Body:

· 1-Examples and government policies that illustrate my arguments. . "Documents show that Wal-Mart encourages its workers to apply for food stamps and other social welfare benefits. One study by a Democratic congressman found that each Wal-Mart that employs 200 people costs taxpayers $420,750 per year in public assistance.

14 Wal-Mart also pits communities against one another to garner tax breaks and other subsidies from local governments. Hungry for sales and property taxes, local governments are put in the perverse position of subsidizing the largest corporation in the world in order to drive down wages in the local economy, giving new meaning to the term corporate welfare"

· "Meanwhile, large corporations and wealthy elites exercise disproportionate power. Under the Bush presidency, the nation's energy policy was literally written by the oil companies and massive tax breaks were given to the wealthiest Americans, even as the budget deficit soared."

· Mention the idea of one who would disagree with you

The richer are not better served by the government because they pay high taxes that served the poorer.
