Regressive Tax Policy in Texas
Writing Assignment Part 3: Final argument construction – Your EssayFor this assignment, you will write a well-formulated and organized essay. Specific emphasize should be placed on synthesizing information and making well-supported conclusions. Utilizing the information from the Part 1 sources assignment and the outline from part 2, write your essay in which you discuss thoroughly the question being asked. The final essay needs to be 750-1000 words (3 to 4 pages), not counting the Works Cited portion. You may add your Works Cited at the end of your essay, so that you will have only one file document to upload into Canvas. Remember, I cannot read pages, so if you do not have Word, please upload your document as a .pdf file.There you go! If you put in the time at the beginning and I would recommend you take notes while doing the source evaluation exercise, and then complete assignment 2, your essay will be all but written up, and you will find that the largest part of this process is the quickest, if not the easiest. I want you to also express your own opinions and attitudes but remember your position needs to be backed with facts from the readings.While I encourage students to discuss amongst themselves these common assignments, I expect everyone to turn in their own, original work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated- whenever you are expressing someone elses ideas, words or positions, you MUST give them the proper credit through a citation reference. Remembering this when you are taking notes will make it easier when you are writing your final paper.The 8 Sources for Govt 2305 & 2306 Fall 2018 Writing Assignment topic of Regressive Taxation in Texas:https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/tax-cuts-are-big-texas-not-low-income-residentshttps://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Brown-Texas-has-a-revenue-problem-and-it-s-11091993.phphttps://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2014/sep/17/states-income-taxes-surprising-inequality-burdenhttps://forabettertexas.org/images/BT_2013_03_PP_WhoPaysTaxes.pdfhttps://www.texaspolicy.com/library/doclib/2006-02-PP-taxincidence-bs.pdfhttps://money.cnn.com/2015/01/15/pf/taxes/poor-state-taxes/index.htmlhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/taxanalysts/2015/01/30/regressive-taxes-are-neither-new-nor-good/#2940ffe45f15
