Identify Each Speaker That Gives an Argument for His or Her

question 117

Short Answer

Identify each speaker that gives an argument for his or her position in the following passage.
Republican: If taxes absolutely must be raised, raise the sales tax. Raising taxes on corporations or income taxes just drives businesses out of state, and that's bad for the economy. The net result is less tax revenue for government.
Democrat: If you raise the sales tax, people buy less, and that's even worse for the economy. Besides, the sales tax hits poor people the hardest, and they are the ones who least can afford a tax hike.
