There is major implications for Australian businesses who currently do pay operate tax and GST as they are the ones having to compete with the new Peer-to-peer empire. The effect on the Taxi industry alone shows the huge impact peer-to-peer companies like Uber can have upon the value of an existing industry.

  • New Look Policy Essay

    528 Words  | 3 Pages

    During 1950, in an effort to reduce military spending, President Eisenhower created the “New Look” Policy and developed the “New Look” Military in order to “revamp” containment and deter the Soviet Union from spreading Communism. Although this was his intention, the United States only succeeded in reducing the military budget, and did not deter the Soviet Union from trying to expand Communism. President Eisenhower wanted to perpetuate the containment policies that were laid out by George Kannan and the NSC 68, and his main goal was to deter Communism with the threat of nuclear retaliation. However, as the NSC 68 tripled defense spending to $50 billion per year during the Truman administration, Eisenhower wanted to drastically reduce the military

  • Proposition 19 Persuasive Essay

    560 Words  | 3 Pages

    60 percent of drug cartel revenue comes from the illegal U.S. marijuana market. As a result of the prohibition of marijuana, vicious drug cartels have been created across the border. The number of deaths caused by cartels have significantly increased so much that they surpass the amount of U.S troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. The Californian government is facing historic deficits that lead to factors which could destroy the economy. By controlling marijuana, Proposition 19 will help cut off funding to the cartels and decrease the amount of deaths caused by them as well as providing a new source of money for the government.

  • Prop 56 Argumentative Essay

    1993 Words  | 8 Pages

    In California alone, the number count of deaths from smoking has been increasing every single day and has not been going down at all. In reading a article I read that a Surgeon General stated that “ Approximately half of today’s 44.8 million smokers will die prematurely from smoking-related diseases.” Prop 56 will help California put the death toll lower than it is right now. The way Prop 56 will help save many lives is by adding a $2.00 increase in the tax revenue for a cigarette or anything that contain the ingredient of nicotine. When reading a map in Tobaccofreekids.com I saw that California was the 37th out of the 50 states that had the lowest taxes on cigarettes.

    During July of 1941, millions of jobs were being created, primarily in densely-populated areas, as the United States prepared to enter World War II. These densely-populated areas had large numbers of migration, specifically from African Americans, who sought to work in defense industries, but were often met with rejection and discrimination within the workplace. A. Philip Randolph, a civil rights activist and president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and other black leaders, met with Eleanor Roosevelt and members of the President’s cabinet. They demanded action from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to be taken towards eliminating racial bias in the workplace; they threatened to commence a March on Washington if an executive order was not

  • Federal Legislation Process Essay

    772 Words  | 4 Pages

    The federal legislative process begins with the construction of a bill, or proposed law, by an individual. A member of Congress must then sponsor the bill for it to be introduced to the House of Representatives or Senate for further consideration. Once a bill is constructed, it is numbered and referred to either a House of Representatives or Senate Committee which then reviews the proposed actions of the bill and makes amendments to the bill as necessary. Bills may be referred to subcommittees of each committee in which greater scrutiny of the proposed legislation occurs. Subcommittees typically involve the use of hearings and professional testimony to determine legitimacy and necessity of the bill.

  • Legistration Act Essay

    606 Words  | 3 Pages

    Debates have risen over the arrival of the new legislative bill that requires every super-powered individual to reveal their identity and register with the government. Supporters believe it is necessary for this bill to be enforced, as it will allow the super-humans to fight responsibly and put civilians at ease. Critics of the bill argue that it violates the privacy and freedom of the super-humans. Seeing that both arguments are valid, the Super-Human Registration Act (SHRA) should be implemented in such a way that it secures the safety of civilians by governing the super-humans and their powers, while also ensuring privacy for themselves and their loved ones.

  • Public Good Essay

    922 Words  | 4 Pages

    A public good is characterised by nonexcludability, one person using that good doesn’t prevent others from using the same good. Another important characteristic of a public good is that public goods are nonrivalrous. This means that an individual consuming a good does not reduce the utility of the same good to another individual. An example of a public good is national defence. All citizens of a country are protected by national defence, there is no way to exclude some from being protected and we can all be protected simultaneously without the value or amount of protection diminishing.

  • Public Policy Analysis

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    2.1.1 Definition of Public Policy Many theorists define “Policy” and “Public Policy” in several ways, depending on their objectives and on the direction of study and analysis. For example, Dye (2004) described Public Policy as what a government has chosen to practice or not to practice. While, Anderson (1979) states that the public policy is a moving direction and is set up to solve problems. In addition, Laswell and Kaplan (Lasswell & Kaplan, 1970, p. 71) define public policy as “a project or programs of goals, values, and practices.” Easton (1960) defines "Policy" as the authoritative allocation of values for the benefit of the public as a whole.
