concepts behind Ballot Measures
6 and 11.
Crime
Crime in the rural areas in on the increase.
BUI Bellamy supports Capitol Punishment and
he would support mandatory sentencing of
criminals, especially for their second crime.
People must be assured of a safe place to live.
Welfare
Welfare, with all its good intentions, has
become one of the most abused Federal and
State programs. Public assistance should only
be given to those who are in need. Bin Bellamy
believes those receiving public assistance
should be required to work. Public assistance
should only be at a minimum level.
Working Man
The government must stop penalizing the
person who works. Too many programs assist
people to the point where it is easier to receive
public assistance than work. BUI Bellamy
believes many of the incentives for a person to
value working hard have eroded through
many government programs.
Education
Bill Bellamy believes a basic curriculum
includes solid reading, writing, and math
courses. Just as important, he feels our young
people should be prepared to be productive
members of society. English should be at the
primary level of education because all levels
are dependent upon the student learning the
basics early.
