express your current opinions about one part of the topic of "Economic Justice". Simply offer your opinion and provide a reason.
The government uses our tax money to provide various kinds of benefits for citizens like you and me; there are too many to list. Currently, our tax laws are such that wealthier Americans pay more in taxes- as a percentage of their income- than poorer people do. For example, a person who earns $1,000,000 in a year might pay a 20% income tax ($200,000) and a person who earns $45,000 per year might pay a 0 - 5% income tax (0 - $2,250).

Create a real or hypothetical question that could be addressed with positive analysis regarding a microeconomics issue that affects your household or your firm.
An example of a microeconomics question that could be addressed with positive analysis is:
“How would an increase in the Federal minimum wage to $12/hour increase impact the cost of childcare in the US?” An interesting follow-up question would be: “How will an increase in minimum wages affect decisions by working parents to use childcare services?” Microeconomics applies to these topics because they are concerned with actions of individual households and businesses and prices in individual markets (labor and childcare labor). These questions are not seeking an opinion, but rather seek to understand the potential consequences of an increase in wages for childcare workers.
