Economy

Pick a firm with which you are familiar (you need not have worked there).  Does the firm attempt to seek a competitive advantage through a benefits position, through a cost position, or both?  What factors, in your opinion, motivated the firm to pursue that position?  What factors — including strategies adopted by the firm and factors external to the firm — protect its position?

Stasis Model

After you identify the topic you would like to spend the next few weeks researching and writing about and complete the library worksheet with that topic, please go to the USU Library and begin researching the topic and filling out the Stasis Model worksheet below, ending with a specific policy proposal you think will help solve the problem or answer the question you are examining in your research.

Requirements 

Cite credible sources using MLA documentation

4 pages long, 12 point font–It should read like a bulleted list, not a formal pape

Develop a clear policy proposal

Upload as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file 

 

The Stasis Model

The Stasis Model is a useful formula for generating a working thesis and creating a research log.  The researcher begins by gathering information and evaluating what is found, then working toward a policy proposal that serves as a working thesis statement for the Persuasive Research Paper paper. It is important that each question is answered satisfactorily and in-depth before moving to the next stasis. If you can’t answer the question, you need to change your approach to the topic or do more research.

Fact: What happened or is happening? Are there facts in dispute? Be sure to list all the facts that you currently know or that you encounter as you research. Make sure you use credible sources and only add facts, without editorializing. Make sure this is a very thorough list and that you cite your sources; it will help avoid problems down the line.

Definition:  How do you define the subject? Are there terms you need to define? This is a chance for you to define terms and “control” them. Look at Dr. King’s use of the word extremist in “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. This is also a chance for you to list all the terms and concepts that you will need to define for an audience that isn’t as familiar with the topic as you are. It is also important that you identify and define terms that are still in dispute.

Cause/Effect: What caused it to happen and what will be the likely outcome?

Values: How good or bad is it and who does it benefit? Again, please be as specific as possible.

Policy Proposal: What can be done to solve the problem or what are you proposing and why? This proposal should be a claim and several reasons that follow from the claim. Also, make sure that this proposal is viable, meaning that it is realistic, and that it is supported by the information above. If the proposal doesn’t coincide with what you have listed above, you may need to take another look at it.

Should the U.S. Convert to a Zero Personal Income Tax *****Already A++ Rated Tutorial Use as Guide Paper*****

In a recent news article located at http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/heres-where-your-federal-income-tax-dollars-go-f654971, NBC News reported that the U.S. Government spends $3.6 trillion per year to fund Social Security, Medicare, homeland defense and safety, education, transportation, and the interest on debt obligations. In spite of the services and benefits that the government provides, many taxpayers dread paying income taxes but consider them a necessary evil. Consequently, there is much debate about the inequities contained within the tax code, due to tax shelters and tax credits provided to some taxpayers which thereby increase the tax burden on others. 

Using the Internet or Strayer Library, research at least two (2) countries that have a zero income tax rate.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Analyze the way in which the two (2) countries that you have researched provide services and benefits to its citizens without collecting personal income taxes.
  2. For the countries that you have chosen, determine whether or not the U.S. could adopt their taxation model without reducing its total amount of revenue generated by collecting personal income taxes from individuals and business. Justify your response.
  3. Suggest at least three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of the U.S. adopting a zero income tax model. Provide a rationale for your response.
  4. Create a proposal for where the revenue would be derived if the U.S. were to adopt a zero income tax model. In your response, provide specific recommendations concerning the following:
    1. The proposed tax base.
    2. Whether or not tax payers at certain income levels should be exempt from taxation.
    3. The primary way in which the IRS would calculate the tax rate in order to ensure that the same level of tax revenue would still be collected.
    4. The primary way in which your plan will achieve equity.
  5. Speculate on the primary way in which the federal government could make up any shortfalls if it does not collect its targeted revenue from personal income taxes, and ascertain the most significant way in which the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through the IRS, can still adhere to its fiscal and monetary policies. Justify your response.
  6. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Examine the types of taxes imposed at the federal, state, and local levels; the federal tax formula; and the rules for arriving at personal and dependency exemptions.
  • Analyze the concepts of gross income and distinguish between the economic, accounting, and tax concepts of gross income and strategies to minimize gross income, maximize deductions, and minimize disallowance of deductions
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in federal taxation.
  • Write clearly and concisely about federal taxation using proper writing mechanics.

FOR PHYLLIS YOUNG

In Donabedian’s theory, it is important to note that the quality outcomes under investigation in health care are linked with the process with which they are associated. Thus, the researcher also defines the process and linkages to the outcomes in the formation of study design and data gathering.

 

For this discussion, you will:

Your initial post should be about 150 words. Use at least one APA-formatted reference, and APA references throughout the post as you use another authors information.
