    Unemployment recently has been a major problem in the United States. We have to get our abled workers back to work. Current information from the U.S. Department of Labor in October 2012 reports that the unemployment rate was at 7.9 percent. To help solve some of the problems with unemployment, we recommend that government provide tax cuts to small businesses. Small businesses are at a disadvantage competing against larger and more powerful businesses. Every penny earned is valuable in small business, to continue day-to-day operations.

    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 current Texas Governor, Rick Perry, announced his candidacy for President on August 13, 2011, and looks like he is in line for the number one spot in the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Perry, a committed conservative, grew up in a small, rural town called Paint Creek, where he worked on the family farm, played football and was a dedicated Boy Scout. Perry actually went to Texas A&M University and was an Aggie Yell Leader for the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets, graduating with the class of ‘72. Perry then enlisted in the Air Force, but was honorably discharged 5 years later with the rank of Captain. Perry went back to his home town and ended up marrying his high school sweetheart, and a few short years after had a son and daughter. After Perry went on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives, he took the spot of Agriculture Commissioner and served two terms there. Perry then ran for Lieutenant Governor of Texas and two years later became Governor, when George W. Bush resigned to become President.

    In President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union address, Obama advocated for increasing the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour. The timing of Obama’s speech comes at a time when income inequality has become the biggest economic issue in the United States of America. During the Great Depression, The United States of America designed a minimum wage as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Since its inception, the government required minimum wage has grown from 25 cents to $7.25 per hour. Unfortunately, the erosion of consumer buying power has decreased at a compounding rate and in America’s consumerist society the expected standard of living has also gone up with inflation. In response to rising inflation with the Federal minimum wage, states should be allowed to make the decision on price floors such as minimum wage.…

    Trends in the United States economy continue to unravel the relationship between employer and employee, the means by which workers obtain group health insurance through their employers. The result has been an increasing number of uninsured individuals.

    Minimum Wage

    While many support the idea of raising minimum wage, those opposing the idea claim that raising the minimum is rather detrimental than beneficial to workers and companies, as there is a higher risk of one losing their jobs and items becoming more expensive. It is seen by that raising minimum wage, it costs more to keep an employee, and when a company cannot afford to keep that employee any longer, they lay them off. Director Michael Hicks of Ball State University's Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER), illustrates this by providing a study in which it was found that between the ten year span of 1999 to 2009, the minimum wage increase to $7.25 affected some businesses, whom had to “scale back on filling vacant positions or eliminate jobs altogether” (Hicks). Additionally, The Reason Foundation points out…

    Minimum Wage

    In this year’s State of the Union Address to Congress, President Obama recommended raising the minimum wage to benefit workers who cannot support themselves and their families with their current salaries. The articles, Why We Need to Raise the Minimum Wage and Why We Shouldn’t Raise the Minimum Wage tell us that there were some controversies in raising the minimum wage. As an economics major, I believe it is a bad idea to raise the minimum wage because it creates more unemployment, and it will reduce entry-level jobs. Since increasing minimum wage is not the solution to the poor people, the government should rather increase the earned income tax credit than minimum wage.…

    There has been a lot of discussion regarding the increase of minimum wage across the nation. Currently, the wage is set at a low amount of $7.25 an hour. In today’s society it is almost impossible to live on only an income of $7.25 an hour especially for those who are raising a family. In President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address, the president proposed to raise the minimum wage to 9 dollars by the year 2015 (Luhby). A higher minimum wage would help people living in poverty by providing better means of financial stability, and it would also improve the chances of those people trying to escape poverty stricken living conditions. Another bonus to increasing the minimum wage is that it could potentially…
