Last year, we decided that we hold sunflower festival, make calendar, and plant sunfrower along the street to make Apollon famous. Government should pay a lot of money for these plans. They need a lot of money. So we should pay more taxes. And sales tax system is good because government can get much money easily.
・Alex
Goverment can use money for education. It is helpful for us. So, we should pay sales tax.
Opinions of disagree side:
・Rie
If we introduce the system, low income people must pay a lot of money, but high income people must pay less. And most people will come not to buy something. Goverment's income will less. He think income tax system is better.
・Rachel
The system is hard for low income people.
・Amy
People will come not to buy something.
Kate: What do you think about low income people? (to Anna)
Anna: The system is hard for them. So, we should introduce reduced tax rate for them.
Rachel: Clerk can't know who is low income people. (to Anna)
Rie: Sales tax system is not fair, but income tax system is fair. So, income tax system is better. (to agree side)
Anna: Sales tax system is better because government can get much money easily.
Amy: Our income dosen't change, but must we pay more tax? (to agree side)
Anna: We have a lot of national debts and plans, so we must pay more tax.
Rachel: Tourists will come not to Apollon. (to agree side)
Anna: We can make tax-free system or tax-free shops.
Audience: What kind of tax system does Apollon have?
Panelist: Apollon has other system but sales tax system and income tax system.
Audience: How much sales tax rate? (to agree side)
Alex: 3%.
Anna: If the rate is high, people will not agree. So, at first, it should be low, such as 3%.
Audience: How can clerk kow who is low income people? (to Anna)
Anna: Goverment should give something showing he/she is low income people, such as a paper. By it, clerk can know.
Rachel: Some people may move to another countly. (to agree side)
Anna: We must pay tax for Apollon. It is our duty.
Agree side: We think income tax system is not fair. (to Rie)
Conclusion: We can't decide which is better, sales tax system or income tax system. If we introduce sales tax system, the rate is 3%.
We couldn't come to a conclusion. I think we must find fair tax system, but it was so difficult. Our thought about fair was different, so we couldn't conculude. I think we should have ask audiences opinion more. It might be helpful for us.
You replied audience's question well, so you did good job, because I couldn't respond it. Moreover, your idea using identifiable card to show their income was so good and persuasive. But, I think now we should have compromised a little, so at that point I am sorry. Anyway, next time, let's make much better discussion with one another!
