Today in class.
Today in class, we took notes and I'm not really 100% with what we're learning right now, mainly because I think personally, I'm not the kind of person that is interested in politics. I'm not interested in what goes on in the government, which is probably a bad thing because basically we're learning about how the government was created, and the decisions they had to make, and the problems the government has faced and how they fix those problems. We're learning about how the government is managing their flow of money, they're taxing whiskey and I think it's kind of mean that they put tax on whiskey because the farmers that can't afford much use whiskey as currency, so their "money" is being taxed. I don't think this was what the government should be all about, it should be about helping the people of the country and making the country stronger and having the people be more patriotic, and united. If anything, the government could try helping the farmers pay for what they need, or at least leave them alone, this makes the whole country look nicer in general and more inviting. They're trying to get away from the cruel monarchy that they call England, but it just makes the government look more selfish I think. They should rely on the people that can afford taxes and the people that can afford taxes should be willing to help the people that can't afford taxes, because I think that's just the way life should be. We're one country and we should strive to be good, well-rounded people.
