School Question about Katrina and Taxes
self

Posted on 10/09/2005 8:35:58 PM PDT by sofiakp89

I am 16 years old and in the speech and debate team at my high school. Our current topic for debate is: "Should the United States federal government fund Hurricane Katrina relief and rebuilding by ending President Bush's tax cuts?" I strongly disagree with the proposition, but I need more evidence and reasons to back up my argument. Suggestions and facts would be greatly appreciated!!

exactly... and the arguments are determined well before the school year starts... they don't change them base on current events.

Its not a tax cut when it is our money in the first place. The proper way to phrase the question would be; should the president raise taxes to fund Katrina hurricane relief? Don’t you people take English classes anymore?

Hey, now! Sofia is my daughter. Please, be nice. I told her about the nice people on this web site. I tried to give her some starting points, but I thought that she should talk to the experts.
