• The commentators kick off the debate by asking the candidates about the minimum wage and taxes. Donald Trump answers this question with declaring that he would not raise the minimum wage because it would mean having to raise taxes, likewise it would not allow the United States compete with other countries. Ben Carson answers this question however with stated that he would like to make the minimum wage lower, but only for younger people, like teenagers so that they can get working experience in order to become more successful in life. However the commentators ask Carson if he would raise is and he like Trump states no. Rubio answers the question by stating that he would also not raise minimum wage, but rather try to bring jobs and industry …show more content…
Bush states how some believe that his plan for jobs and such is the best plan out there and that if he will become president he will cut regulations and increase investments which will create higher paying jobs and more growth in the economy, and to do this he will repeal all acts passed by Obama. • Kasich argues against Trump’s planned immigration policy of removing the 11 million illegal immigrants from America, arguing that the plan would be ineffective, and idiotic. Trump butts in trying to defend his plan, however before the two can get into a major argument the commentators draw back the professionalism of the debate, likewise Jeb Bush also agrees with Kasich with the fact that it’s not practical that Trump’s plan would work and that moving 11 million illegal immigrants out of the country would be a waste of time and money. • Towards the end of the debate Trump states how he believes that businesses should stop outsourcing to foreign countries, stating that as president he would try and make America seem more likeable to business in order to bring back big businesses to the United States and to better the economy; likewise creating more jobs for the American
The “President’s address to the Nation” is a claim of policy. President Bush is asking people to support his policy that “we” have to keep fighting the war “until either we or the extremists emerge victorious.” To hold up his claim of such a policy, he uses three supports during the speech.
The underlying assumption: Donald Trump will say that he is going to ‘Make America Great Again’ but he won’t act on his promises to his voters.
He is going to reform the national debt problems with many different resources. Hopefully, he is going to raise taxes for the richer and leave the taxes in a moderate area for the working class. He is going to crack down big time on illegal immigration. He is going to make the processes to buy guns more thorough and make sure to focus on mental illness more, which he believes is the reason to the mass shooting and school killings, not the guns. I believe that his main voter group will be working white males, because of his views of reformation. He isn’t going to raise their taxes, they will be allowed to keep their guns, and he is promising to make illegal immigration ceases. All of these issues are targeted to working white men, which 77% of America is Caucasian and 49.2% of the population is male. If Donald trump sticks to what he has said when he is elected president, I believe he may actually make America great
Minimum wage has been around for ages. Minimum wage employment was a temporary condition for people earning little payment until they moved on to a better paying job. These jobs helped build résumés, experiences, and skills for a better career. It has become the easiest way for people to receive easy pay. As years went on that idea began to demolish into a job that many families can get to survive and pay for their expenses. There have been many arguments going on, "Should minimum wage be raised or should it be lowered or eliminated altogether?" This action has its pros and cons. It can benefit many families as living cost has gone up, price for education is rising, and college students are in huge debts. It may increase poverty, but those
The former President Barack Obama delivered a speech on June 15, 2012 from Rose Garden, White House to address a new policy called DREAM Act. His intended audience is Republicans, Congress, and all fellow Americans. This speech was conveyed before his re-election campaign. He wanted to mend the immigration policy, to make it more fair and efficient for certain young people called Dreamers. Obama wants the Congress to pass this act because he believes that these young kids have potential to better the United States in many aspects. He believes that it is the right thing to do because these young individuals were brought in to this country by their parents at very young age and that was not their choice. He emphasizes that they have been raised
getting harder and harder as the cost of living keeps rising. While the cost of education, housing, groceries, healthcare, and utilities continuing to cost more, the American worker is scrambling to make ends meet on low wage incomes. Marco Rubio, author, politician, and attorney of law reveals, “Today the current federal minimum wage is $7.25 a hour, and has not been raised in seven years. In reality, a person working full time at a hourly wage of $7.25 will make about $14,000 a year”. Given that, the federal government deemed that the poverty line is anyone who makes less that 17,000 a year. Imagine supporting a family on those figures. Since it is apparent that the current minimum wage earner can not make enough money to support themselves, let alone a family, the minimum wage needs to be raised.
He states that although the stock market has been good to him, it is "so bloated" and he hates to see how it negatively affects others. Trump then goes on to say that his wealth and success in business alone qualify him to be president and read his net worth to the thousandth dollar. "That's the kind of thinking our country needs." Trump hopes that his wealth will appeal to voters and set himself apart from career politicians. "I'm really rich," Trump said, adding that his confident attitude is what the country really needs after having "losers" run the country. Trump ended his speech saying,"But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again." This is an example of repetition, because he repeated the phrase "make America great again" all throughout his speech. Trump uses repetition in his speech to also help emphasize his point and help the audience remember his
America is currently working on the issue of whether the minimum wage should be increased from $7.25 to $10.10 and economists are studying the effects of the possible increase. Minimum wage workers deal with struggles such as affording health care, paying for education, providing food for their families, putting many hours of work in while making little income and paying their bills. America’s decision to raise the minimum wage would help low wage workers to make higher incomes and would overall strengthen the economy, pulling Americans out of poverty. Americans may hold a minimum wage job if they do not have money to attend a college or university to obtain a degree in order to find a career.
