Does the government have the right (merely than just the power ) to demand a percentage of your paychecks as taxes? Why or why not?
For this week, you will post 1 original discussion post answering this discussion question and 1 post responding to one of your classmates’ posts. An excellent response (one that will receive full credit) will engage with the thoughts of your peer. Engaging might look like: asking clarifying questions (what did you mean by…), challenging the post (what about this case… does your idea work then?), or expanding on it (you mentioned this in such and such case but I think it applies in blah blah blah as well.)
