Iraq:

Supports market-based reforms, including individual medical tax deductions, and elimination of regulations that make providing insurance unaffordable for small business. Wants to shrink government involvement in health care, and enhance private decision-making.

Says Americans are underemployed, and government statistics mar the real truth about the economy. Supports wholesale tax and spending cuts; elimination of the income tax and shrink the influence of the Federal Reserve.