There has been a lot of fuss over the issue of illegal immigration. It truly is one of America’s biggest problems, in my opinion. This has been an issue in our country for years and it is about time we resolve the issue. The two of our 2016 candidates had very different views on the situation and both felt very strongly about it.
A structural explanation of poverty places the blame on restricted opportunities caused by an unbalanced social and economic structure (Kornblum and Seccombe, 2017). The textbook explains, “3.6 million hourly workers earn the minimum wage (or less)” (Kornblum and Seccombe, 2017). Minimum wage is not enough for a family to survive on. In Tammy’s situation she is an employee at Burger King. In the video, Tammy explains that she was not even offered the $9 dollar an hour, as the other employees received compared to her $7.85. With only minimum wage, Tammy must walk to work, has no health insurance or retirement. Using the structural explanation, a dual market appears, indicating that the favored social group will receive better jobs and security.
The minimum wage being too low has been a public issue in America for generations. Basically, the debate includes two different opinions. Firstly, people who want to raise the minimum wage, and second, people who would rather is stay the same. The overwhelming majority of liberals are on the side that favors a raise. Additionally, a somewhat smaller proportion of conservatives favor the change as well, but for different reasons. The liberal opinion on raising the minimum wage is based on the idea that putting more money in the people’s pockets, will stimulate the economy, and decrease poverty. The problem that conservatives and liberals alike have with this, is that a few direct consequences are proven to apply when raising wages. Some proposed consequences include unemployment, inflation, and unfairness to higher educated people. Another main point is that raising the minimum wage is thought to helps small business by increasing worker satisfaction. This issue of minimum wage has become increasingly popular and important in current times, as president Obama has proposed the idea of raising the minimum wage of contract workers to 10.10$ per hour (about a 30% increase from the current 7.25$ per hour minimum wage). A large number of people consider this wage hike unnecessary due to the fact that today’s value of minimum is higher than it has ever been since the 80’s, and because the wage hike comes at too high of a cost. All things considered, the issue of raising minimum wage is not a battle of political parties and their agendas, its really a debate between everyone.
I agree with Jeb’s statements on fixing our broken immigration system, securing the border, dealing with the current illegal immigrants and being sure that it is an easier process to become a legal immigrant over an illegal one. Jeb Bush disagrees with Trumps idea of mass deportation because it would tear communities apart and be a hard to task to complete without overlooking certain illegal immigrants. He believes that immigrants aren’t bad for our country because it gives us diversity. Although, he is strongly against sanctuary cities and called to withhold federal law enforcement funds for such cities and be sure to detain and deport illegal immigrants who are criminals. Jeb’s main point seems to be greatly strengthening border security for national security and public health reasons. He believes we must stop the ones coming in, and make the illegal ones already in America go through a lengthy process to become legalized. Overall, I strongly agree with Jeb Bush’s ideas and believe that he has come up with some great strategies to lessen the amount of illegal immigrants in our country
For many people in the United States, life is no more than a regular work cycle. Members of working class usually have a High School diploma and may work in a low skilled occupation or manual labor. Most of the enjoying age of this people is spent in working, as they don’t want their new once to have a life they struggling through. Therefore, this essay will argue that minimum wage should be increased federally to $15/hour by 2017. Firstly, if taxes touches the sky, why should the minimum wage be on the ground? Increasing minimum wages would also create new opportunities for education as the students wouldn’t have to work crazy hours. Likewise, many couples won’t have to work multiple jobs in order to manage the household. Lastly, it will lift
On the 1st of April 1999, the National Minimum Wage (NMW) was introduced in the UK at a rate of £3.60 per hour for workers aged 21 and older, and at a rate of £3.00 for workers aged 18-21. Since then, it has grown steadily to reach a rate of £6.31 per hour today. The NMW is “the minimum pay per hour that almost all workers are entitled to by law” (www.gov.uk). In 1999, 1.9 million people were paid less than £3.60, sometimes even below the Living Wage due to the dismantling of unions by the Thatcher government. The idea of a minimum wage then came up, supported by the Labour Party, in order to reduce the increasing poverty and to prevent low wages workers from being exploited by their employers. The Conservative Party, supported by employers, was strongly opposed to this project, arguing that a minimum wage will damage the economy and create poverty due to higher unemployment levels. So, how does the NMW really affect poverty and employment in the UK?
For the past three decades minimum wage has been seen to rise several times. Only helping some but more than anything harming most. So who are the ones feeling the effects? Certainly not the wealthy, it never is them, mainly it would be the working poor, unskilled and teenagers. Raising minimum wage would cripple the public even more than what it would actually help.
