We should raise taxes on the richest Americans to pay for the things our country needs.

This is something where the answer will depend on which side you pick. So you have a choice on what to do. Here are two viewpoints.

---------------

In favor:

I agree that we should raise taxes on the wealthiest people in the country because they can afford to pay them. Their lifestyle won't be affected too much compared to someone who is struggling to put food on the table, pay rent, or pay for health insurance. Wealthy Americans take advantage of various infrastructure everyday and possibly don't realize it, so it makes sense to have them pay their fair share. With the wealthy contributing more, it gives the lower class workers a more fair share to get a better foot hold and have a higher standard of living. The more people with a higher standard of living, the better the country off is as a whole.

---------------

Against:

I don't agree that we should raise taxes on wealthy Americans. Higher taxes discourages people from earning money since those in a higher tax bracket are going to pay a higher rate. This unintended consequence pushes people to stay in a lower bracket and not earn their full potential. Also, higher taxes chases people away to lower/no tax locations. In a sense, it's like pursuing the path of least resistance. Even if the tax money was collected, it is likely to be spent in places where it shouldn't possibly due to corruption or incompetence.

---------------

Of course these are just basic outlines to help you get started when it comes to writing your response. Feel free to add or take away anything that fits your style.

Answer: Yes

The wealthy earn a lot of money. It would benefit our country if they pay some money to pay for the things our country needs.

If they have so much money, can they not pay some taxes?

Finger [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union to get satellites and humans into space was known as the space race.

Explanation:

The space race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted approximately from 1957 to 1975. It involved the parallel effort between the two countries to explore outer space with artificial satellites, to send humans into space and to pose a human being in Moon.

Although its roots lie in the early rocket technologies and international tensions that followed World War II, the space race actually began after the Soviet launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. The term originated as an analogy of the arms race. The space race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the United States during the Cold War. Space technology became a particularly important arena in this conflict, both because of its potential military applications and because of its psychological effects on the morale of the population.

Why does Malcolm X not approve of Martin Luther King Jr.’s approach to securing civil rights?
natima [27]

Malcom X wanted people to go back to Africa or from a whole different country without white people in it. Martin Luther King on the other hand wanted non-violent protests to try to get rid of the awful segregation. King said this about malcom x's civil rights movements. "a bunch of thugs organized from prisons and jails and financed, I am sure, by some Arab group." They both wanted the same thing which was freedom but one wanted to integrate with white people, and the other one didn't.
