Internet Taxation
“Should We Tax the Internet?” was written in response to the recent findings of the Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce in the May 2000 issue of The American Spectator. The argument is between the liberals and conservatives on the issue of whether or not to tax Internet purchases. The liberals believe that Internet purchases should be taxed so that state and local tax bases are not eroded because of increasing Internet purchases. On the other end the conservatives believe that Internet purchases should be kept tax-free, since tracking sales are completed and several states are involved with each purchase. George Gilder the author of “Should We Tax the Internet?” is extremely conservative in his views and is against all taxes. The article aims to convince its readers that Internet taxation is unlawful and should not implemented because of past tax increases results.
To make Gilder’s arguments he uses logos arguments based on facts and reasons. Gilder implements his arguments into his article by relating the arguments to different peoples views and things. Gilder’s main argument is that “lower tax rates generate more revenue than higher ones” (Gilder 3). Through Gilder’s use of logos arguments, ethos arguments, and unique perspectives he makes an effective argument in favor of not implementing Internet taxes.
Gilder starts off by attacking Republicans, which are traditional conservative, by saying that they suffer from the “tax-raising itch” (Gilder 1). He then moves on to say that two billionaires that he recently talked to are more afraid of a “reckless tax cut” than war or terrorism. Gilder is starting his argument off by using ethos argument by giving perspectives from high profile Silicon Valley cent millionaires.
Gilder then goes onto to explain to his audience how taxes above a certain percent do not collect revenue. He does this by saying “that there has only been one advance since John Marshall opined that the power to tax is the power to destroy” (Gilder 3). John Marshall made this advance by showing that lower tax rates generate more revenues than higher ones. This is a logos argument, but is a fallacy because higher taxes would lead to higher revenues rather than lower taxes. Gilder then tries to make the argument that no tax rate above 20 percent collects revenue.

As the air-fuel mixture is burned, the gases expand so that the pressure is increased further. Part of this energy is captured by the turbine blades and translated into the rotation of the compressor shaft, and thereby supplying the energy the compressor needs to function.
Within a century, the Reformation started by Martin Luther had spread across Europe in several different forms. The protest of one German monk spread quickly throughout Europe in Germany, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, England, and Scotland. Within these regions, three prominent strands of Protestantism can be detected: Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anabaptism. Although Lutheranism and Anabaptism were fairly homogeneous in and of themselves, Calvinism was more diverse since it influenced various forms of Christianity included Protestantism in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and England. This paper will trace the developments and doctrines of Lutheranism to Calvinism and Anabaptism. First, Lutheranism will be shown to be a protest of Martin

...’t maybe he wants to find out the murderer and kill him? If people think he is the murderer is he going to be grievance? The emotion is just unpredictable and fascinating. But in the movie, Dave act like he is afraid of Jim and he is guilty when he sees him cry. This action strongly suggested he is the murderer. When we know that he is not the murderer of Katie, this scene seems gratuitous. Is he just afraid that Jim might suspect him?
Underage drinking occurs when anyone under the legal age of 21 has begun to drink. Alcohol drinking has become a vast problem among teens in the United States (Masten, Faden, Robert, Zucker, & Spear, 2009). The consumption of alcohol drinking among teens declined in the middle of the 1970’s but in 1993 it began to increase again. (Masten et al., 2009). By the age of 15, there has been at least one out of five who have tried alcohol and they have become heavy drinkers by the age of 18 (O’Connell, 2005). By the time teens are in 12th grade, there are at over three-quarters of those students reported have tried alcohol and at least three-fifths have reported being drunk once (Brown, et al., 2009). Children who begin drinking in high school continue to drink once they have completed high school (Brown, et al., 2009). Drinking alcohol by teens is risky not only because of the risks that can cause acute impairment, but also it can develop long-term development and well-being (O’connell, 2005). The long-term effect of underage drinker can effect teen’s developmental issues and cause health issues.
This article presents information that parents specifically can utilise when talking about underage drinking with their kids. The author discusses the prevalence of early age alcohol use in America, the risks associated with underage drinking, and the factors affecting the risk of developing a drinking problem.
"In the year 2018, the Internet has now reached a global scale of immense proportions; just in the United States, it is now in almost 99% of our homes. Thus, this influence raises the question, how far should the government be involved in monitoring the internet? With the most recent Net Neutrality issue, the government has now become tangled with constant debate about free market. However, because of society’s personal involvement with the network, it is my firm belief that the government should be involved to some minimal degree when it comes to protecting the people’s privacy.

Many teens in the United States participate in underage drinking. Statistics say that 11% of alcohol consumed in America is from people under the age of 21. In this paper we will discuss the negative outcomes of underage drinking such as health issues, long-term effects, and the effects it has on society.
Ninety percent of alcohol addictions start in the teenage years. Very rarely do teenagers live on their own, meaning that almost all teenagers go home at some point in the day to their parents. Anyone under the age of 21 that consumes alcohol is considered an underage drinker. Adolescents often don’t realize the damaging effects drinking can have on their communities, their families, and their lives. Underage drinking, besides being illegal, is a broad public health problem that presents many risks. Unfortunately, many parents buy into common myths and misperceptions related to underage drinking.
Pneumatic/air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered bt an electric or engine driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile reinforced rubber [1]. The air pressure inflates the bellows and raises the chassis from the axle [1].
All over America, families are suffering from their teenagers being taken over by the effects of alcohol. Teenagers that start drinking don’t know the damage they are putting on their bodies. Underage drinking is a rising issue in an alarming amount of homes. Drinking is unfortunately already a popular activity, but it shouldn’t be for teenagers because they can hurt themselves and others. The next generation of adults are in danger if they let alcohol control them during high school. While some parents can control their children or not, underage drinking is a problem everywhere.
Families can help prevent underage drinking by staying involved in their children’s lives. It is important for families to pay attention to what’s happening with their teens. In addition parents, teachers and police around the community should deliver a message that underage binge drinking is not beneficial. For example, provide programs for school and family, which motivates young people to change their perspective against alcohol and inspire them to focus more on their life rather than drinking.
The consistent use of information and communication technology (ICT) in modern world enables us for countless opportunities for individuals, institutions, business organisations and scientists, but it also raises difficult ethical and legal problems. In particular, ICT helped to make societies more complex and thus even harder to understand. The use of ICT has led to changes in concepts: ownership, buying and selling, right to possession, theft, justice in the distribution of resources and access rights. During the nineties, the internet has grown into all business segments resulting in a large number of questions running. It has been noted that during those time period there has been merging of computers, telecommunications, and media which is further emphasized by the emergence of new issues and strengthening old ones.
