TOTD:You’ve heard of people rebelling over

oppression, high state taxes & unjust rulers, but whiskey? In 1794, a group of Pennsylvania farmers did just that: rebelled over the drink. What motivated them? Were they justified in rebelling?

FINANCIAL DEBATE

-nation had large war debt – Revolutionary War

-Alexander Hamilton’s plan (HAM’S PLAN)

1.-tariff – taxes on imported goods could contribute to paying debt and excise taxes on Whiskey

2.-pay all debts – using bonds

3.-national bank system – ex. of Strong Central Government

-transform Amer. into industrial economy

-debate over power to create a national bank – no right given in the constitution

-implied powers? (loose interpretation)

WE R BROKE and I think tariff’s are awesome…

YOLO!

I am Washington’s

Sec. of Treasury, I know what I’m talking

about… Jefferson’s

stupid.

The country is in debt…It has been for a while now.

Imagine that Barack Obama is coming out with a new policy to tax the use of Facebook/Twitter and text messaging as a way to better stabilize the economy.

There will be a $2.00 surcharge every week for the use of Facebook/Twitter.

Additionally, every text message that surpasses 100 will be taxed 5 cents.

1. Do you think this is a good plan? Will this help our economy? Why or why not?

2. What would be the repercussions for such actions?
