Read An Editorial: It's time for a nation to return the favor (The Times-Picayune)
The author of the editorial "It's Time for a Nation to Return the Favor' is most likely a:

pay to rebuild the city.
B. politician considering how much money to spend on rebuilding

Well, there could be many reasons. First off, there are many different historical and cultural differences between Shakespeare's time and modern times that a modern student doesn't pick up on, doesn't understand.

Scotland is suffering under Macbeth's rule. He illegally became king by murdering the previous king, Duncan. Once he started his reign, he changed completely - he used to be an honorable warrior, but his ambition corrupted him, and he became a tyrant once he assumed the throne. During his reign, people in Scotland were afraid all the time about what their new king might do, and his own country was suffering.
This is what Malcolm had to say about Macbeth's rule, which testifies to his terrible reign:
<em>"I think our country sinks beneath the yoke.
