Voice of Democracy
Introductory Paragraph American history; our hope for the future. these are my hopes for America’s future.

America is a great place, but there are a few things (in my opinion) could be changed or worked on for the future.

My three hopes for America’s future are, debt, decreasing the 19 trillion dollars we have in debt to other countries.
My second hope is tax breaks, for example, say you pay 100,000 dollars for a house, say you pay 1 thousand dollars a month, your taxes can decrease a little bit, but say a rich person buys a house for the same price and pay the same amount per month, he gets a bigger tax break than you would and that is unfair to the middle class.
My last hope for America, better veteran appreciation.

Im hoping trump can come up with a way to fix it, but I don’t know if he will. You could probably start with a better tax break policy, but I highly doubt that will happen. There are so many solutions like more jobs for example, but if it hasn’t happened yet i'm not entirely sure it will but, I might be wrong.

America’s tax break total crap and it doesn’t work. As mentioned above, say you pay 100,000 dollars for a house, say you pay 1 thousand dollars a month, your taxes can decrease a little bit, but say a rich person buys a house for the same price and pay the same amount per month, he gets a bigger tax break than you would and that is unfair to the middle class.

My last big hope for America, better veteran appreciation. America’s war veterans already get some benefits like food discounts for example, but, i'm talking about appreciation as saying things like thanks for your service or I respect your devotion to america’s freedom. Even saying nice things or showing appreciation goes a long way and the best part of it, its free to

    The flat tax, progressive tax and value added tax are three very different and unique tax systems. All three tax systems have similarities and differences. By comparing these three tax systems we can understand their advantages and disadvantages and see which one is the best for the United States. Currently, the United States uses an income tax called the progressive-rate tax system. This tax rate system is very complex and requires taxpayers to complete multiple forms, compute deductions, and manipulate tax laws until it becomes beneficial.…

    Raising the taxes on the wealthy would be a great option. The goal is not to tax them to the point of taking it all away, but making it fair, especially in times of struggle. Bob Herbert 2010, a New York Times columnist states that,” America does not have the common sense to raise taxes” (qtd. in King 614) .…

    America’s future vison is continually changing. It appears that regardless of the ideas one sets for America it is never followed through. George Washington, one of America’s first great leaders and presidents, warned the young nation not to allow factions, such as political parties and foreign affairs to take part in United States. My vison for America is that we once again regain a clean slate by paying off foreign debts, allow more advanced teachings in schools, and reducing waste and pollutants. The foreign debt America has gained, in today’s day and age, is the highest it has ever been.…

    We could conveniently do a form of the progressive tax where all types of income are taxed equally. As of right now, many of the ultra-rich are staying on top by finding a loophole in the tax system and exploiting it. They are investing in stocks and earning money that is classified as qualified dividends; these qualified dividends are taxed at a much lower rate, and, thus, the loophole is being surpassed without much creativity…

    In the words of Thomas Paine, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Taxes must be paid, no matter how one feels about the system and there must be no loopholes; not for the rich and not for the poor. Rather, the entire system that governs how we pay our taxes must be completely revised to be fair to all Americans, no matter their backgrounds or their…

    There are many possible solutions to income inequality, but like most problems, there is no answer that will please one of them. One possible solution is to make public college free, or much more affordable. This will allow more lower and middle class Americans to get a post-secondary education, making them more qualified for higher paying jobs. Another possible solution is that of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who believes in a “progressive tax system that is based on ability to pay”. This could be beneficial because it helps control the growth of the upper class and helps to fund programs meant to help the lower classes.…

    Although each person has the right to make as much money as possible, in the United States the government should however keep the income rise proportioned by taxing the wealthy more and the poor less. In recent years the opposite happened where the taxes on the wealthy were cut from a top rate of 68% in 1980s to 28.5% by 1988. The share of federal tax revenue paid by corporations has dropped from 33 cents of every dollar collected in 1953 to less than 10 cents today.

    The progressive tax system was not designed to hurt or punish the wealthy for acquiring large sums of money. There are numerous social welfare programs that must be funded and that occurs from taxation. The money collected from the wealthy gets redistributed to those through public schools, social security benefits, and hospitals. The middle class cannot be required to pay large tax liabilities, frankly, their earnings would not allow for the necessities in life if that were to occur. Although many middle class families would love to see a substantial increase in their income; many try to keep their income at a certain level in order to avoid moving into the next level tax bracket.…

    Although taxes have been in existence for around 5,000 years, many educated people are still left wondering who should have to pay what.

    2.3 trillion dollars is what the government will make this year in income taxes. The arguments for increasing taxes on the rich are not based on the United States government using the tax funds wisely. “None of the arguments for increasing taxes are based on producing a workable financial model for our government, based on an agreement on what its functions should be and what those functions should cost if operated efficiently” (Randall). It will not help our economy at all if we just increase taxes and do not become smarter about our spending. The government would have more than enough money from taxes if they would learn how to spend the money.…

    Wooden Nickels: The Theory of Trickle-Down Economics The theory of trickle-down economics was first coined during the Reagan administration. The theory asserts that tax breaks for large businesses and the wealthiest Americans subsequently benefit all Americans with an increase in the standard of living, job creation, increased wages and an improved economy. Trickle-down economics assumes that large corporations and the wealthiest Americans are the sole drivers of economic growth; their tax breaks and benefits should directly stimulate the economy. Unfortunately, in the post-Reagan era, we have not seen major economic growth through the theory of trickle-down economics.…
