Taxes for China (Satire)

The United States of America becomes further in debt every year. Because of the current economy, more and more people become homeless or turn to welfare for financial support. As our society becomes poorer and poorer, it is very important that we change the way that our country is being run. One way that we could do this, is by making an equal American. To do this, it would be essential to raise the taxes on the richest people in America.

Americans need the money to support other economies around the world by buying their cheap knockoff products, refined foods, and the drug trade.  Wal-Mart opened its doors as an all American brand; now, you could walk in and barely find anything, including produce, that was grown or made in the United States. Drug trade happens everywhere in the world and it puts food on the table for many families. In the United States, we spend billions upon billions of dollars trying to stop drug traffic and trade by creating laws. There is little to no effect of these laws based upon the fact that there has been very little change in the street prices of different drugs.

Because the United States is in major debt, by eliminating the large problems of educating, and protecting people from the problems of the world, our government would save billions of dollars. Our world wide economy would thrive because cheap labor will be necessary in new parts of the world that are yet to industrialize. As an effect of the industrialization of the world, we would also create more skilled jobs for scientific discoveries and inventions. This would start a brand new process that the world has yet to discover.

1. The more wealthy would be taxed more


2. Redistribution of wealth


3. The previously less wealthy have more money to spend


4. Drug trade, knockoff products, and refined products have and increase in sales


5. More jobs to produce the products/further industrialization


6. More scientists for more research, discoveries, and inventions

The suffering of Americas poorest, is not near of what the poorest children of China face every day of their lives. It is important that we buy the things that they are making inside of the factories. By supporting the larger companies over small businesses in the United States, we would be buying Chinese products that would help these children and their families. Another huge example of why we need to pay more taxes to the poor, is because having 5 bathrooms in your house, takes a big toll on the water systems of our country. By making the richer poorer, we would help our water systems and our electrical systems in our nation.

As you can see, it is necessary for a change in the way that the United States runs its taxing. By bringing the richer down and the poorer up, we would have more money to spend on global economies rather than the money spent in the heart of our country. The United States as a whole could produce more by itself, and it would lower the percentage of Americans out of work. Nation wide companies would have a greater income with the rising amount of money that the previously less wealthy could afford to spend. The United States of America is in great need of a change. Raising taxes on the wealthiest, is a great way to solve it.

 

Non-Fiction Project With Jilli Hovland

Why do you go to a scary movie? How can the fear that you feel, haunt you until you go to it and hear the whole story? Fear is an emotion that many storytellers bring in to make their stories more interesting. Why storytellers do this, and how they make people come back to this fear, is what Jilli and I will be uncovering in this project.

People go these movies for a statement. They come out of the movie almost peeing their pants but because they went, they feel a sense of accomplishment. Is this the reason why people watch or listen to these things? Do other peoples experiences of fear make yours seem smaller?

What's the science behind it? The brain works in weird ways. Many people get an adrenaline rush when they watch or listen to scary things, could this be the reasoning behind why storytellers and writers share their stories this way?

While researching this project, we'll look at the psychology of fear and how the brain reacts to these triggers along with interviewing many storytellers, and learning about other peoples experiences with fear. We will show our work in this project by making a podcast of our discoveries including the personal experiences of other people.

So what really does make people come back for more? Do people prolong this fear or do they search for it? What makes people like fear? Everybody has their own personal experiences with this odd emotion. Maybe their is no distinct, straight-forward answer, but we will find the answers to many things that make up this subject.
