Argumentative Essay: Is It Going To Be Paid?

1670 Words7 Pages

“And how is that going to be paid?” This question is asked multiple times throughout the day to and by everyday Americans. On November 12, Fox News Business anchor Neil Cavuto asked this very question to Keely Mullen, the leader of the Million Student March, a movement that demands: tuition-free public college, cancellation of student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for all campus workers. The Million Student March held a “national day of action” on November 12, 2015, advocating for their 3 key demands. To gain a better understanding of the motivation, purpose, and financial plan, Mullen appeared with Cavuto for a 9-minute interview to tell every one watching exactly that. The Million Student March pushes for 3 unrealistic entitlements to be offered to Americans without veering toward socialism and keeping the middle and upper class tax payers financially stable. The voice of The March tells us that the one percent of people in society are hoarding the wealth and causing a catastrophe that students are facing, and this one percent is going to pay for all of the benefits the students feel they do not want to pay for themselves. To be considered a part of the “one percent,” the household income must reach at least $521,411. (U.S. Global Investors, 2014) The taxable income rate for more than $464,851 is $129,996.50 plus 39.6% the amount over …show more content…

(Fight For 15, 2015) The claims made by Mullen regarding this component of her argument are seldom mentioned, because it is a direct benefit to campus workers, not college students like herself or graduates paying off loans. Nevertheless, the Million Student March stands by this demand and will also burn a hole in the United States’ job

  • 15 Minimum Wage Analysis

    131 Words  | 1 Pages

    The 15 dollar minimum wage is a commonly debated topic in American politics and is quite controversial because of its unknown outcome if implemented. Many believe raising the minimum wage would cause more harm than good. Those opposing the $15 minimum wage must attempt to convince upper, middle, and lower class Americans through the use of commonplaces, inductive logic, and a deliberate argument that raising the minimum wage would cause massive job loss, increased dropout rates and encourage companies to outsource production. Making an efficient rhetorical strategy to convince the target audience against the $15 dollar minimum wage will take different strategies depending on which audience group is being addressed. Through past attempts, the

  • William Warren's Political Cartoon Analysis

    622 Words  | 3 Pages

    In William Warren’s political cartoon, “Minimum Wage Spike,” published in 2014 by Net Right Daily, powerfully depicts Warren’s viewpoint of President Obama’s attempts to raise minimum wage from the average eight dollars to a higher ten to fifteen dollars per hour. Although the cartoon is two years old, the context of this cartoon is still debated and relevant because it demonstrates the effects of raising minimum wage and the effects it will have on employees. The cartoon contains an arrow that represents the hike in minimum wage, or as Warren refers to it as a “spike,” that is impaling through a man with a label that reads “500k Jobs.” William Warren effectively discredits Obama’s proposal through the use of symbolism and analogy that attempts

College should be cheaper as it will ease financial burdens and broaden the choices of those wanting to attend
