A)
- Do you believe that raising taxes is a fair way of financing public projects? Yes/No
- Do you believe that a new General Motors facility would bring benefits to the state? Yes/No
- How much do you agree with the idea of implementing a new tax in order to finance this facility? Totally agree/Agree/Somewhat agree/Somewhat Disagree/Disagree/Totally Disagree
I would ask these questions because they address the elements that I find important. They would allow me to examine the respondents' view of taxes, General Motors, and the use of taxes to finance private companies.
B)
I would distribute this survey to the working people of Michigan, as they are the ones most likely to care about changes in taxation. I would try to distribute this survey to 1% of the population of the state. This is because such a number of people would give me enough results to obtain results that are statistically significant. However, it is still a small enough number, so I can manage the data easily.
C)
I would first look at an example of an opinion survey conducted in the state of Michigan. I would also look at a survey that discusses the subject of raising state taxes. Finally, I would look at an academic source that explains how to create effective survey questions.
It is poorly phrased central idea for a persuasive speech because it contains figurative language.
The persuasion needs facts which can be describes using literal language as opposed to figurative language which is often used in poetry though sometimes in prose also but it contains an explanation which is different from the literal interpretation.
