**3 issues that are important to me**

**Taxes based on wealth:**

I disagree with this issue. I don't think that wealthier people should have to pay higher taxes than less wealthier people. It isn't fair because wealthy people work hard for their money. They should't have to give up their money just because they have more money than others. Everyone should have to pay the same amount for taxes.

Economy vs. Envirnment: I think that both of these issues are very important so I think that we should try to focas on both. But first I think that we should focas on the envirnment. We should get our envirnment all cleaned up and then make some changes to our econmy. We should try to open up new jobs for people that are envirnmental friendly.

HB82-Bike it or Hike it- This is a bill where employees get extra money added to their paycheck for walking or riding their bike to work

** Health Care: **

I defiantly think that they should lower the health care prices. Even people who are not very wealthy should be able to get good health care. It should be one of America's top priorities to make sure that everyone can afford to go to the docters.
