Federal Budget- An Inconvenient Tax

Questions of the Day:  Where does government money come from?  What are different ways of structuring taxes, and what the benefits and drawbacks of these different systems?

Framing:  This is our last day of content for the federal budget before we go into party caucus tomorrow!  One final thing you could tackle in your legislation would be taxes.  Today we’re going to look at a documentary that talks about many different types of taxes and their impact on the economy.  Take careful notes!  Remember, if you are on the finance committee, this should not be the end of your knowledge.  You're going to need to do more research as you write your legislation to become well-versed in the specific area you choose to focus on.
