Details

This project aims to conduct a focused analysis of taxation and its impact on local economies, specifically targeting the manufacturing sector, small businesses, and middle-class families. The goal is to understand how different tax levels and policies affect these groups and to identify regional differences in tax allocation. Learners will explore potential strategies to mitigate economic losses in case of governmental restructuring. The project will also consider long-term economic effects, employment trends, and public opinion regarding proposed tax changes. By applying classroom knowledge of economics and public policy, learners will gain insights into the complexities of taxation and its broader implications on society.
