...Misha: chapters 1 and 2 I really was not thrilled or interested in this book at all at first. The beginning was very slow and it took a while for the story to pick up, but once it did, it was good. This was until the end of the last chapter. It felt very slow again and it just described the living conditions she lived through on her own for pages. It seemed repetitive even though it really wasn’t. The one thing I questioned was how old Misha actually was. When she was put into a home for hiding with another family, she was given the identity as a 4 year old because she could pass for that age. However, when she ran away and had to live on her own, she knew exactly what to do and how to take care of herself in the harsh conditions of the winter break. I also noticed that she talks about her life of present day relating to the past. For instance, in the book she wrote, “From that time on I always slept with my shoes on. (Today I own over three hundred pairs of shoes, and I don’t need a psychiatrist to tell me why I buy so many more than I could possibly need.)” Throughout the last chapter, she did this many times. When she was brought to the home where she was being hid, she was put into a closet like room as her bedroom. She was expected to help out around the house and she could only do things when she was told she could. She was allowed to leave the house only once a week and that was to go get eggs and other ingredients from a man who they called grandpas farm. Misha...

...Chapter 1 27. If they get married in 2010 and file jointly they will pay $38,643.50 [(10% x $16,750) + (15% x $51,250) + (25% x $69,300) + (28% x $42,700)]. If they wait until 2011 to get married and Conrad files as a single individual he will pay $44,516.75 [(10% x $8,375) + (15% x $25,625) + (25% x $48,400) + (28% x $89,450) + (33% x $8,150)]. It would be to their advantage to marry before the end of 2010 because they would save $5,873.25 in income taxes. If they each made $90,000 and both filed individually, they would pay in a combined total of $37,818.50 = 2 x $18,909.25 [(10% x $8,375) + (15% x $25,625) + (25% x $48,400) + (28% x $7,600)]. In this case, it would make more sense to wait until 2011 to get married and each file individually in 2010 because it will save them an additional $825. It would make no difference if they got married in 2010 and filed jointly or separately $38,643.50 = 2 x $19,321.75 [(10% x $8,375) + (15% x $25,625) + (25% x $34,650) + (28% x $21,350)]. 28.

This illustrates vertical equity as well as a progressive tax system where each tax bracket pays a different percentage of their income in taxes – the more money you earn, the higher your tax rate; and, just because you earn twice as much as someone else, it...

...Chapter 1 : Case Study 2 Providing any form of compensation could be taken as an offense for thousands of donor families who have already made a benevolent choice of donating organs. The proposed legislation could also end up alienating families who have decided to donate life saving organs regardless of any compensation. Many may think that offering economic benefits, wether directly or indirectly in exchange for organ donations or assigning monetary value to the human body, or body parts, is inconsistent with our values as a society. The proposed legislation could also promote suicidal behavior in people who are in need of monetary help or want to help out their family and loved ones. By offering financial incentives, there could be an increase in crimes such as organ stealing and possibly murder for receiving money for the stolen organ. These are the few issues that this proposed legislation raises. Even though the proposed legislation raises the above mentioned issues, I would still support the the bill. Providing financial incentives for organ donation might seem like it diminishes human dignity, however, it could be something worth looking into. In the normal world, people are naturally resistant to things they are not familiar with or cannot relate to. Economic incentives might force them to rethink their options about organ donation. The proposed legislation may not deter people who believe it is wrong but, it will cause a large population to consider organ donation...
