Question

5. Based on information presented in the video, construct an argument that defends the idea that we should not lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans.

Answer 1

Answer:

We should not lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans because they own and run a lot of companies and businesses that we use. Lower income Americans want their leaders to understand or know what it’s like to be less wealthy so they’ll be more sympathetic towards lower income people and won’t do everything out of the want for more money. If they have to pay lower taxes, then that takes away from their ability to sympathize with lower income homes, and that would upset a lot of people.
