The author details what some specific companies paid (or gained) and how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) as well as the CARES Act expanded tax breaks for these companies.

    The Pdf that is placed by the ABI states that when taxes are increased jobs in the hospitality industry are lost. Raising the taxes is not efficient way to raise money. Over 40% of the price of alcohol is tax! This is not a proven deterrent

    Denmark after one year removed the fat tax and would be phasing out the soft drink tax in one year. The tax was damaging to local economy and didn't deliver any concrete benefits. Again one single food or bev can be held responsible. between 1999-2011 soda decreased by 32% and fat rates still rose.

    As the end date approaches in the coming year for the "Internet Tax Freedom Act" that was signed in 1998, two republic senators have proposed a new bill. Not only does the new bill protect Internet users from taxation of Internet access, usage, and email by government agencies, this bill would be permanent.

    Lois Lerner, a senior IRS official signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president's half-brother that operated illegally for years. Lerner approved the foundation's tax status within a month of filing, while some conservative organizations have been waiting for up to 3 years for approval.

    There is no evidence scientifically that tax will solve obesity. solution is not education alone. No evidence that soda is the cause, sales of soda are down but sugar drinks are still high Calories are not the issue. soda adds too much sugar and has no nutritional value. Beverage industry needs to be part of solution

    A touchy subject but one that has been increasingly more important in the United States, should illegal immigrants be able to vote? The research shows that that their votes play a major role in poles. I think that it's important for people to vote and have a say, but should everyone who comes into the U.S. be allowed to have such a say if not a citizen? Would Americans have that same right in their home country?

    I am an immigrant myself, i migrated here legally, i pay my taxes, receive no tax breaks even while i make little money, i do not have the ability to vote, and i have done the process through and through, without breaking the law. So i ask, why if i can't vote, should someone who has dodged taxes, came here illegally, and broken the laws of this generous country, have the ability to vote where i cannot?

    Same sex-couples will be subject to the same tax laws as heterosexual married couples. Even if a same-sex couple later moves to a state which does not recognize their marriage, the IRS will still recognize them as married.

    I think this is a great topic. Since, we are all in college and know first hand the expenses of college. This article argues to push for free college. He talks about a college in Georgia where they have scholarships for free college. I think this is rather interesting!

    This is an interesting thought however, I feel that too easily the system would get bogged down. Also, the money to pay for this free college would have to come from tax-payers. In reality I don't see how it would work. I know in Germany college is free IF a student has a certain score on a standardized test, so that the government sees the student as a worthwhile investment. It sounds harsh, but it works. I think in America too many things would cause that rule to be derailed. Also, Germany has as much smaller and homogeneous population, so that works better.

    I am a person who is all for free education..in theory. Like Amanda, I do not believe it would be beneficial to provide the United States with free education because we as the tax papers would suffer. However, I do wish the government would make it so that we are not in such crippling debt once our education is over.
  • lion_aj on 29 Jan 18
     
    As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.

    There are many pros and cons of legalizing marijuana. This site gives a bit of more information on what these pros and cons are. For example, Marijuana is no more harmful to a person's health than alcohol or tobacco, which are both legal and widely used, and regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and Some Americans believe that marijuana ingestion is immoral, and that their moral standards should be required of all Americans.

    Article stating both sides of legalizing marijuana. Talks from several perspectives
  • Malia Kihei on 09 Sep 13
     
    Some of the pros of legalizing marijuana are that it can be taxed, law enforcement could be doing more productive things with their time and that whether one smokes it should be their own decision. Some of the cons include that marijuana could possibly lead to other drugs and that long term use could be harmful.

    Our nation is riddled with debt and many states have considered relaxing drug policies to help budgets.  There are some financial benefits that would come with legalizing drugs such as taxes and savings on both persecuting and housing criminals.
