    Gov. Bobby Jindal’s tax plan proposal would phase out the states income tax and corporate tax by raising the sales tax throughout the state of Louisiana. In Jindal’s vision, cutting the states income tax and corporate tax in exchange of raising the sales tax, would generate more money for the state of Louisiana. He believed the proposal was part of the answer to budget crisis plaguing Louisiana, but other legislatures did not agree with the proposal. Legislature’s believed the proposal would weigh in to harsh on the poor and benefit the wealthy citizens of Louisiana only. The scrutiny of the tax plan caused Jindal to park the tax proposal (Adelson, 2013). Instead of going forward with the proposal, Jindal asked for the cooperation of legislatures in phasing out the state’s income tax.…

    The following questions are listed chronologically by subjects. It is hoped that clues as to how subjects in United States History can be presented analytically can be identified by studying this list. Many of the questions required students to compare two or more periods of history, and these questions appear in each period specified in the essay. The questions are placed under the titles of the topics I use in my U.S. History A.P. course. I. The Founding of the Colonies, 1607-1688 1. "Throughout the Colonial period, economic concerns had more to do with the settling of British North America than did religious concerns." Assess the validity of this statement with specific reference to economic and religious concerns. (1990, question 2) 2. "Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development occur?" Use the documents AND your knowledge of the colonial period up to 1700 to develop your answer. (1993, DBQ)** 3. "In the seventeenth century, New England Puritans tried to create a model society. What were their aspirations, and to what extent were those aspirations fulfilled during the seventeenth century?"

    I am going to raise the individual income tax which might anger people; however I am lowering the excise taxes which is for gas, etc. I am also raising corporate income taxes because big franchise companies can afford to give up some of their income to be able to give more elsewhere. I thought lowering the social insurance and retirement receipts was a good idea because there are programs and benefits that are already implemented into this and the extra money will be put in areas that do not have extra help and rely just on the money inflow. I increased the other category because since it incorporates multiple programs, the big increase will be spread across a lot of different programs therefore, to each individual program it will not be a big increase. I lowered the National Defense spending because since we won the war overseas, we are bringing more and more troops home and even though it is not a “total peace time,” we do not have to spend as much as…

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC enforces federal laws in regards to discrimination against employees and job applicants alike for businesses of 20 or more employees. Employers are not allowed to discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, disabilities, age or genetic information (Editorial Board, 2011). They also investigate complaints of sexual harassment. The EEOC was established through the Civil Rights Act of 1964. There are many laws that have to followed by the human resource departments and are overlooked by the EEOC, for instance, using words in a job advertisement that could in any way discourage some people from applying, recruiting in ways that could be seen as discriminating, how a hiring manager decides on who to hire for a job if there could be a conflict, for instance at the City of Charlotte we take bids for…
