It is ten days until the scheduled vote on the proposed minimum wage hike. The leader of the Senate Majority party calls you to offer a compromise. She has read your proposed alternative bill that would provide significant tax breaks on income from tips and gratuities. She tells you she is willing to propose your bill instead, and can get at least six others to do the same. In return, she wants you to drop your objections to the current immigration reform bill being considered, that would impose legal restrictions to prevent individuals from working without documentation. The immigration reform bill is not in the best interests of restaurant owners, but it is not as bad as a higher minimum wage. What do you tell the Senator?

- To address the immediate impact of the coronavirus crisis, Mr Biden has vowed to spend "whatever it takes" to extend loans to small businesses and increase direct money payments to families. Among the proposals are an additional $200 in Social Security payments per month, rescinding Trump-era tax cuts and $10,000 of student loan forgiveness for federal loans.Mr Biden's broader economic policies, dubbed his "Build Back Better" plan, aim to please two constituencies that traditionally support Democrats - young people and blue collar workers.        He supports raising the federal minimum wage to $15 (£11.50) an hour - a measure that is popular among young people and that has become something of a totem figure for the party in 2020, and a sign of its move to the left. He also wants a $2tn investment in green energy, arguing that boosting green manufacturing helps working class union workers, who perform most of those jobs.There is also a $400bn pledge to use federal…arrow_forwardIf the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking one year from now or five years from nowarrow_forward"We should impose a 20 percent luxury tax on expensive automobiles (those with a sales price of $75,000 or more) in order to collect more tax revenue from the wealthy."

- In this module we learned that, despite increases in the cost, the value of higher education has increased over time. How can college be made more affordable? Revenues earned by colleges and universities come from three main sources: Tuition and fees paid by students, which have increased faster than the cost of living. Support from governments at the federal, state and local levels. This support is paid for through tax revenues. Even private colleges and universities obtain funding from the government, but government support has declined at all levels in recent years. Alumni contributions.

In 1994 the federal government took in $12 billion from the present 24-cents-per-pack tax. If the tax were quadrupled to $1 a pack, Clinton figures tax revenues would increase by more than $50 billion over three years. Those added revenues would help finance the heath care reforms the president so dearly wants. Professor Gary Becker, a Nobel Prize-winning economist at the University of Chicago,says Clinton math is wrong. The White House assumed that cigarettes sales would drop by 4 percent for every 10 percent increase in prices, not the full adjustment of smokers' behavior. Over a three-year period, cigarette consumption is likely to decline by 8 percent for every 10 percent increase in price-twice as much as Clinton assumed.As a result,the $1-a-pack tax will bring in much less revenue than President Clinton projected.  According to Professor Becker, by…arrow_forward
