Hello, My screen name is Breakout because I ride a 2014 Harley Davidson Breakout. I am, as you can see a former US Marine. I served two tours in Vietnam in special operations at Marble Mountain in Vietnam. I am a conservative independent, last election I voted for Mitt Romney. I believe in a smaller and less controlling Federal Government. I strongly believe in lowering taxes and letting the private sector dictate and direct our economy, not the government. I believe in fewer regulations and more accountability, more transparency and less government spending. I believe in a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility. I believe in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. I truly believe the reason America is great is because of it's people and their hard work, ingenuity and generosity, not the government. As you probably have guessed I am not a big fan of Obama nor his corrupt administration. I was proud to fight for my country and be a Marine but I was disappointed to be spat upon by fellow Americans when I returned from combat, I was called a baby killer, a murderer. I just did my job and I was lucky to come home alive. I am an electrical power engineer and I work for one of the Fortune 100 companies in the US. I work hard and pay my taxes, which are considerable. I own a home and my wife also works hard every day. We both love America and I consider myself very lucky to be an American and in the U.S.A. I look forward to some lively debate and I look forward to meeting many of you here.
