Before discussion
Rie (disagree) : If we introduce sales tax system, the gap of between low income person and high income person because low income person have to pay more. Income tax is more low-priced than sales tax.

Rachel (disagree) : It's hard for low income people to introduce sales tax.

Amy (disagree) : I'm a doctor and I know the cost of many medical tools. And they cost, so the sales tax of such tools will cost more.

Anna (agree) : Now we will hold Sunflower festival and  the government will need a lot of money, more and more. Sales tax is good way that government can get money easily.

Alex (agree) : My son is an elementary school student. Child raising requires much money. We can use money by sales tax for helping educate.



In the discussion
Rie : We have to save money by my self.

Alex : How do you deal with something trouble, for example, car accident?

Isabella : Now what kinds of tax system in Apollon?　―――Resident tax.

Lucus : Why don't you start 1% in sales tax?

Anna : I think 3% is good, if we introduce sales tax. Also We hold Sunflower festival, and our saes tax will be used for the festival, so they will pay sales tax.

Alex →Rie : You said income tax is not unfair, but I don't think so. How do you think about it?

Rie : The elder cannot afford to buy something what they want. Instead, we have to create new tax system which everyone can pay.



Conclusion
We should introduce sales tax (3%) or income tax.


My comment
Individually, this topic was easy to understand than last topic. We need absolutely money to live, and I think that it's important what we choose in our lives. Through this discussion, I could know their ideas about money, also I could think about how we improve Apollon by tax system.
