1) Introduction of Economic Issue In my point of view, I completely disagree with the notion that the rich should pay more taxes. I strongly oppose over payment of taxes from the rich. In my point of view, the rich should be thanked for their great contribution to the economy of a nation rather than forcing them to pay more taxes than an ordinary citizen. It would be totally unfair to them to be victimized just because they are rich in the society (Olken, & Singhal, 2009). There are a number of reasons why I oppose this notion; one thing that ...

Darwinian mentality can be justified in that it helps to weed out the weaker workforce and would ensure selection and reproduction of a stronger generation of workers with the best qualities. ...

1. Is singer’s comparison of Dora and wealthy Americans an oversimplification? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe that the comparison of Dora and wealthy Americans was an oversimplification. It is a bit drastic to say that people would directly choose to purchase objects of luxury and put a child to death.
