Greedy Government?

Purpose:

             My group’s overall research question is asking how much the government should be involved in its economy so that it is able to grow to the most.  

Beliefs:

I believe that the economy will grow and people’s lives will improve if the government becomes less involved in the lives of everyday Americans.  The less involved the government is, the more free a person  will be to spend, creating growth and new jobs in many sectors of the economy.

 Interest:  

               I became interested in this topic through viewing the economy and seeing how it has reacted to the government over the years.  This really interests me because I've researched the history of economic growth in America and have seen patterns of when the economy has grown the most .



Questions we need to ask:

1. How much should people be taxed so that the economy is still able to grow while some people are still able to get support.

2. Are there any government regulations that over regulate?

3. How do economists and people in general react to the government increasing taxes and regulations?

4. How much does the US government regulate compared to other countries throughout the world.
