In 2007, state lawmakers rejected a multi-state lottery bill, because of fears that the lottery would lose money in such a low populated state. Eric Spector, president and CEO of Wyoming Downs, said “the machines would have generated about $12 million a year for the Hathaway program and around $2 million to help pay for the statewide lottery”. This bill was also expected to gain about eleven million dollars each year from the just the lottery. Wallis stated that “I really thought this was a win-win situation for everyone.” The money was even going to a good cause, the expected eleven million dollars per year was going to help fund the Hathaway scholarship. The scholarship, intended to give money to all qualifiers to attend a Wyoming school, is slowly losing money.

One of the biggest reasons to not use Yucca Mountain is because Nevada does not have one nuclear power plant. “A two-thirds majority of Nevadans feel it is unfair for their state to have to store nuclear waste when there are no nuclear power plants in Nevada”. So why would we make them take waste from states such as New York or New Jersey. Another reason that we should not use Yucca Mountain is because it is only 100 miles away from Las Vegas which has hundreds of thousands of tourist a year which if a leak occurs then they would be exposed to nuclear waste. This would not be good.
The union chief said the government was only planning to provide an extra 150 police for the entire state over the next year. The Gold Coast will be lucky to get twenty”. This type of viewpoint only adds to the Gold Coast community’s instability. Whether it be to have a greater police force or to imply harsher penalties, at least this form of positive direction would allow audiences to feel a sense of relief. We are in need of more positive and proactive statements like that of _____ who stated that "The sort of incidents we're seeing there are completely unacceptable on the streets of a city like the Gold Coast and I am very confident we're going to see major arrests out of this taskforce” .
Over the past decades Texas has had one of the lowest voter turnouts. According to Maxwell the reasons for such low voter turnout is because of laws, socioeconomic characteristics, political structure, and political culture. At the turn of the 19th century voter turnout was one of the lowest due to many laws and regulations placed on citizens that denied many people to vote. Many people including women, African Americans, and many immigrants were not allowed to vote. Voting early in the 19th century was considered more of luxury and only very few would get the chance to vote.
For example healthcare which entails 15% of our annual GDP would not be affected. However the argument comes in when the TV factory shuts down and 500 people are laid off. So, while foreign markets may affect The Feds policy’s it should not have a major impact. The Federal Reserve has been a very important economic entity in the US since its inception in 1913. By controlling interest rates and the money supply it has controlled inflation and economic growth of our country.
The most serious problem facing taxpayers and the IRS is the complexity of the Internal Revenue Code because Congress uses the complex tax code to achieve political goals that are unrelated to raising revenue. Currently, tax revenue cannot even pay for government spending. Congress should simplify it. The existing tax code makes compliance difficult, requiring taxpayers to devote excessive time to preparing and filing their returns. It obscures comprehension, leaving many taxpayers unaware how their taxes are computed and what rate of tax they pay; it facilitates tax avoidance by enabling sophisticated taxpayers to reduce their tax liabilities and provides criminals with opportunities to commit tax fraud; and it undermines trust in the system
The United States is the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world with over three hundred million people living in it. The United States’ GDP is well over fifteen trillion dollars making it the world’s wealthiest nation; they also currently spend eighteen percent of this on their healthcare system. As of 2011 an estimated 20 percent of Americans don’t have access to health insurance. Fifteen million uninsured Americans is surly enough reason to see that something must be done. Changing such a large and delicate system would take an incredible amount of effort and an even more amount of money which the United States does not seem to have at the moment for some reason.
The current minimum wage is not the primary problem for the poor, because most poor don’t work at minimum wage. In fact, according to one study, “Over 60% of those under the poverty line do not work, and only 11% have full-time jobs” (Wagner) Since the increase in the minimum wage will cause large amount of job losses, those who are under the poverty line and don’t work will have even a harder time finding work. Another effect of an increase in the minimum wage is that small business will become less profitable. Those who are
I feel that Pro Athletes shouldn’t be making so much money, they make millions and sometimes even hundreds of millions to play a sport. What can they possibly do with all this money? People risking their lives every day aren’t making close to as much money as they are, and example would be the police or firefighters. They also don’t even “work” for very long. They play for around 5 years maybe more depending on how good they are, while others would work until they're in their 50s or 60s.
