David Barton, a Tea Party activist and historian popular among numerous religious right, has said that the idea of retirement is a Pagan concept and against Biblical teachings. Bush said employers should not discriminate based on sexual orientation, but he would leave such laws up to states.

But he added that there’s an “intersection of your concerns and the concerns of people of faith acting on their conscience”. Bush has previously said that following the Supreme Court’s ruling in June that legalized same-sex marriage in the United States, the matter is settled and Republicans should move on from the issue. You just did – here (and maybe it’s available noplace else).
“You rate your Uber driver, your stay at a hotel”, he said recently.
Jeb Bush appears to have split from the Republican viewpoint on LGBT rights – backing non-discrimination laws that his own party has fervently opposed.
The Bush campaign recently announced it has raised more than $114 million, and Bush has out-raised all other candidates so far ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
After the visit, Bush took Uber again, to a fundraising luncheon in Silicon Valley.
The post came a day after a judge fined Uber $7.3 million for not giving state regulators information about its business practices, including when riders turn down ride requests and how accessible it is to disabled riders.
As it happens, Uber is in the middle of a rough patch with the California Public Utilities Commission.
Company officials said they aren’t sure why the Bush campaign picked Thumbtack. Uber drivers aren’t employees, so they aren’t eligible for overtime pay, unemployment insurance or workers’ compensation.
Eric Walker, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, pointed out that Uber’s CEO has said the health care law has been critical to the success of the “sharing” or “gig” economies.
Did it give him any pause, a reporter asked. “If I could light up a room like he does… charisma is not a bad thing”.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate as a potential president to prey on that fear, and frankly, it’s not a winning message either….”
“Gov. Bush will talk about putting America’s financial house in order and why that requires a president willing to challenge the culture of our nation’s capital”.
In his first put up, he charged Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton of “rejecting a few of a given an important part of along the distributed economy” and repeating down upon Obama’s economical policy and “mediocre progress path”.
Bush stands alone in many GOP circles for his support of Common Core, a set of college- and career-ready standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts/literacy and mathematics. “For me personally, that is one of the reasons why I like and support Jeb Bush“. While “taking down Mount Tallahassee”, Bush banned gifts for lobbyists and toughened new disclosure laws.
“That may be true”, he said to reporters afterward, but continued to argue that a “consumer-driven” model would work better.
