Lowering Taxes is not Beneficial to the Economy
When taxes are lowered, the government has less income. When the government is poor, it cannot fulfill all its duties rightfully.

If they do not spend their money, the econonmy cannot be stimulated and the status of it will become worse. Therefore, lowering taxes hurts our economy....
The Constitutional Basis of Roe v. Wade
Listen, I am pro choice. I am not against abortion, I'm just for state's rights. However, I have done some research, and I have determined that the ruling of Supreme Court on Roe v.

The Supreme Court ruled in Roe's favor because of the Fourteenth Amendment's Section I (specifically the Due Process Clause), which is shown below: "Section I: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United...
It is time for the farmers of the San Wakeen valley to go to war with the federal govt
The federal gov't through the EPA has kowtowed to environmental extremist and cut off the water supply to the farmers in the San wakeen valley in California. It is the extremist argument that a smelt is becoming endangered because of the pesticides used in farming in that region.

Obama's Spending is Ruining America
I say that Obama and his cabinet are ruining our great country with over spending and overstepping their political boundaries. In the first two months of his administration he has put into motion bills that will spend trillions of American tax dollars. Yes trillions. To me that is unacceptable. He took responsibility for the country and he is not treating it well. In a down economy spending is the LAST thing you want to do. We need a few things from Obama. 1. Tax cuts for the middle class (ac...

Andrew Jackson should be removed from the $20 bill.
Hello. My name is Keenan Harris. It's a pleasure to be e-debating here today and my opinion here is that Andrew Jackson should not be removed from the $20 bill assuming of course that the proposition is that he should indeed be removed from the $20 bill, and now without further introduction I would like to start on my construct. Andrew Jackson, the mere mention of the name brings images of our victory of the War of 1812 at the battle of New Orleans. It brings visions of the great peninsula of...

Invading Mexico would eliminate illegal immigration, we can use the national guard to get rid of the drug lords, and eliminate large amount of drugs around the world. Not a bad idea if you ask me....

For this reason, I will allow the opponent to make the first arguments. I look forward to an interesting debate....
