Today in the beginning of class we went over the Europe map. After that we discussed the recalling of toys. The reason is because the dangers toys have the effect on children. They recalled many toys, but technically we should recall all toys then. After that we had a review of flag burning and the views of Democrats and Republicans on that subject. Then our next subject was gun control. Democrats are for it because the stricter gun control will help people and save peoples lifes. Republicans believe it is unconstitutional. We reviewed Iowa and they are not as tough when it comes to guns. Texas is not tough at all; all you need is a permit for a hand-gun otherwise everything else is fine. We also discussed how in 1973 abortion was legal which in twenty years helped crime rates, and also your more likely to die walking home drunk then driving home drunk. The next thing we discussed natural enviorment; Republicans are against enviormental laws because they are more towards the economy (businesses.) Democrats are obviously the opposite. Democrats are for the lower class and are more likely to spend money on them than the Rebublicans. We also discussed minumum wage. Democrats are for because they incourage helping the lower class. Republicans views are the opposite. Democrats are for universal health care. The health care bill is giving everyone affordable health care. Republicans don't want a system where government controls everything. Democrats are for giving higher taxes to the people who make 250,000 or above and love doing more programs. Republicans are for cutting taxes for everyone which helps the economy. It helps the rich. That's all we discussed for the day.
