Investing 101

Stock:

This image makes me think of stock because it is always changing

Bond:     

It reminds of the fact that a bond is when you pay someone back later over a year

Primary and Secondary Market:

PRIMARY

Secondary

A saturday market reminds me of primary market because the thing being purchased is being sold

by who made it and at secondary markets such as a scuba shop its being sold by someone else

Bulls and Bears:

An escalator is like bulls and bears because one side will always go down and the other goes up

Selling Short

Stocks remind me of selling short because they change and when you buy them you have to eventually sell them to be safe

Franchise

Starbucks is an extremely well known company all over the world

Reflection of the economy

Option A

   Our government has continued on the same path as we were on when I graduated high school. From that result our national debt has tripled since then.I have had to work at two jobs so that I still have enough money to pay for my rent of my apartment and food as long with taxes that have to be payed every 3 months now.It's impossible to get a house now, even the rich can't get one.
   The president is always saying that it will get better but now even that has become a joke with everyone. Every day I try to save up money so that I can mabye have enough money some day to be able to move out of this country.We always used to talk about going to a different tax but people would always vote against it, I wish we would talk about it again cause I bet people would actually go for it now.

Manifesto 2.0

1. This is the way it ought to be for our government ought to be. Our government should provide money for things like medicare,army,and social security. Our government should provide less foreign aid so that we can focus more on our economy.
2.I support the way that  our federal government budget is spent.Our money is supplied a lot by our personal income and social security which is a good fund and we know that there will always be a supply of money into our federal budget.
3. A good amount of our federal budget  is spent on medicare, and social security which is good.I personally think we spend too much for defense.We should still spend money for defense but lower the amount some.We may want to put in more money for the other mandatory part of the budget.
4. I finished with a 4.1 trillion deficit. I cut away money on things like war spending and social security. I raised money for revenue and tax expenditures.For war spending estimates, I cut away 852 billion. For revenue I raised by 114 billion.
5.

I picked a bomb to represent my solution for the national debt. I cut away so much that my deficit was far from what it was originally. You could compare my cutting away at the deficit to a bomb exploding because when a bomb explodes it leaves an impact,and if my deficit was to actual become what we did it would leave an impact on our economy.

Taxes

Progressive Tax:
PRO:The progressive U.S tax codes makes it so that the wealthy must pay their fair share.The taxes are made so that everyone is being taxed based off of what they have.With progressive tax more jobs are available.
Con:With progressive tax there are a lot of loopholes that people could find a way out of paying the amount they should. Also we are depending a lot on the rich to pay their taxes for us to have money.
I don't agree with progressive tax
NST:
Pro: With Nst everything that everyone buys is taxed.With everything being taxed it would be an easy way to get money in to our economy.
Con: It might not be enough money to keep our economy to stay up if our only tax is on things that we buy. Also currently not every state has taxs and states that do have tax if people live close enough to a state that doesn't have a tax

The Big Picture!

Our government when coming up with our yearly budget should make a budget that will go into helping paying off our national debt. I think that we should get rid of the sequester. I feel that with its cuts, rather than helping the USA with our debt, it will make it get worse. With taxes from now on part of the tax should be put towards paying off our debt.

Also rather than helping out other countries with their debt, our government should focus more on ours.Our government needs to find a way to stop over spending by a billion every year.We need to find a way to stop that whether it's raising our taxes,or put in a sales tax for every state we need to find a solution. For me personally from now on when i'm voting I'm going to look at whether or not they have a plan to help the national debt

Manifesto Beta Version

Taxes- The goverment should try and keep taxes as affordable for everyone depending on how much money you have.If you have less your taxes should be a lower price but if you have more money then your taxes should go higher.
Regulation of business: I think that the governments shouldn't have that much of a role in business.The laws that are in place currently for businesses are at what they should be.
Social Programs: The government shouldn't have a role in these unless they are something having to do with the government.There should be a sort of hands off role with these programs.
Defense Spending & Veteran Affairs:The Government should supply more money than other thing because we need to make sure that our defense is at the best that it can be so that we are ready if attacked. Also the government should supply veterans with money especially if they got hurt for what they did for our country.
Economic Spending: I think that governments should not supply for this.If town are wanting to get more businesses for an economic growth then they should find businesses that are willing to spend money and take a chance on opening a new business.
Social Security and Medicare: The government should help out with these by supplying funding for them. The people who use social security and medicare still have to pay taxes so with those the government would end up getting the money back at a time.
Energy,science,and infrastructure: The government should supply money for this. With the research in science, scientist could find a more resourceful way to use energy and it could help save money. Also they should help out keeping up with the infrastructure in building because those are ways that we are getting money.
Foreign Aid: The government should not supply that much money for foreign countries.A time that I consider an ok time to give foreign aid would be if a natural disaster happened.Otherwise I think we should put that money to helping pay off our debt
