To fund the Basic income program, we must do away with all social programs we have already, meaning unemployment, food stamps, disability, and even social security (Munger 504). Those programs use about 1 trillion of US dollars a year (Pugh). We will also have to use the negative income tax system. A negative income tax will tax the first $35,000 of additional income by 50%. People that are making an additional $35,000, will have an offset in paying taxes and will not be affected by the program (Pugh). Based on the income levels of the 2010 census, providing $17,500 to citizens will only cost the government $1.9 trillion dollars with the negative income tax in effect ("Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) Supplement”). The Basic Income Guarantee program has already been in effect in different areas in the world (Walker). Alaska has already implemented a program similar to this on a smaller scale. The Alaskan government made a great deal of money from Prudhoe Bay oil boom of the '70s (Walker). The people in office decided to invest their money into the citizens of Alaska. The Alaska Permanent Fund started sending annual checks to the residents of Alaska. The Native American residents of Alaska in regional areas organized a program similar to that (Walker). They pay out dividends to their citizens on a smaller scale than…

themselves in different manners in society ranging from: social status, religion, association and familial representation, but they share a similar driving force behind them. As marriage signifies a lifelong commitment to one person, tattoos have the same significance to the wearer: for their family, religion or associations. People often use tattoos as a medium to honor, remember, and represent their family ties. A Portrait tattoo of a deceased loved one is an intimate form of honoring them.…
Who gets to decide what is appropriate for an individual to wear during not only during the taking of oath of Canadian citizenship, but at any time in any place within the boundaries of our supposedly multicultural Canada? While this is not the first time they issues regarding dress have arisen within Canada, the case of Zunera Ishaq, drew considerable attention in 2015.

I was twelve years old when I happened to come across this organization. I can’t remember the exact date or what I should’ve been doing at the time, but I was browsing through YouTube. I…
