Answer:
Disagree
Explanation:
Many work hard for their money and are immensely taxed already. Imagine if you worked hard for 10$ and the government takes away 5$. For wealthier people, the numbers are much larger. If they worked every day of the year and managed to earn $250,000, the government will take away $130,000 - almost half. They already pay for the majority of taxes with their hard earned money. They should not have to give up more than what they already do.

A Classical civilization classified as classical because it is highly advanced for the age. They all center around some form of water (River Valleys or seas, like the Mediterranean). Classical civilization leave a lasting impact on the world.
Greece is an example of a classical civilization for many reasons. Greece as left the lasting impact of the idea of democracy and voting in the realm of government. Their architecture has been and still is copied today. The idea of theater and drama are classic Greek ideas that others have built on and added to. Much of the basics of philosophy also come from Ancient Greek ideas. Some of the math equations that we are taught and use daily are Greek ideas (Pythagoras). Much of what we know about the Ancient world and other ancient civilizations comes from the writings of the Greeks. They copied manuscripts which have helped us to better understand those civilizations. Greek was key to unlocking the and understanding the Ancient Egyptian writing of hieroglyphics. Even when the Greeks were "conquered" by Rome it was Greek culture that would remain. Rome adopted many of the gods and practices and simply put a Roman flare on everything. <span />

Truman Doctrine: Harry S Truman pledged a $400million fund to support any nation opposing Communism in 1947. It was first implemented in Greece and Turkey whose government were both engaged against communist guerrillas.
Marshall Plan: This was when secretary of state to Truman, George Marshall, set up a war relief fund to any nation trying to rebuild after WW2, although being open to all nations, including the USSR, Stalin refused aid as did General Tito of Communist Yugoslavia. The fund was supposed to be impartial (politically speaking) but from what I've read, the Americans gained alot of influence notably in West Germany and Japan.
NATO: NATO stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It was set up in 1949 to oppose Communism on a military level and included all "western" countries eg: US, Canada, UK, W.Germany and most of western Europe. Its purpose was a common military and intelligence service against the Soviets. Its still very much in existence, although today it serves more to combat terrorism, and still excludes Russia.
All these plans and agencies were formed to "contain" communism, as in to stop the spread of communism from one country to another- this was called the Domino Theory. The Korean war in 1950 was seen as communism trying to spread from China (after the communist victory in the 1949 civil war) and so the US invaded (After the N.Koreans invaded S.Korea) "containing" the spread of communism. Containment conceded to the soviets that their methods of infiltrating and spreading communism was more effective that the US's attempts to spread democracy. The US was a reactionary force while the soviets were dictating where next they influenced.
NSC-68 was effectively a ratification of the policy of containment, expanding the US's military budget and developing the Hydrogen bomb as a policy of "deterrent".
The geopolitical limitations of the US's options in Asia and E.Europe was the fact that the soviets were simply much closer. It was easier for Stalin to control East Berlin than it was for Truman to control West Berlin, simply due to proximity. The USSR extended as far as east asia, and so it was easy for them to have a greater influence there too. They could easily send arms and personel to any region they pleased.
I hope I helped, the topic is very complex and would take me ages to write about coherently but ive a few pointers in there that should make writing the essay easier :)
