Flat Tax or Flat Tire

I think that a flat tax would be best that way the poor are giving less and the rich are giving more. The website says that with a flat tax people would not get tax advantaged instead they would have to pay the normal rate everyone else would have to pay. So this would get rid of people cheating on taxes, the smart and the rich finding loopholes so they would not have to pay as much, even though money is not a problem for them. Most argue that this would be worse for the poor because of how much more they would be paying with a flat tax then the progressive tax right now. The poor are most that work minimum wage jobs because they have chosen not to continue their education and make more money. Even without an education you can get jobs now that pay more than minimum wage that you can easily live off of. There are many of rich people that have been born into money and a flat tax would make them pay their share that they did not make. Then there are the rich and the middle class business owners that would be paying their share of the earning they have made from there successful careers. Yet it is still a lot more that what a poor person would be paying. Going to college gets you a degree in what you need and also colleges help you find jobs. You have good odds of getting a job right out of college that is high paying and you would never have to worry about not making enough to support yourself or a family after paying taxes. That is why I think a flat tax would be best over the fair tax and the current progressive tax.

Germans and the Japanese

The Rape of Nanking was Japanese soldiers practicing fighting technics on Chinese civilians. They practiced bayonetting on civilians and also soaked them in gasoline and burned them. Women were raped then killed. Pregnant women would get their babies cut out of them. This is just as bad as the holocaust. But I think that what the Japanese did to the Chinese civilians is way worse than the holocaust. The holocaust was the killing of Jewish people by Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis made the Jews do death marches to new camps many died on these marches. Nazis also used gas chambers to kill Jews. Jews were also starved and worked to death.

Dr. Mengele and Ishii

Dr. Mengele was a Nazi doctor at a death camp with the nickname Angel of Death. He would torture Jewish kids by putting them into pressure chambers, test drugs on them, castrate them, and freeze them to death. He was the deciding factor if people that were coming to the death camps were going straight to their death or going to live in the camp till they die. All he had to do is wave his stick to the left. Dr. Mengele worked on twins that came to the death camps. He would sew them together, dissect their bodies, and try to change their eye color. He would also perform surgeries without anesthesia. Mengele eventually moved to South America but never stayed in one country because he feared of getting caught. He died 1979 from having a stroke while swimming and drowned.

Dr. Ishii set up Unit 731. Unit 731 is a biological warfare unit. It was called a lumber mill so people would not know what actually went on in the building. In this place they tested germs on people. There were no survivors from Unit 731. When Dr. Ishii was doing an experiment and needed an organ, guards would go get a prisoner and bring back the organ that he wanted. The prisoners would get gassed to see what would happen to their lungs and slowly electrically charged. In Unit 731 they tried to find ways the best treatment for frostbite. Prisoners were also used to test our weapons. Dr Ishii died from throat cancer at age 67.
