You may do this either individually, or with the group you were working with in class today. Your solution should include each of the following:
- Your bar graph with 3 (or more) “bins”;
- A 2-4 sentence “opinion” as to who should be taxed to keep the federal government running; and
- A description of your tax policy, including the tax rate (percentage) for each income category,
and a computation showing that your policy raises the necessary $1.4 trillion.
You can have some fun with this, if you like. The “opinion” and tax policy do not have to be yours. What might Donald Trump do? Or Bernie Sanders? Or one of this year’s other presidential hopefuls?
