Eighth discussion

Topic " Should we introduce sales tax system?"


Agree side: Alex and Anna
Disagree side: Rie, Rachel and Amy(I)

Rie
He thought it's not fair for less income people to pay sales tax because sales tax is equal to everyone. And the income tax is better than sales tax because income tax is


Rachel
She also disagreed with this topic and there are both the rich and poor. And we can't distinguish whether the rich or poor when we went shopping. Even if the sales tax rate depends on the income, we can't find low income or high income.


Amy (I)
I thought inspite of not changing our income, if we introduce it, we'll come not to buy many things and Apollon's economy may decline. Besides, as a doctor, we people who work at the hospital need to buy big medical instruments. They cost a lot of money without sales tax.


Anna
She thought sales tax system can gather a lot of money from everyone easily. And we can use the money for Sunflower festival.


Alex
Her son will enter the elementary school and if sales tax system is introduced, they don't have to cost a lot of money for education fee.


<Question>
Q: What do you think about sales tax's unfairness?
A: We should separate the tax rate between the rich and the poor by showing their income something like paper.


Q:In spite of not changing our income, we have to pay more money. What do you think about it?
A: I agree, but we have a lot of national debt and we have to pay more money.


Q: What percent of sales tax do you want to decide?
A: 3%


Q:What kind of taxes are in Apollon now?
A: Excepting for sales tax and income tax. For example, resident's tax.


<Conclusion>
We couldn' decide whether we introduce income tax or sales tax. But if we introduce sales tax, we'll set 3%.


In fact, I couldn't understand same side panelist's idea, so I couldn't support it. Besides, I couldn't express my opinion clearly and qustioned other panelists because of my shyness. It was very bad point of me, so I want to change myself. The moderator Kate summarized everyone's idea and worked hard. I want to be the panelist who can support the moderator next time!
