The document outlines the policymaking process and several domestic policy issues in the United States. It discusses the 5 stages of the policymaking process: agenda building, policy formulation, policy adoption, policy implementation, and policy evaluation. It also covers major domestic policy topics like health care, immigration, crime, energy/environment, and economic policy issues including unemployment, recession, inflation, fiscal policy, monetary policy, and taxation.
Why Obama Is Wrong
The document discusses the financial crisis and responses to it. It argues that government policy mistakes led to the crisis and that bailouts will not solve it. Keynesian economic policies like increased spending and stimulus plans will not work and instead will lead to higher long-term government spending and taxation that hinders growth. The ideal approach is to limit government's role to core functions, lower taxes broadly, and let markets correct problems without intervention.
Micro Economics Chapter 20 , The Distribution of Income by (Nouman Khilji)
This chapter discusses income inequality and policies to reduce poverty. It finds that wealth and income are unequally distributed around the world. Various measures are used to quantify inequality like the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. However, measuring inequality is challenging due to issues like transitory versus permanent income. Governments aim to redistribute income through policies like minimum wages, social security programs, negative income taxes, and in-kind transfers to improve living standards. The goal is to help the poor escape poverty through work incentives and anti-poverty programs.

Pink Taxes and Gender-Based Taxation in Nigeria
This document discusses gender-based taxation and "pink taxes" in Nigeria. It defines gender-based taxation as taxes that explicitly or implicitly discriminate between men and women. Pink taxes refer to higher prices charged for products targeted at women compared to similar men's products. The document examines how tax rules can interact with socioeconomic realities like lower female labor participation, income inequality, and poverty to disadvantage women. It analyzes different types of taxes like income tax, property tax, consumption tax and argues that Nigeria's VAT on feminine hygiene products amounts to an unfair tax on basic biological needs. The document recommends achieving gender-neutral tax laws and exempting feminine hygiene products from VAT in Nigeria.

introduction to public finance
This document discusses several key topics in public finance:
1) It outlines the role of government in creating conditions for a free market through protecting private property rights.
2) It examines how free markets usually work well for consumers through competition among producers, but may fail due to externalities or lack of competition.
3) It explores some challenges governments face in intervening in markets, such as political pressures, performing accurate cost-benefit analysis, and determining the appropriate level of government.

The document discusses the history and current status of the federal minimum wage in the United States. It was first established in 1938 by the Fair Labor Standards Act and has been amended several times to increase the minimum hourly rate. Currently, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour but some advocate raising it due to many Americans still living in poverty while working full-time minimum wage jobs. Supporters argue a raise would boost the economy through increased consumer spending, while opponents believe it could increase unemployment and business costs. The document also outlines who is eligible for minimum wage protection and penalties for employers that do not pay their workers the minimum wage.
Roles of government in a market economy
The document discusses the various roles of government in a market economy. It outlines how governments establish rules and regulations, provide public goods and services that markets cannot efficiently provide, address issues like externalities and market failures, redistribute income, protect property rights, and promote overall economic stability and growth. While markets are effective at providing many private goods and services, government intervention is needed in areas where markets are inefficient or fail to allocate resources effectively.
The great recession
The Great Recession had widespread negative economic impacts across many sectors. Manufacturing, housing, and construction experienced the largest job losses, with 8 million jobs lost overall. Unemployment rose significantly, disproportionately affecting those with less education. The recession increased economic hardships for many, including higher rates of poverty, food insecurity, and households spending large portions of income on housing. A full recovery will require job creation, restored confidence, retraining workers, and improvements to education to develop skills for available jobs.

Presentation on Taxes
Taxes are collected by the government to fund federal spending and services based on powers granted in the Constitution. There are direct taxes paid by property owners and indirect taxes paid by consumers. The income tax became a major revenue source in 1913 and 1918. Government spending includes controllable spending set annually by Congress and uncontrollable entitlement programs. The public debt has increased over time as borrowing is used to fund deficits when spending exceeds revenue.

