Five Questions With Max Burns
Five questions with Max Burns
Kyle Dominy interviews Federal District 12 Candidate Max Burns (R)
Q) What is your definition of an “effective Congressman?”
A) Someone who represents the people and his constituents, someone who understands who they are and where they are from. I have an opponent that grew up in Athens. I grew up on a farm. He (Barrow) doesn’t live here. He has an address here. He doesn’t know the difference between round row and Round-Up. He cannot effectively represent this district.
Q) On your website it is stated on the issue section “An honest tax code that is simple, fair and less burdensome to families and small business is something Max supports.”
What is your definition of a tax code that is “simple, fair and less burdensome?” How do you plan to make it a reality?
A) I have supported every tax cut. I support simplification and fairness. I support the flat tax. The IRS is a disaster. It is time to quit fiddling around the edges and create an environment that works and I think we can do that. We have to lay all of the options on the table and we have to move America forward.
Q) One hot button issue in America is gay marriage. What is your stance?
A) I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. I challenge you to go check my opponent’s record. My opponent stood up and said that gays and lesbians were the Civil Rights Movement of our day. He busted me for supporting a traditional marriage amendment. This is a guy that goes to a gay and lesbian rally in Savannah, Georgia, in 2004 and wears pink pants. If you’d like to see the picture, I’ll send it to you.
Q) You have accused your opponent, John Barrow, of wanting to take away tools necessary for fighting the war on terror. What is your opinion and stance of the war and how it should be handled?
A) We have a tough challenge and we cannot ignore this fight. If we abandon the Middle East, the terrorists will come to us. We have to use every tool at our disposal to stop the terrorists. We have to work effectively with international intelligence; we have to collect intelligence domestically. I recognize that we must protect our civil liberties, but the number one challenge we face today in 2006 is the security of America. We must use every measure at our disposal to secure this country.
Q) You won the seat in 2002, but then lost it in 2004. How do you feel about the 2006 election?
A) I’m ready, is it November 7 yet?
