In 2008 there will be another round of presidential primaries, but with more than a year of the primaries there is an almost unknown candidate, John Cox of Illinois. John Cox is a businessman, tax attorney, and author. Who at 50 has had two unsuccessful attempts to occupy a post in Congress in 2000 and in the Senate in 2002, believes that this is the right time for him to try to take control of the Executive. Cox at this time has been gaining support in political circles in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Iowa.
In his book Politic $, Inc., Principle, Nonprofit, Why We Need Statesmen and Not Career Politicians, he makes clear his views on career politicians who have installed themselves in Congress for life. In his book In Politic $, Inc. he draws on the fact that politicians are more concerned with their personal power and wealth than with the well-being of the people or the state of the nation. He reflects on his past relationship with tax officials, who seem not to know that they are public servants.
Cox offers solutions to many of the government’s problems such as runaway spending, runaway train syndrome that we have regarding social security administration, healthcare, and the ruined education system. This is blamed on politicians who prefer to take the path of least resistance rather than the sometimes more difficult solutions, and all this for political gain. Therefore, abandoning the opportunity to correct some of our most pressing problems.
This book can be the driving force for an electorate in search of a true conservative leader. In his letter, Cox states that he believes term limits should be implemented. This would solve the problems of legislators who cannot show political restraint.
Cox, whose mother was abandoned by her father when John Cox was a baby, opposes abortion on demand and has strong feelings against amnesty for illegal aliens. This businessman is a strong supporter of a high-tech missile defense system to deter other nations from carrying out a nuclear weapons program. He is strongly committed to following a plan to improve education, health care costs, and environmental improvements that would be acceptable and fair with minimal interference from bureaucrats.