The document discusses several aspects of the policy-making process in the United States. It covers how political agendas are set by determining issues for government to address. It also examines how government scope tends to increase over time through changes in attitudes and events. Additionally, it analyzes the influence of institutions like courts and bureaucracy, as well as other factors such as interest groups, media, and states. The document then classifies different types of politics based on who benefits and pays for policies, including majoritarian, interest group, client, and entrepreneurial politics.
Revenue structure decision making
1) The document discusses several topics related to government revenue structures and decision making, including excess burden of taxation, the distributional effects of different tax structures, the impact of government debt on future generations, and alternative ways of financing government activities.
2) It provides definitions and explanations of key concepts such as excess burden, the three stages of capital formation, and different principles for distributing the burden of government finance like benefit principle and ability to pay.
3) The document suggests that governments can raise money through taxation, borrowing by issuing bonds, and printing money, and that alternative financing methods should be evaluated based on criteria like equity, efficiency, and administrative ease.
Social Security
This document discusses the history and current state of Social Security in the United States. It provides background on how Social Security was established in the 1930s to provide economic security for older Americans. It also discusses criticisms of the current Social Security system and various proposals for reforming it, including partially privatizing accounts or raising taxes. Projections show the system will face a funding shortfall in coming decades as more baby boomers retire.
FPTP - Making Work Pay?
With several key benefit reforms underway and the government still aiming to cut welfare spending by at least £18bn before the next general election, social security is bound to be an issue high on the party conference agenda.
Lescht_EITC
This document summarizes research on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program in the United States. It discusses how the EITC has grown to be the largest welfare program, providing $78 billion in 2011. While the EITC encourages single mothers to enter the workforce, its effect on hours worked is unclear, with some studies finding no change and others a small decrease. The document reviews literature showing the EITC increases labor force participation but has mixed effects on hours worked. It also discusses how individuals' understanding of the EITC schedule impacts earnings and how more research is needed to fully understand the EITC's effects on pre-tax income.

FIX_HOUSING
This document discusses how investing in housing can help create jobs, attract businesses, and restore the economy. It notes that a lack of affordable and stable housing has negatively impacted many Minnesotans through rising homelessness, higher housing costs, and job losses. Maintaining current funding for agencies that support housing would leverage additional funds and ultimately create over 8,000 jobs and add $1.4 billion to Minnesota's economy while helping families and stabilizing communities.
Pest (political)
The document discusses various political factors that influence international business, including political systems, ideologies, and government structures. It notes that firms must understand how local political environments differ and adjust accordingly. When operating abroad, companies should not assume they can directly transfer their practices and instead must accept different political and legal systems in other countries. The document also provides examples of various political systems like individualism vs. collectivism, democratic vs. totalitarian systems, and discusses considerations for doing business in countries like China which has a more bureaucratic rather than legal-based system.
Pest (political)
The document discusses various political factors that impact international business, including political systems, ideologies, and government approaches. It notes that firms looking to operate abroad must understand and adapt to different political environments rather than assuming direct transfer of their domestic practices. Specifically, it examines concepts like individualism vs. collectivism, democratic vs. totalitarian systems, and provides examples of political situations in countries like China, the UK, and Afghanistan that international businesses must consider.
8.1 notes
1. The document discusses the role of government in promoting economic progress by protecting individual rights and providing certain goods, but argues that government is not well-suited to correct economic issues or redistribute wealth.
2. It proposes private savings accounts as an alternative to social security, noting that such programs in other countries like Chile were very successful and created real wealth for citizens.
3. If social security is not reformed, the document warns that taxes will have to be greatly increased to unsustainable levels, putting pressure on policies like euthanasia of less productive citizens.
2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act
The document summarizes the key provisions and benefits of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It discusses that the law aims to expand health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, protect people with pre-existing conditions, help families and small businesses afford coverage, and lower the growth of health care costs over time through increased prevention, quality improvements, and market reforms. The law is paid for through a combination of savings, taxes and fees, and is projected to reduce the federal deficit.
Ch 14 presentation
The document discusses taxes and government spending at various levels of government. It explains that taxation is the primary way governments collect money to fund operations. The federal government's authority to tax comes from the Constitution and Congress has the power to levy taxes, subject to some limits. Federal taxes include individual and corporate income taxes, payroll taxes, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes. Federal spending goes towards entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, as well as discretionary spending on defense, education, and more. State and local governments also collect taxes and create operating and capital budgets to fund their operations.

