FLETCHER — The stock market will crash, making the Great Depression “look like a cakewalk,” if action is not taken soon to halt the looming economic collapse of the United States, Dr. Ben Carson, a Republican presidential candidate, said June 30 during a speech here.
He addressed the Faith and Freedom Rally at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center. The event, which drew more than 800 people, was hosted by 11th District U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-Glenville.
The U.S. should end illegal immigration, reduce regulation and go to a 10 percent tax rate, based on the the biblical tithe, with no deductions or loopholes, the candidate said.
Also, do not to succumb to political correctness “because that’s how progressives control you,” Carson told the crowd.
Carson is an author, and retired Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon. He was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins joined at the head.
