For example, $15 billion was given to companies to offset losses. The rich, those making $250,000 or more, should not have tax incentives because they already have enough money. The rich can afford to pay more due to having more. It is the middle class and the poor who struggle in this economy and not the rich, according to this argument. Although it is the rich who employ the middle class and the poor, the rich are also accused of holding on to their money and not spending it while those with less money would be required to spend their money due to their intense need
I work two jobs and maintain my financial responsibility. My big payback is the government’s bad decision indirectly affecting my income. A more fair use of the $700 billion plan would have been to let those who took out loans known to be too much and the institutions that created the loan swim or sink. Then disperse the $700 billion to consumers like me who maintain our responsibility. I could certainly use a portion of the money and would most certainly spend it frivolously.
The current Bush Administration allows tax breaks to the wealthy, while continuing to raise taxes for the poor. This allows the wealthy to become wealthier and the poor to become poorer. Similarly in The Grapes of Wrath, the natives of California continue to earn money in higher paying jobs, while deeming the peach and cotton picking jobs too low for them. As they give these jobs to the Hooverville tenants they lower the wages extracting any chance for the growth of the poor. For modification of social order to occur, the upper class has to letup on restraining advancements and give the lower class a decent opportunity for succession.
During the late end of the 1920’s, the economy was extremely unstable. Most of the wealth was located at the “top”. The federal government came up with a More Progressive Income Tax, so the wealth between the rich and the poor would be distributed evenly. What would happen with the More Progressive Income Tax is the government would perform what’s called the Robin Hood Effect. The money from the rich would go to the poor.
Michael Tonsi Valarie Thomas English 1102 15 February 2013 Ramifications of Poverty All people want the right to a decent life and education, no one argues that. Not everyone grows up the same way or with the same privileges, which is generally understood. In Toni Cade Bambara’s short story “The Lesson”, a group of young children are growing up in poverty when an educator creates the environment to help them not only discover, but succeed in learning some very important issues about their immediate world around them. Miss Moore provides the motivation required for people to realize their god given right to something better. Readers realize that Miss.

US Taxation System is Unfair to Ordinary Workers Kesha Krider Devry University Does anyone find it hard to shake the feeling that the wealthy have ways of hanging on to more of their money, while year after year the middle class dutifully hand over their hard earned money to our abominable tax system? It is past time to overhaul the way we pay for the services that our government provides for us in the United States. The current system of multiple taxes, when considered as a whole, is grossly unfair to ordinary workers. Two major points to acknowledge about the unfairness is the fact that middle class workers have no representation or knowledge of the establishments of laws and the dreaded burden of continuous tax hikes. The federal, state and local tax systems in the United States have been marked by significant changes over the years in response to changing circumstances and changes in the role of government.
Universities, this is like our colleges. When in a socialist society all of the three stages of schooling are free. Private schooling is illegal but higher class citizens disobey the law and go there for a better education. Unlike a socialist education, capitalism has to pay for all of their schooling.

People were mad about the changes that he made and choose to blame him because he was the President. One policy that Bush changed was a policy that gave tax cuts.

With less taxes being taken from the wealthy, there was a deficit in tax money coming in. The poorer people had to pay more taxes that they could not afford, while the wealthy got to spend more on whatever they wanted.
