Introduction
Money has become the number one reason for most people to live today. At the beginning of the human race water, food and shelter were the three priorities in life for every human; society have changed that. Humans are constantly in the search for ways to make more money with less effort.
- Should taxes on people making over $250,000 a year be changed?
- Should unemployment regulations and benefits be changed?
- Should child welfare regulations be changed?
Should taxes on people making over $250,000 a year be changed?
The reason I picked this research topic is because as an American, we all have to pay taxes. While others only utilize government taxes in one way or another. The sad thing about taxes is that the majority of citizens in the United States of America have no idea why they are paying taxes? Why is paying tax important? What happen with that money or even where the money comes from? Understanding the roots of every problem and educating the rest of the people around you is the beginning of getting our nation back on track.
Should unemployment regulations and benefits be changed?
According to the Employment Security Department, “Unemployment benefits are made available through taxes paid by your former employer(s) to partially replace your regular earnings and help you meet expenses while you look for another job. These benefits are intended to assist workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, and are not based on financial need. While receiving benefits, it is still your responsibility to get back to work as quickly as you can.” According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as June 2015 the nation unemployment rate is 5.3%, which are 16,960,000 people without unemployment. Why did I pick this subject? Because my husband works as the Safety Manager for a Commercial Fishing Company where right now his Human Resource Department is looking to fill 63 positions for fisherman and they can’t find people that wants to work. You don’t need an education or special skills; all you need is the willingness to work. But, people rather stay at home and get a paycheck than go to work.
Should child welfare regulations be changed?
Take a few minutes and go to any public place and count how many pregnant women you see and then multiply that by $194.00 USD, which according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is what a mother receives per person in a house. Kids are a blessing for a family, and it should be a way for a family to grow and continue their culture from generation to generation. Kids or children shouldn’t be the government’s responsibility. A family should be planned and if is not planned is still the parents or the family’s responsibility to provide for that child, rather than having children for the government to support and your family to receive more benefits.
