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.

  1. I appreciate all the extra work you did on this one. You explored the concept completely and felt free do so something a little bit dangerous. You made great decisions as you worked to improve your writing, and you ended up with a great project.

    This is a great example of satire done right.
