Goldwater positions overview on key issues
In a brief survey Goldwater opposes a nuclear test ban but seeks treaty changes and could consider withdrawal. He supports UN as a peace forum, seeks voting power shifts for larger nations, backs military aid with economic concerns, and opposes aid to Communist states. He ponders redefining diplomatic ties with Russia, supports strict civil rights enforcement, rejects 1964 tax cuts but backs revenue reform, and favors safeguarding Social Security while opposing new aged care burdens. He opposes federal aid to grade schools but would aid parochial schools if granted, and favors TVA downsizing and privatization where federal role is minimized.
