Unit 2 Topic

When I first started brainstorming to choose my topic I came up with was taxes. And then I narrowed it down to which different economic groups of people are affected and how they are affected with our current tax policies compared with each of the presidential candidates proposed tax policies. I then narrowed it down to the general overall effect that Obama's proposed tax plans will have on each economic group, who will benefit from it and who will suffer from it and how it is different compared with how taxes are today. Generally anyone who pays taxes has experience with this issue. Since I do not pay taxes yet, I figured this would serve well as a neutral topic for me. Even though not everyone pays taxes, in general everyone will still be impacted by it, for example, even though I do not pay taxes it will still affect me since my both my parents taxes are basically going to skyrocket if Obama is elected, I will probably have to end up taking out student loans for my education that I will have to pay off later, so it will affect me. I am sure there are thousands of other college students with my situation. This is an issue that everyone is talking about, but the main people concerned are those with incomes who pay taxes, so mainly people in their late twenties and older. I am sure that the news and media will be a great source for this.
