The episode was over 2 hours long and we broke the interview up in two Parts, A and B. In Part A will I lead the discussions with some general questions about who John is, his, childhood, and started to explore his platform and his plans for America. In Part 2, we continue the interview but included several recorded questions that a few individuals asked me to put to John. In Part A, we learned from John that 1. the student interest deduction is crap, because as long as you’re paying student loan, you shouldn’t pay back taxes. 2. His company, AI Tax is now valued at $180, 000, 000 (AI Tax stands for Artificial Intelligence in terms of Tax planning). 3. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats messaging is usually based on the “heart” while the belief is that the GOP bases its arguments on logic and legality. He suggests that there needs to be a balance or a middle ground, and that’s what we need someone who can bring people together and bridge the political and racial divide. (Which in my estimations can only be resolved by “stop thinking Race.” He stated that he is at a very unique position given his experience with life on all sides. He responded to a question I asked: How do you plan to improve social services while being fiscally responsible? He replied saying that this is possible because as a young man that is of the twenty-first century he has found leveraging technology, as a way to realize those two goals since he has done it with his business which has grown rapidly in just a few years. He went on to say this facilitates the ability to spend less and generate more. On the matter of information, security and privacy, he promoted the idea of a “Digital Force” like the military and various branches that prospects various aspects that can pose threats. In fact, he states that the 4th Amendment needs to be extended to private companies, so that private individuals can now sue if these companies violate their users privacy and security. What was really telling and interesting was his view that Trump should not be banned from Social Media because this threatens free speech and states that we must explore other ways to discipline individuals who cause insurrections, which he discusses more fully the issue of Trump in Part B. On the issue of anti trust, he believes that these laws need to be enforced including enforcement of anti-monopoly laws, & asserted that monopolies are against the de-centralization of power & underscored the importance of the Human not as a Resource, But as Talent, for then we will not think of the human as a way to discard, for then he the human would be treated as family. We explored the issue of Energy Independence which he is one of his platform plans, where he believes that we have a responsibility as stewards of God’s Earth. He stated that the GOP, use to be known as the party of Environmentalism & Teddy Roosevelt. But that the GOP got derailed equating environmentalism with “Tree Hugging,” which I have said is a result of the poor messaging & the issue of language which John alluded to as well. He stated that on the issue of drilling, we must develop a prudent way of transitioning from coal & oil to solar energy. One way to do so is to grow the super structure, or grid, for the more we grow it, the more we can slowly do without oil & create innovative ways of producing energy that ultimately saves the planet. But it’s a process. In Part B, we submitted several questions from the public who recorded questions for Mr. Castro. One powerful result came from a question posed by Zion, a young Philadelphia resident asking about what are you doing to promote POSITIVITY, and to move the country forward. John stated that “we all love this country but we all disagree on the means and the goals. Bridging this ideological Divide is the most important aspect of my campaign, Obama tried & failed, because he had power but did not have the courage to use it! … Https://thenoliberal.com
