A simple example of this is the concept of that evil, deceptive tax cut. That same party will tell you that the only way to make money from taxes is to raise them until every rich patron of this country is paying an arm and a leg just to stay alive. Not only does this punish the rich for being rich, it is a form of socialism though it's redistribution of money in an attempt to reward the idle for doing nothing, and punish the busy for endeavoring to make money. Doesn't make much sense does
Consequently the surface arguments of G and H are limited by their attributes and so I believe this reduces the extent to which they agree with the statement. In contrast to G and H, source I appears to offer a different explanation for the motives. Aske’s deposition highlights royal greed and cruelty, driven by seemingly financial motives.

It highlights financial gain in terms of ‘profits’ for the King.
However, due to the methods presented for American success, each party contradicted their opinions on the common man, democracy, and the constitution which foreshadows a great unstable nation.

The federalists supported the rich and wealthy people so they could grow and trickle down their prosperity to the lower classes. Alexander Hamilton believed that the rich and prosperous should handle the nation due to the majority of the first class being well educated. He points out that while his population of supporters had the resources and knowledge to run the government, the lower classes basically had small or no resources at all.
On the other hand his uncle, Benjy, is relatively rich and this allows Duddy to understand the benefits of wealth. This combination of wanting to make more money than his father and having the opportunity to observe through his uncle the benefits of being rich influences the basis of this obsession in Duddy. The obsession itself comes in to effect when Duddy’s grandfather tells him these five words: “A man without land is nobody.”(49) In Mordecai Richler’s novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz we examine Duddy’s obsession for money and land to the point that the relationships of those around him are ruined. Most noticeable of these ruined relationships is the one with his family. Duddy’s relationship with his friends also takes a toll because of this obsession of his.

RaeNosa Hudnell Prof Vandenberg CAS 253 Movie Review: A Poor Man Shames us All In the film A Poor Man Shames Us All, the director shows alternative views of wealth and society. He shows the North Americans in the United States who participate in a western capitalist society verses the Weyewa of Indonesia and the Gabra of Kenya. These two cultures do not operate in a capitalistic society but economies of dependency on others. Wealth is measured through people and not possessions.

Although the aristocrats were wealthier than the middle and lower class people, ultimately, as humans, they all wanted the same things: power, prestige, and privilege.

The other area of concern is the moral and ethical dilemma that has come about as a result of the growth of new media technology. The main area of concern is the privacy issue.
