Obama debates on Tax reduction


      On Tuesday morning, the President and both parties of Republican and Democratic leaders are having a debate on the expiring of Bush era tax cuts issue. Each side is having their own opinion on the subject; it’s difficult to determine a common ground. The House Republican Whip Eric Cantor announced “one of the biggest hurdles to job creation is uncertainty in the business community over tax policy.” In addition, Cantor believes that this is not the right time to raise tax on everyone especially when the government wants to create more jobs. Obama believes this meeting will have a solution to sold the economic recession and provide a better life for American citizens in the future.  Eric Cantor agrees to cut taxes on middle-class families and small business because it allows them to have a better chance to stay in business or job.  To conclude, each side is reluctant to find a common ground on the subject, so the meeting will continue progress in the future. In my perspective, the Bush era tax cuts have been created close to a decade but the problem is still remaining the same. The unemployment’s rate has increasing than the previous year and other small business had gone bankruptcy. For example, GM motor is one of the largest autos –maker in the United States has to IPO their stock to pay for debt and other stakeholders. Therefore, I believe, the government system must find another method to solve this economic rather than deducting tax.

Lina's View on Government



   In the United States, immigration subject can be the most critical aspect today. I am agreeing with Lina’s perspective about “human being is a human being” there is no other rational theory can justified. Regardless of our skin color, our basic survival needs are the same as other. I can imagine the scenes of illegal immigration flee over to the United States back in the 70’s. Lot of people scarified to pursue happiness in another nation.  Most of immigration came to America for a dream for better life and the life other their younger generation. However, I believe this is not the fault of the people, it the fault of their government system. If the government can do more productive subject for their citizen then the tragedy would not occurred today. To illustrate, Mexico government is controlling by Mexican cartel. The disaster leads to drug war within the nation and United States border. This will affect citizens the most because the government does not consider their people as the top priority. I believe Lina make a strong statement by saying “would not want to raise my children in such a hostile and dangerous environment,” this is the main reason that other aliens are fleeing to better nation. For another example, Hong Kong is one of the four tiger in Asian, it is part of China but it doesn’t consider as a Communist Party. The life and benefit of citizens are much greater than China so the punishment on illegal immigration is more severe than United States.
