The Second Wave of American Slavery In 1938, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law a minimum wage of $0.25 an hour. This was part of his initiative to lift the United States out of the Great Depression, and provide every American with a livable paycheck. Since then, the minimum wage has increased to account for inflation. However, many Americans are still working full time in poverty. This discouraging figure, along with the prohibitively high cost of a higher education has led to a second wave of slaves in the twenty-first century.

Part four is to cut the deficit, reducing the size of government and getting the national debt under control so that America remains a place where businesses want to open up shop and hire. Finally, part five of Mitt’s plan is to champion small business. Small businesses are the engine of job creation in this country, but they will struggle to succeed if taxes and regulations are too burdensome or if a government in Washington does its best to stifle them. Mitt will pursue comprehensive tax reform that lowers tax rates for all Americans, and he will cut back on the red tape that drives up costs and discourages hiring. This election presents a clear choice, and an important one: Will America once again be the best place in the world to start a business, hire a worker, or find a job?

"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical work that illustrates a sarcastic solution to the problem of poverty in Ireland. He suggests that the problem of Irish poverty can be solved by the sale of children from poor families for consumption to eliminate the growing number of starving citizens. The idea is that not only should poor Irish children be eaten but they should be bred for the meat market. Throughout the essay Swift use satire and irony to point out the differences between classes. The author does not want the reader to agree that solution to overpopulation and poverty in Ireland is to eat babies; he wants the reader to see that we need to reach a practical solution.
