The Validity of GOP's Tax Reforms (925 words)

Imagine Smith and Marx are resurrected and they return to the United States to debate the proposals for President Trump and the GOP’s tax reform. On the basis of a careful reading of the editorials on the Republican Tax Reform in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, construct the following three stage dialogue.
1. Perspective. Present Smith’s support for the tax reform and Marx’s opposition to the tax reform.
2. Critique. Present Smith’s criticism of Marx’s opposition to the tax reform and Marx’s criticism of Smith’s defense of the tax reform.
3. Rebuttal. Present Smith’s rebuttal of Marx’s critique and Marx’s rebuttal of Smith’s critique.
In your answer you should refer to the editorials, being careful to note the different taxes and how the tax reform will affect different categories of people. If you wish you can present the critique and counter-critique as a flowing debate between Marx and Smith in which each responds successively to the other.
