America need a significantly changed taxation system. And the one that I’ve advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy. If you give me a tithe, it doesn’t matter how much you make.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Because 9/11 is an isolated incident. Things that are isolated issues as opposed to things that fundamentally change the United Sates of America and shift power from the people to the government. That is a huge shift.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Country Government Issues
If we set our priority “the removal of all risk”, we’ll soon have sterile, stagnant, and unstimulating learning environments.
BENJAMIN CARSON

Environment Priorities Risk
My mother told me if I work hard and I really believed in American principles and I believed in God, anything is possible. That’s why I’m not anxious to give away American values and principles for the sake of political correctness.
