Answer: I think the taxes rose to 14 trillion today because of wars that have happened in the past. For example, the government had to pay a lot of money for WW II which costed them 4.69 trillion. The government also pays for technology and education for schools and businesses , and to provide goods and services for the benefit for the people who live in America. They also pay for medical care a social services. So, in conclusion the government pays a lot for our everyday needs and survival.
A rigid class system is a manner of social organization in which, at birth, an individual already pertains to a certain group and social mobility is almost non-existent along lifetime.
A society which follows this model would prevent immigration. Newcomers usually pertain to the lower social classes, and if they know in advance that they will have no possibilities of improvement, they would probably choose a different destination. In the end, the most damaged ones by such a system are the national individuals who pertain to the lower social classes, as the structures that function in their country foster inequality and prevent them from improving their situation and living conditions.

There was no specific "group" in charge of propaganda in America, but it was definitely used in World War l and ll.
One of the most famous propaganda's, though, is Paul Revere's exaggeration of the Boston Massacre.
