My Political Belief
My political beliefs mostly come from the opinions of my parents, which I have accumulated as I have been growing up. However, still some of my thoughts and opinions come from myself and stem away from some of the thoughts that my parents might think. I believe that American citizens who are able to sacrifice some of their wealth without sacrificing their lives, should give part of their wealth to the less fortunate so those people who can't pay for basic needs like healthcare and other costs of living. I think this because people who live in poverty are an increasingly harder time getting themselves out of this hole of poverty. So, in order to help these people and better our country, we should give part of our wealth, if we can afford it, to those who need it. Rights of American citizens, including health care and the right to life and the pursuit of happiness, includes many other things despite age, race or creed; such as the right to free education, to pursue the American Dream, to worship who they please, within certain boundaries, and the right to speech without persecution. These are all things people in America should have despite who they are altogether. However, there are certain rights that need previous maturing and education in order to earn. The right to vote, own property and be employed are all things that need to be earned not just given because children and people who aren't mature don't have enough intelligence to vote or thrive in a society because of their age or maturity.