A Test Of Policies: Wisconsin Vs Illinois
- Wisconsin passed Act 10 in 2010 which limited collective bargaining for public sector unions except for police and firefighters. This has helped reduce spending on benefits for public sector workers and helped balance Wisconsin's budget without major cuts to services.
- In contrast, Illinois has not passed similar reforms and faces major pension payment obligations and budget deficits as a result of benefits promised to public sector unions. Chicago faces $615 million in pension payments alone for this year's budget.
- The reforms in Wisconsin have helped reduce healthcare and pension costs for local schools by an estimated 45% by 2020 while Illinois continues to struggle with the costs of benefits promised to public sector unions.
How can haiti prepare for disruption in the future of work
The nature of work is changing. People will need to adapt and readapt. The Haitian government must invest in early childhood education and health and build a lifelong learning system that will allow the Haitian youngs and adults to be reskilled and/or upskilled in many cases. Also, it must build a social protection system that will promote a renewed social contract. In order to do so, the government may conduct tax reforms that will allow the leaders to find the financial means they need.
Dillard Tracy - Destination Economy
Destination Economy addresses short-term solutions to our pressing problems while providing a long-term plan for future economic growth. This proposal would impose responsible budgeting, and lay out an environment for job creation and business growth that embraces our numerous resources.
Illinois should no longer be the laughingstock of late night comedians; we should stand out as a national leader. We should stop squandering our precious intellectual and financial capital and embrace programs and initiatives that bring out the best of every region of Illinois and on Main Street. We need to create job opportunities for our children so they stay in Illinois. We want our kids to live 10 minutes away, not 10 hours.
We need to declare Illinois OPEN FOR BUSINESS and Make Illinois Work Again!

Fair Tax Presentation
This document summarizes and advocates for the FairTax plan, which would abolish all federal income taxes and replace them with a 23% national sales tax. It argues that the current tax system is overly complex, discourages work and economic growth. The FairTax would be simple, transparent and visible to taxpayers. It would tax consumption and ensure low-income households pay no taxes on basic necessities through a monthly tax rebate. Supporters believe the FairTax would boost the economy, make U.S. products more competitive, and generate the same tax revenue as the current system in a more efficient manner.

The Department of Treasury references three specific taxes that affect both consumers and producers and fund the public sector.
The first is income tax, which is a tax based on the amount of income that an individual makes, as well as businesses, that are used to fund Federal programs such as unemployment and social security. Second is what is known as a consumption tax. This tax, used by State and Federal government, is for public items such as roads and mass transit systems and, in this example, are taken from gasoline taxes. Third is a property tax, that is paid monthly with a mortgage that assists in funding State public school systems and may include levies when the original property tax is not enough.
The effect of higher taxes, specifically income tax, can cause the consumer hesitation to become a homeowner thereby lowering the amount of taxes that the Federal government (the producer) bring in to fund needed public programs. There are things that bring the consumer back into the fold of homeownership by creating incentives, such as deductions in yearly taxes for owning a home and paying interest on a mortgage just to name a few. Consumers also have the “need” (want) to know where their hard earned money is going and it is important for individuals know that “most of the Federal Government's revenue comes from personal income taxes. Other sources of revenue include social security and other insurance taxes and contributions, corporate income taxes, excise taxes” ("Economics of Taxation", 2016).
2. In the U.S., taxes make up the largest source of revenue for the Federal Government. The tax code is extremely complicated and navigating through it can be a challenge for individual taxpayers and businesses alike. Taxes are collected at both the Federal and State levels. At the Federal level you have four major key taxes that are collected. They are Individual Income tax, Social Security tax, Corporate Income tax, and Excise taxes. The United States has a progressive tax system in that the percentage of tax owed by the individual increases as they move up in the tax bracket. The more an individual earns, the more of a percentage that the government taxes. Social Security tax is collected in a manner that is regressive in that the closer the individual gets to reaching the required amount of taxed income, the less their percentage of taxed income becomes. Corporate Income tax differs from individual income tax in that it is often factored on the amount of revenue earned by the business minus the costs. Excise taxes (which are also assessed at the State level) is a tax placed on a specific good before it reaches the consumer. The State collects four major taxes to account for its revenue aside from those monies brought in through revenue from the Federal government and user charges. These taxes include Sales tax, Property tax, Personal Income tax, and Corporate Income tax. For ...

