Please have a mini-debate. For the first student, please have a 3-5min speech in support of the motion. Do remember to analyze and define the motion and show your position since you are the PM And the second one (LO) do have refutation with the four-step method. Motion for you: Pop stars certainly earn their money. Option 4 The OUTLINE of the upper house cases of the following motion is given below. Suppose you are the member of CG(Closing Government) OR CO(Closing Opposition), write a speech of 300～600 words, making necessary rebuttals and extending the case for your side. Motion: This house, as Chinese Government, should establish the inheritance tax to weaken the transference of wealth between generations. OG: OO: Definition: Tax payer: the inheritor who is a Chinese citizen or permanent resident in China. Range of inheritance: all forms of property in China, including real estate, business, personal deposit, stocks and so on, the amount of which will be estimated according to the current market value. Exemption: each beneficiary can be exempt from the tax for the inheritance value < 1 million RMB. The excess part will be imposed. Proportion: 20 % of the excess part. Construction: Status quo: The increasing gap of wealth in China (10% richest people possess 64% of the total wealth in mainland China.) Many other countries in the world have imposed inheritance tax though the range and proportion varies. Current problems: The emerging class of rich second generation who reap without sow à luxurious life à waste of social resource à bad for nation’s development Aggravating unfairness à People’s dissatisfaction and disappointment à social instability Justification: Basic logic: Unification of the rules. e.g. A works hard à is imposed a tax for the money he earned. B obtains free wealth without work à doesn’t have to pay any tax at all. This phenomenon is neither fair nor reasonable under the same system. Benefit of the GOV’s proposition: Encourage competition àensure fairnessà ensure work motivation Increase fiscal revenueà reallocate social wealth in wiser ways à improve social welfare Maintain social stabilityà achieve common wealth Rebuttal: people’s being dissatisfied with the wealth gap doesn’t mean they are happy with inheritance tax, which is not well accepted yet. Taking the money from the rich and giving it to the poor will not encourage competition, but on the contrary, may foster many idle people who don’t want to work but live on government’s relief. Argument: Cultural background: ∵Chinese people prefer to maintain big families and are not used to dividing wealth among family members. They firmly believe parents’ wealth are also children’s. ∴ Inheritance tax conflicts with Chinese tradition. Difficulties in reality: Lack of transparent property record system àhard to identify all the property Lack of mature property evaluation system à hard to calculate the exact amount People’s resistance à making fake records à causing corruption Other possible problems: Outflow of capital and brain drain: In order to evade tax, the elite class may immigrate to the more tax-friendly areas. Impact on big enterprises: Some well-running private enterprises may suffer severe strike when transferred from fathers to sons.

One of the industrial giants who changed American society was Henry Ford. Born on a farm in Michigan in 1863, he grew up to bring forth some of the most revolutionary improvements in automotive technology in the early 20th century. His outstanding mechanical ability led him to become interested in the new automobiles in the early 1900s. Though he did not invent the automobile, he improved upon everyone else's designs. Ford's personality was not all thrift, efficiency, and ingenuity, however. He was a man who was cold and who could not keep pace with the competition due to his own rigidity. His company suffered because of his desire to maintain the status quo instead of meeting and beating the competition by changing his product. Finally, he saw that he must change or lose out; therefore, he introduced the eight-cylinder engine and once again took over the automobile market. Ford left a legacy of millions of dollars, millions of jobs for American workers, and millions of satisfied customers.
