I wouldn't mind seeing back to back Black presidents

On health care, Carson said he would not roll back the Affordable Care Act and take away health care:

No. We need to take health care out of the political realm and actually come up with something that actually works, and I have proposed a system that actually works.… It will provide much better coverage than they have right now and they will not be second-class citizens.

On what he sees as the biggest economic issues facing our country – debt and income gap:

You see, the buying power of the middle-class and poor people going down. These things are increasing the gap. When people come along and say, ‘it’s the rich people. It’s their fault, and if we can take their money and redistribute it, somehow that’s going to solve the problem,’ that’s an emotional argument and it appeals to our lower elements but has nothing to do with reality…. Those are the kind of things that are killing the poor and the middle class. It’s those silly asinine policies. It’s not because of rich people.

On international relations under Carson’s leadership:

You’d see much more proactive stance toward someone like Putin. We’re going to be much more active throughout the whole Baltic basin area, Eastern Europe, we’re going to re-establish a missile defense program, we’re going to have more than one or two armored brigades in that area. We’re going to use our energy resources in an appropriate way … to make Europe dependent on us for energy rather than Putin. Put him back in his little box where he belongs.

So Carson plans on keeping to the system he calls "the worst thing since slavery?" What a terrible person.

Carson might be a good person. He's certainly an inspirational story and a testament to personal agency, but his policies will only further the problems he talks about here. You don't end income inequality by lowering taxes on the rich and raising them on the poorest. You don't bring peace when you bomb down countries. You don't raise academic success by cutting food stamps.
