Flat tax or Fair tax?

Currently America uses a progressive tax system. Progressive tax system has people pay different percentages based on how much they make annually. There are different tax brackets that determine what percentage that people of a specific income pay. People are not happy about America’s tax system. The major plans that people think could work instead of a progressive tax, flat tax and fair tax both make claims that they are fairer than the current tax system.
 Flat tax puts a single tax rate on all people no matter their income. Wither you make $20,000 a year or $100,000 you would pay the same percentage. People with a higher income will have to pay more, but they are still paying the same percentage. With a flat tax people who make less money pay less money. It is similar to our current tax plan, except it has the same rate. Fair tax does not tax the income of people. With a fair tax you are taxed on what you buy, not what you make. To make sure poor people can make it in the world with a fair tax the government will send them a check back to pay for the tax expenses.

I think that a flat tax is the best. I really don’t understand the way a fair tax would work. If the government is paying back the money they make in taxes, I don’t see how they are going to make much money. I have heard of a flat tax and know more about it. That is probably why I favor it over the fair tax. I honestly don’t have many complaints on our progressive tax. All I know is that these tax plans will make it a lot easier and have less paperwork than our progressive tax. With a flat tax you want need to find your tax bracket, and it won’t take as much time to file your taxes.

First articl e    Race This article talks about how racism was a recent thing, and that it was only from the Western world. In the ancient world they believed that some races were better than others, but they believed that they could help the other races to become civilized. They did not believe that they would never be as good; they just thought that they were not raised the right way. It was because of the western world that racism and bigotry became a thing. The western world began to think that people of darker skin had less intelligence, and this made them lesser than the white world. After that began darker skinned people were thought of as slaves, stupid, and below everyone. This ideal was made by westerners in the time that they began to colonize the new world. Mexicans were also thought of as lesser for the skin color they inherited. Not only did major slavery exist in the main world, but western civilization was the cause of a huge genocide.

In cheer-leading you have to teach the new girls how to do all the cheers and chants. There were a few people that were teaching the new girls, and I was one of them. The main way we teach them is to separate the cheers into different smaller section. You show them the small section until they get it. Then you watch them; correct them, and then move on to the next thing. The best way to learn something is to be able to do it yourself.
