ISSUES

One issue that is very important in my opinion are the high government taxes. On this issue, I would have to agree and say it is true, that the very high government taxes hurt the economy. In my opinion, if the government did not have such high taxes, then buisness' would not need to shut down which would mean people would not lose their jobs. In a result, if the government did not give out such high government taxes, then nothing would shut down, more people would be employed, and our overall nation would have a better economy.

A second issue that is very important to me as well in my opinion is that the wealthy should be taxed higher than the lower and middle class. On issue 7, the wealthy should be taxed higher than middle and ower classes, I would agree with that. I agree with this statement because the wealthy have the money to spend on the economy to help our nation stay put together while the lower and middle classes do not have the money, and most of them work extremely hard to get what they have. I completely understand the republican point of view when they argue back and say but what about the lower and middle classes that do not try, do not have jobs, and only buy things they do not need. But for the ones that do work, the ones that do try their best everyday, I would have to go with the Democradic point of view.

A third and final issue that is very important to me and that I agree with would be the death penalty. The issue is that the death penalty is a very cruel and an unusual punishment. I disagree. I think that the death penalty is not cruel if a criminal deserves it. If the defendant is truly and honestly innocent, then it is cruel and unusual. That is why I think the lie test needs to be used more often and more things need to be looked into and invented to prevent things like an innocent person is being held as guilty. I do think it is a bit different, but after looking into it and researching punishments, it has gone through history where in the medevil times, before there was the electric chair, there were public hangings.

About AHYDASH and [|HGOSNELL'S] bill:

Our proposed bill, "Cash for College", is about making college and the fees more affordable. I did a survery about people going to college. Most of them said that they did not go to college said it was because they didn't think they could afford it, they were bad in debt and the banks would not give them loans, or that they said it was just too expensive and they thought that they had other options. With the personal survey I did, 65% of the people that did not go to college said they would if they could but they either feel it is too late or it is still too expensive. I support this bill because as I talked to the people for the survey, I feel that I and my partner Representative Heather Gosnell can make a differance for not only these people, but their future children and grandchildren. Plus, there would be a tax deduction or credit for the people who pay for college or use their money for education. For more information about the bill you can go and view [|Our Bill's Link]
