Question

Political Science - Many European countires impose much higher taxes that in the USA and provide a higher level of social service, education and social welfare benefites to their citizens. In your opinion, should the USA move toward this model or should we keep the personal choice personal responsibility model that's currently in place? Briefly discuss.

Answer 1

I believe that USA should keep the personal choice personal responsibility model that is currently in place because that has been the essence of USA throughout and changing the entire model may actually cause various issues and discrepancies that may impact the current situation of the country. If we look at USA's model we will observe that this personal choice and responsibility has worked in a positive manner for the country and that is the reason the country as a whole has been quite successful and is continuing to develop as a nation in the world. I believe that this personal responsibility has helped the residents take up personal initiatives and fight for what they need to do and want to do because if that was not the case then the residents may have turned complacent and that can be the issue if the model is changes currently.

I feel that because of this independence and responsibility the country has produced some of the best business organizations that are not only best in their field but also may be in the world and I believe that USA should continue doing this which actually adds value to the nation and the world of business. If we look at the history of the nation we will observe that the country has actually raised from the ashes and when it had nothing, a colony of a different nation and due to this continuous development process the country is one of the most powerful nation in the world.
