I. There is a problem in society today. That problem is

The government is not getting enough money. It does not have enough money to support public programs, and not enough money to distribute to the porverished citizens of the United States. Taxes are not fairly being distributed through out society. Though it may seem fair to the rich because they may make more money it stay may be negatively impacting companies and potentially even slowing them down. Progressive taxes are far too high and should be lowered or at least brought to a more fair distribution of taxation. Though some say that one should tax the rich that they should be helping out the less fortunate, the question really is well are they not helping out in the first place to? Really the problem is the government can not find a suitable way to tax everyone in a proper manner. My group proposes that everyone pay a tax of 20% of their earnings. That is a reasonable amount of money that would be fair for everyone. With a flat tax those with less money pay less and have more money to save. Taxation, now in the United States taxes have been an issue for most of the people on the United States, they don’t think its fair and they want a change, like make the law Flat Taxation which every worker would pay a 20% depending on your income.

I. Facts that demonstrate that there is a problem are: (You may use your own sources and the sources of the members in your group)

The problem with progressive tax is that it potentially discourages people from buying things, going out to do their own business. And that progressive tax also discourages people from even taking risks! The problem is that people may be getting taxed to much and even unfairly in order to go through to help better the economy On the public side, the flat tax limits political discretion by making it harder for the government to single out "the rich" for special treatment. The Government favors the rich by giving them special treatment. The government provides the money for the states to rebuild streets and bridges. Our state does not have the money to rebuild some of the roads or fix the pot holes in them. They also provide the money for the welfare programs and for those who live under the poverty line. Most of these families don't get the to eat three meals a day, especially depending on how many family members there are. The government also uses the taxpayer’s money to pay for public programs like building parks and basketball courts, or other recreational facilities. Some areas are less fortunate and don't have any near their neighborhood.