(1) Position Statement Topic: Minimum Wage Laws
(2) Minimum wage laws have been debated as a chief topic among legislators and economists alike,
especially recently with Bernie Sander’s proclamation that it should be set to $15/hour. A higher
minimum wage can stifle the growth of small businesses, and affect millions by increasing
unemployment for unskilled workers, while a lower minimum wage may contribute to increased
poverty or a poor standard of living for some. Under President Trump’s new tax plan, decreased
income tax rates for consumers allows them to spend more money, which in turn will help small
businesses, who also reap the benefits of a reduced corporate tax and capital gains tax. Because
these changes may spur a growth in economic activity going forward, the current federal
minimum wage of $7.25/hour should not be increased nor decreased in order to properly assess
the effects of Trump’s plan. Moreover, all 50 states should adhere to the minimum wage in order
to properly assess its economic impact on the U.S. as a whole.
(3) Economic Arguments Against My Position:
a. An increased minimum wage allows unskilled workers to contribute more to the
economy.
i. If workers earning the current minimum wage can take home more money, they
are inclined to spend that money and contribute to small businesses and help
boost economic activity.
ii. Since 2012, the Fight for $15 movement helped low-wage workers gain $61.5
billion in annual raises through state and local minimum wage increases
(National Employment, 2016).
b. An elimination of the minimum wage will spur economic growth and create new jobs.
i. A minimum wage must be set above the equilibrium price of labor in order to
take effect, and its effects are seen through the U.S.’s unemployment rates.
ii. In 2015, unemployment averaged 5.26%, implying that those who were
unemployed could have been employed in unskilled jobs if firms could afford to
hire them (Bureau, 2016).
1. Lost gains from labor trade create a need for the unemployed to enroll in
government welfare programs, with 6.2 million Americans receiving $32
billion in unemployment compensation in 2016 (United States, 2018).
2. Low-wage workers receive retarded wage growth when there is a small
increase in the minimum wage, compared to if there was no increase
(Lopresti, 2015).
iii. Companies that outsource production will bring manufacturing back to the U.S.,
creating jobs and utilizing land more efficiently.
1. Foreign-owned firms in Mexico and Venezuela pay workers more than
their domestically-owned counterparts, which suggests that those firms
(including those owned by U.S. entrepreneurs) that outsource pay foreign
workers below the U.S. minimum wage but above the domestic
minimum wage, if there is one (Aitken, 1995).
2. If there was no minimum wage, American companies would be
incentivized.

While we primarily consider them once a year during tax season, we deal with them often throughout the year. In addition to the benefits of file taxes on our income, we also have to pay taxes on the things we buy and the property we own. Total annual expenditures in the United States for these things add up to billions of dollars and include everything from Social Security and the military to garbage collection and park maintenance.

1 how should governments help those hurt by interna
This document discusses how governments should help those negatively impacted by international trade. It argues that governments need to address the hardship faced by displaced workers to maintain public support for free trade policies. The key principles that should guide government policy are: 1) supporting displaced workers rather than protecting jobs to avoid discouraging necessary economic dynamics, 2) protecting all displaced workers regardless of the cause of job loss, and 3) avoiding policies that discourage workers from finding new employment. Vocational training and wage subsidies have mixed results, while programs providing information about other job opportunities seem more promising. Governments should also ensure communities facing substantial job losses can still provide public goods like education.
5 big lies about taxes
This document summarizes and rebuts five common "lies" or misconceptions about taxes in the United States. The first is that tax dollars are wasted by government. However, taxes fund important and popular services like Social Security, infrastructure, and national defense. Second, it is a myth that cutting taxes increases revenue; in reality, tax cuts typically decrease revenue. Third, not half of Americans avoid taxes altogether as some claim, since most pay other taxes besides income tax. Fourth, US citizens are not overtaxed compared to history or other developed nations. Fifth, the perception that taxes are too high may stem from effective anti-tax rhetoric and public ignorance about tax rates and spending.

Tax Law Essay
Here is a summary of the sources and objectives of modern income tax statutes:
The primary sources of US tax law are Congress and the Treasury Department. Congress has the power to initiate tax legislation through the House of Representatives, but all tax bills must pass both the House and Senate and be signed by the President to become law. While Congress establishes the overarching tax policies, it often leaves details of legislation to the Treasury Department to adopt through regulations. The objectives of modern income tax statutes are to raise revenue for the government, promote social welfare programs, and influence the economy through incentives and penalties within the tax code. Tax laws aim to fairly and efficiently collect taxes from individuals and businesses based on their ability to pay.
