Topic Proposal #3

For this essay, I am going to do an extension on "A Modest Proposal" the issue that I am going use is the economy and its current state. President Obama has his idea on how to solve this problem, but I am going to use my own logic to come up with another way to "fix" the economy. A large percentage of the wealth of this country is tied up by CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies, Professional Athletes, Movie Stars, and Music Moguls. There is no doubt that this economic crisis affects everyone, however, it affects the middle and lower classes more. Let's just have that upper echelon of society give a mere 10% of their income to the government and let them invest that money in the future of the economy of this country. We should totally stop buying foreign goods and produce our own products "Made in USA." Another major problem that has been causing this economic crisis is an overuse of credit. We should take away credit cards all together. Cash and Debit cards should be the only sources of currency that are used in the US. Credit is a good resource to use, but we have shown that we can not responsibly use it. So we should just do away with it totally.
