Topic: The government must collect high taxes from the rich to help the poor.

Please help me assess my essay and let me know the mistakes that I have made this essay. Thank you very much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are different opinions regarding whether collecting high taxes from the rich is absolutely necessary for economic equality. It is a widely accepted fact that it is the rich people who are going to invest and create jobs. In other words, the poor can become richer only by making the rich richer. Therefore, some people say that the government should not collect high taxes from the rich. Even so, from my every experience and observation, I strongly believe that collecting tax from the rich is necessary for economic equality.

First, making the rich richer doesn’t make the rest of us richer. Many people claim that collecting high taxes from rich is not the best way to increase economic growth. They say that the best way is to invest much of the government’ budgets on big companies and the rich such as Microsoft, General Motors, Nike and greater investors and shareholders. However, all of these ways for the rich has nothing to do with helping the poor. For example, although the government invests much of its budgets on big companies, they do not increase their workers’ wages and create more jobs. This is because the companies tend to cut workers’ wages to give more benefits to their shareholders and investors. Therefore, the government should help the poor with taxes collected from the rich.

Second, the rich does not have the right to refuse the government’ demand for high taxes. Nowadays, it has reported that there is nothing unfair about economic inequality, unless it arises without force or fraud, through the choices people make in a free market economy. Therefore, some people claim that taxing the rich to help the poor is unjust just because it interferes with a fundamental right. However, nobody can become richer by themselves. For example, Michael Jordan does not play alone. If he had shot free throws by himself on an empty court, people would not have paid a great amount of money to watch that. He could never have made all that money without teammates, coaches, trainers, referees and stadium maintenance workers. This is why he owes a debt to those who contribute to his success. Therefore, the rich have the duty to help the poor who contribute to their success. Thus, the government definitely deserves to demand high taxes from the rich.

In conclusion, in order to prevent our society from the huge gap between rich and poor and also to increase economic growth, the government should collect high taxes from the rich.

Hello Manashi,

yes, you post your essay in the same way, but it is easier to write it in a word-processing program (such as Word) then copy the text and paste it into the message box.

When you post an essay it is best to find the appropriate forum, then make a 'new topic' for the essay.

The point 'The government must collect high taxes from the rich to help the poor' is a diversified topic and is not a matter to decided right away. The Government should act like a guardian, care taker to its people.It has to eradicate poverty and at the same time support its people to prosper and progress in their own walk of life.

The point of collecting high taxes from the rich to help poor contradicts basic policy of government. High taxes means causing hassles in one's way to prosperity. In today's world where globalization, mobility are not distant things to a person or a business, any problem from the goverment would mean dislodging a person from that particular country. Generally,rich make the industries and money making businesses in any country.Business and commercial establishments account to the maximum share of the taxes collected by the government. Losing an industry or a business means losing livelihood of many people who depend on the company which would actually weaken the purpose of higher tax collection from the rich.

Instead of collecting high taxes from the rich, government can think of various other alternatives to increase its revenue.It can focus on the strengths of its geographical locations, natural resources and many other things. If the country possess beautiful locales, it can take advantage of it by increasing tourism. If it is rich in natural resources, it can produce many beneficiary things. A good government, a better governance and a strong will to support its poor people would help any goverment to reach its goal.

Burdening a group of people to help another group would impart a biased image to the government. A holistic development model and a proper functioning of all departments will earn the government credibility, confidence among its people. This
has to be the way a government operates.
