We Need Change
by Lane Sorell, Manhattan Catholic School
Financial stability is one of the biggest issues facing our society today. Without stability, many people will suffer.
Financial stability is important because people need to have enough money in order to get an education. Without an education, a person isn’t able to get a high-paying job and it becomes difficult to support a family. Having a good job is also important because it can be a source of benefits such as health insurance and retirement planning. A cycle of poverty may continue in a family where education has not been given a high priority.
I propose that the government should take action by cutting taxes for people that can’t afford to pay taxes, and not by raising anyone else’s taxes. I also believe that more shelters should be provided for those who are homeless and more low-income housing be provided for those who can’t afford their own home.
I hope that my suggestions would affect society in a positive way if they were put into action. Financial stability is an issue that everyone should care about and be involved in to help resolve
