The Property Tax Bill Essay

Defining the Problem Comment by Fischer, Kahlib: One paragraph. People often commit crimes and while only Christ can save people, the law made by the government can at least guide people into doing what is deemed right by society.

Moore, 178 U.S. 41 was a Supreme Court Case that helped define the meaning of ‘direct taxes’ providing the foundation from which to create things like general property tax that would be reworked in the early 20th century (Famguardian, 2017).
Can: Political Feasibility Comment by Fischer, Kahlib: One brief paragraph for each of these.

Three Republicans sponsor the bill. They are Rep. Patrick Tiberi, Lou Barletta, and Ryan Costello. According to the congress.gov website, it was introduced 1/23/2017 and may be passed because it is an amendment to an already established bill.
