Another tax indirect tax that is useful is plastic bag tax. As this requires people to pay for the use of bags, it lowers the demand for new bags and encourages the demand to reuse bags. Also there’s road tax which people needs to pay otherwise people will not be able to own a car as it causes emissions of CO2 which pollutes the air. This also another Way of the government being able to get money and use it for government spending within the economy. However there are problems with taxation to get rid of the negative externalities.
Critical Analysis on “The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate.” Dan Gardner’s publish, “The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate”, is strongly controversial in his position against increasing enforcement of drug laws, and boosting penalties for violators. He believes that you should actually limit enforcement and hardship of sentencing when it comes to drugs. Was his argument persuasive enough in the essay to actually influence his wishes into society? Personally, I don’t think so. Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence.
Second, the author addresses the prohibitionist argument that illegal drugs cause harm to people around the user as well. Huemer agrees that drugs have the potential to ruin a user’s life whether it be laziness, poor communication with others, or not taking pride in one’s work. He states that drug use only has a chance of causing one to behave in these ways. There are people all over the world that voluntarily behave in these ways without the use of drugs. Should these people be arrested for being losers?
The inelasticity of drugs creates a steep negative slope. This means that the price can experience great changes and the quantity demanded will change at a much smaller rate. This is further seen in the article in reference to Portugal’s decriminalization of drugs dating back to 2001. A study by the British Journal of Criminology found that the increase in users has increased only marginally if at all. The deregulation of government involvement has decreased the price of drugs but the demand has not greatly increased in response.
(News-Item) In a poll, that has been taken by Public Agenda on the subject of drug testing for welfare recipients show that 68% said yes, 27% said no and 5% not sure. Even, though, there are some people that are out raged and call this unconstitutional for an example Kimberley Davis, Director of Social Services for Operation Breakthrough, said this sends a damaging message. "All this does is perpetuating the stereotype that low-income people are lazy, and if all they did was pick themselves up from the bootstraps then the country would not be in the mess it is in.” (Service)That is not true it is that tax payers work hard for their money. It should be certain that the money going to help the needy not support drug
It would give health care coverage to illegal aliens. It would also place the insurance companies at the disadvantage to the consumer. It would increase taxes for middle class and small businesses employee would have less coverage. The government control health care system will allow less flexibility of care for the patient. The healthy people would have to pay the burden of sick people.
Although the rich is being blamed for this tax reform, The Cato Institute’s Edwards say the main loopholes on the individual tax code are actually middle class benefits. Middle class lacks the knowledge of knowing when tax breaks are beneficial to them. The mortgage interest deduction and the exclusion for health care insurance are two benefits for the middle class, but the wealthy folk hire lawyers and accountants to get around, to benefit excessively from these tax code
Another premiss is “Severe laws against marijuana do not discourage use of marijuana, but rather breed this contempt not only for drug laws but for laws in general.” This ties in with the first premiss, but can stand alone as its’ own as well. The conclusion would be “Severe laws against marijuana are more dangerous to society than the activity that they are designed to prevent.” This is a conclusion that explains its two premisses and makes an argument against the laws in which are enforced to prevent the use of marijuana. Also, in this case for this particular argument there are no extra superfluous premises. This is mainly because almost all the argument is used for the conclusion and
Most sources which suggest that immigrants do not help the economy are anti immigration groups and conservative think tanks such as the Centre for Immigration Studies and The Heritage Foundation. The Public Policy Institute of California, which claimed that immigrants are ten times more likely to be put in prison, is also a non partisan group. After the recent economic recession and the threat of America’s economy being overtaken in the next 40 years, I think it is in the best interests of the American Government to encourage immigration and ultimately boost their economy, which should be done by allowing more people applying for us citizenship to be allowed a green card, and thus prevent the large amount who enter
Approximate estimate of the revenue makes up from ten to twenty billion dollars per year. Advocates of both sides put convincing arguments behind their point of view and argue the opponents no less convincingly. If price on drugs decreases in the case of legalization drug business would lose its economical base. Then legalization, according to the assumptions of its supports, would lower crime rate because drug addicts would be law-abiding. Alcohol and nicotine are narcotics as well and they are legitimated.
