The Pros and Cons of Tax Increases
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the pros and cons of tax increases. Increases in income, payroll and property taxes usually meet with opposition when proposed by government officials. However, in many instances an increase in taxes can in the short and long term benefit those who pay them and those who rely on government funding to live. While in many cases, an increase in tax may be used to pay of local, state or federal deficits, in the case of taxes for benefit systems such as Social Security an increase in payroll tax may be the only option available in order to maintain the program, currently expected to begin an annual deficit in 2018. Other tax increases can be seen to benefit residents in a particular community immediately as in the case of Seattle area residents who have been asked to approve a tax increase to maintain the current park system.

The Supreme Court And Campaign Finance: Infringement Upon Democratic Process?
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. When the Supreme Court of the United States initially placed restrictions upon the issue of campaign finances, the country cried foul with regard to constitutional rights. Imposing monetary limits on what political candidates could spend, said some, was going against the very grain of American freedom. Political contributions were getting out of hand, at which point a law was enacted in 1974 as a means by which to offset the notion of dirty politics by removing the one entity that played the most integral role: money. The writer discusses that while the issue of restraint is not, in and of itself, a negative concept, the idea of proposing limits based upon monetary consumption is a direct violation of the democratic system upon which this country was founded.
