My Perfect Utopia

Gregory: Describe what Utopia would look like and why.

My utopia would actually be today's America with a few minor changes. I would certainly keep the system of government that we have at the moment, but I believe that some of the other systems that America has in place are very unnecessary. The first system that I would abolish as President would be welfare(I will explain this later). The second change that I would make would be lowering taxes substantially(I will also explain how this will work). The last change that I would implement would be to give business more control over their actual business. By this I mean that they can hire who they want to hire, serve who they serve, and not be withheld by government restrictions.

Abolishing welfare and lowering taxes are two things that go hand in hand. Once business taxes are lowered, then employee wages will rise. This will then cause the need for welfare to go down. People will then have to stop depending on the government. The governments job is to give the opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not giving away money. This would be my utopia as it would garuntee a future in which the splendors of capitalism can be harvested.

America's Gun Problem, Explained (Not Really, and I Actually Explain Why)

I chose an article from Vox. Vox has been known to many as a reliable news source and has been cited by multiple politicians is the end all be all of news sources. The article which is titled America's gun problem, explained , attempts to give a large number of statistics and then links these "facts" together to form a statement (I will come to this statement later). There is also a video from Vox that accompanies the article, and I will include all of the facts and statements that they make there into this blog. The first claim that Vox makes is that America's gun problem is completely unique compared to the rest of the developed world. They do this by comparing homicide rates between countries (in the article) and by comparing mass shooting occurrences between countries (in the video). After this claim, they then go on to claim that more guns means more death. They even show an entire chart of all of the states and shows that a larger percentage of legal gun owner...
