These cuts would reduce the federal revenue by an estimated $6.2 million in the first 10 years and would mostly benefit corporations and Americans.

Abortion is never an easy decision, but I don't want to imagine what would happen to women faced with these situations if their only option was a high-risback alley procedure with unclean and unsafe methods, a reality they would face if abortions were made illegal. pro-choi- 1 It is clear to me that Donald Trump is the best ce k, LGBT rights Despite the Supreme Court's landmark decision for marriage equality, the U.S. continues to struggle with LGBT rights. This can be seen by the bickering over giving transgender people access to bathrooms of their preferred gender and with the horrific shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Clinton strongly supports LGBT rights, even receiving the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaigh. Supporting Trump over Clinton is supporting taking steps backward in protecting our LGBT neighbors and friends. I refuse to take backward steps in basic human dignity.

It is absolutely clear to me that Trump is the better option for president. He is a successful businessman that will maintain the integrity of the constitution and be beneficial in digging this country out of the financial hole it currently sits in. Trump has the leadership and vision to make America employers. Trump has promised to repeal most of Obamacare while keeping the aspect of helping everyone to be insured.

For me, not talking about my 99 belief is God makes me feel as if I'm having to suppress my opinion. Both parties become constantly worried about offending or being offended. If people were not so easily offended, there would be no need for political correctness. tivity is spreading throughout the nation and every statement that pro- ceeds from our lips becomes predeter- mined to be unoffen- sive. It was the ability to speak one's mind that allowed the Founding Fathers to establish such a great country. What makes America so great is the uniqueness of every individual who calls this land home. Our uniqueness should bring us together and make us stronger, not drive us farther apart. The idea of beingpolitically correct is limiting Americans' right to freedom of speech and preventing us from coming together as a country. Political correct- ness dictates what can and can't be said in the media, and it prevents people from speaking their mind in public settings. It creates social ramifications for doing the very thing the Founding Fathers promised us the rights to. People should be at least considerate or respectful of their fellow human beings. If we all spoke to each other with no respect the country would be divided and all unity would be gone, but we should still be able to speak our minds, regardless of the words used. I love the ability I have to express my thoughts, so let's become less sensitive, America. I'm ready for your knives and pitchforks. |
