  1. To be or not to be taxed? Luz Stella Alexis Mason Alex Beecham Victoria Sanchez

  2. Reasons why the tax cuts should be extended • 1.       The wealthy need to help stimulate the economy • 2.       They earn their money and work hard for it • 3.       If big businesses have higher taxes to pay then they cant pay their employees as well

  3. For the median family with two children, earning $67,000 per year, the Bush Tax Cuts meant a tax cut of $1,133 each year, erasing 22% of their current tax liability. A family earning $40,000 saw 96% of their tax liability erased, while a family earning $200,000 saw just 9% of their tax liability erased compared to the prior rate under Bill Clinton.

  4. NEGATIVES about Obama’s plan • We would over tax the government and you don't want to depend on the government for everything.  • Taking money away from private hands would make economic recovery more difficult. • In taxing the higher income percentage of the population more, the wealthy will cut back on expenses, which could freeze spending and worsen the economy.
