SCHOOL CHOICE
School choice is about a fundamental right for parents to have access to an educational environment that serves their children best. I believe taxpayer dollars should fund all educational options. Rhode Island parents, and parents across America, should have a wide range of high-quality schools to choose from, like traditional public schools, charter schools, private and religious schools, or virtual learning online. Let the money follow the child.
CORRUPTION
To preserve our democratic Republic and the suffocating grip of concentrated big-money, I support the 28th Amendment (H.J. Res. 2) in Congress:
Section I. To advance democratic self-government and political equality, and to protect the integrity of government and the electoral process, Congress and the States may regulate and set reasonable limits on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elections.
Section II. Congress and the States shall have power to implement and enforce this article by appropriate legislation, and may distinguish between natural persons and corporations or other artificial entities created by law, including by prohibiting such entities from spending money to influence elections.
Section III. Nothing in this article shall be construed to grant Congress or the States the power to abridge the freedom of the press.
The FAIRtax
Allen Waters believes the ultimate tax reform is eliminating the federal income tax. Allen supports H.R. 25, The"FairTax Act": "To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States."
The FairTax is economic rocket fuel. Replace the federal income tax on both individuals and businesses with a national retail sales tax on only new goods and services; advance rebate the sales tax monthly for all citizen households up to the poverty level, so it does not hurt the poor; and close the IRS.

2ND AMENDMENT
Waters for U.S. Senate strongly supports the 2nd Amendment, private gun ownership, and enforcing existing laws. We all have a God-given right to self-defense as backed by the Constitution.
HIGHER EDUCATION
Anytime the government injects itself into the free market between buyers and seller, such as helping more students be able to pay for college by applying for government back loans, it creates market distortions. And, let’s face it, after more than several decades of college costs rising, often well above inflation, the result of the stimulus created by liberal lending policies is U.S. higher education is one of the greatest bubbles in modern times. Students and families continue to take on higher and higher amounts of student loan debt to pay for, what is almost mandatory today, a college degree. Of course, the hard reality is some college majors are more lucrative than others in terms of future income potential and career growth. Less financially rewarding majors leave many American college graduates saddled with debt that takes many years to pay off.
One of the ways to reduce the inflationary effect of government-backed student loans on rising college costs is to phase the government out of student lending, leaving it to the private sector.
As the future congressman, I don’t advocate free tuition which only shifts the burden of cost to taxpayers who are forced to comply. I do believe that free market forces without government intervention, such as government backed student loans, will force colleges and universities to align their pricing and affordability to the ability of students and families to pay.
VETERANS
There are few things more shameful in America than the sorry state of Veterans Affairs today. From the waste, fraud and abuse, to the seemingly never-ending news of poor treatment of the men and women who have served us in the Armed Forces. America belongs to the people, and it is time for our elected officials in Congress to do the business of the people and clean up the swamp of poorly managed government departments like VA.
