Donald Trump's Tax Proposal
wouldn't affect many people. The rich would pay more, but taxes would basically stay the way they are.
On the other hand, Donald Trump and his tax proposal would have a direct injection into everyone's paychecks. With his tax plans, the government would not be capable of funding most services it does today. The ACA would no longer exist, Social Security would have to become privatized, and there would be less money for the government to use. Lastly, in order to fund Sanders's proposals, tax rates for everyone had to go up. To decrease poverty levels, the wealthy would have to pay a larger share. As a result, the wealth would be redistributed in America. The benefits from his taxation would include better healthcare and Social Security. Four-year

Slowly, he has become more liberal since his announcement to run for president. The racist and sexist rhetoric made people vote for him, but that behavior can not be tolerated in the Oval office. Currently, he claims all of his prior policies were suggestions. The uncertainty he brings to the White House is better than someone with a scandalous nature. Its a toss up between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he has a slight edge on her. His next move is unknown, but if continues down his current path, soon, he will become more liberal than Hillary Clinton. Today, he is better for the American people, but at any moment, that can …show more content…
Donald Trump has said racist and sexist remarks throughout his campaign, and if he becomes president, nobody knows what he will do. Hillary Clinton has been the face of to many scandals for people to see her as electable. As Donald Trump becomes more stable, the people will think of him as better than Clinton. He's beginning to become more of a candidate, and Hillary needs to find a way to impact America. According to CBS News, “compared to frontrunners in previous presidential primary races, Trump and Clinton's unfavorable ratings (57 percent and 52 percent respectively) are the highest in CBS News/New York Times Polls going back to 1984, when CBS began asking this question” (Salvanto). The only negative Bernie Sanders has is calling himself a democratic

    Bernie Sanders has a long history for standing up for civil rights as well as minority rights. But he has more recently been recognized for his contribution to the civil rights movement, as a participant in Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington in 1963 and as leader of protests to demand fair housing at the University of Chicago (Wellman). American civil rights activist, Alfred Sharpton once mentioned that if “you were not getting arrested during the 1960s in America, [I] would have to question your leadership around racial justice issues” (Harris). While Sanders was volunteering with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Hillary Clinton was volunteering with Barry Goldwater who voted against the Civil Rights Act (Harris). This may not seem relevant anymore, since Sanders is no longer in the running for President; but it is to me.…

    Money seems to be the root of the problems that surround us in our daily lives. Depending on how much we earn from employment that number is concentrated on our social class in society. However, regardless of our social class we all pay a form of federal tax. Federal tax is a tax levied by the United States Internal Revenue Service on yearly earnings of employees, corporations, trusts, and other legal entities. These taxes that are collected contribute to approximately 47 percent of the federal government’s revenue. This money subsidizes national defense and funds federal programs such as welfare and infrastructure. A percentage of our income is taxed according to the amount we earn; it varies from ten percent when making zero to 20,000 dollars to 30 percent when making 50,000 dollars and above. The controversy of eradicating federal income tax involves all American residents…

    This Presidential ticket is widely considered the worst in United States history. Many people are criticizing almost everything either candidate does. One one side you have a bigoted racist in Trump. On the other side, and marginally considered the better candidate of the two main parties is an untrustworthy, criminal in Clinton. What other options do you have? None, until you you look at the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson. I believe that, although unlikely, he has a chance to win. He would be a better president than Trump or Clinton because his stances on economics, immigration, and foreign policy make sense and would improve the U.S security and economy overall.…

    The flat tax will make taxes fair for all people. No matter what race a person is, what social class a person is in, or who they're friends with, they will end up paying the same rate. Every single taxpayer will have to sacrifice just as much of his or her life as the next person down the road. One of the three main reasons for taxes is to maintain fairness. This is most reasonable ways to maintain fairness. The wealthy will still be paying more money than the poor person, but they both have the same tax burden.…

    Whether in support or opposition. Trump believes he will have a “tremendous amount” from African-Americans in the general election. He justifies his comment by saying African American youth is largely impacted by unemployment and fair worse than a white person. (Bradner, CNN) Time and time again, Trump has placed himself outside establishment politics and even stated the Republican National Committee were rooting against him. In an interview covered by CNN the New York billionaire stated the RNC changed the rules in some states because he was preforming well and wanted to stop him from succeeding and prior to all his competitors dropping out, when asked if he thought the RNC would give him the nomination despite his delegate count he said “I don’t think so”. (Lee, CNN) The character Trump is when on the political stage is what has attracted all his supporters and increased voter turnout. The increased turn out in voters does not always mean they are pro-Trump but he is a source of the increased numbers. As the Republican primary contests are essentially over, the front-runner has begun to focus on the general election despite the opposition to his nomination form top republican officials. Donald J Trump has improved the support for his campaign and increased voter turnout because he has…

Middle class and poverty level households, will be able to make six dollars and twenty five cents more an hour, assuming it's a forty hour full time job at minimum wage they would make six hundred dollars week. They would be making nearly double to that of New York state's current minimum wage level of eight dollars and seventy five cents an hour at forty hours a week.
