Flat Tax Tax Reform
1,202 words
... nt of the income distribution (Hamond 1).
Families with the same total income will face
vastly different tax burdens depending on how they
earn their income. The family that earns a larger
share of its income from labor will pay a higher
personal tax than the family that collects more of
its income from interest, dividends, and capital
gains (Hamond 1). Those in favor of the flat tax
would rebut with the fact that all capital income
is already taxed at the business level. One of the

Late At Night Board Of Education

The proposal submitted by the local Board of
Education to start high school earlier is absurd.
Although the idea of accommodating an expanding
schedule may sound convincing, there are many
factors that should be taken into consideration
before making a final decision. I believe that
starting school earlier could have negative
effects on high school students due to sleep
deprivation of the teenagers during adolescence.

Ethical Decision Social Responsibility
927 words
Self-responsibility and interest can be examined
in different perspectives. By nature, a person
usually expects to reach his goal without
considering the possibility of his or her decision
and how it may affect the community around them.
It is often times very difficult to differentiate
responsibility from self-interest due to the fact
that the consequences of being responsible
conflict with the achievements of personal goals.
