Blog Post 3 (10/4)

         I think in order to make a better discussion about how my source makes an argument about class I need to know more about the past tax rates and policies that are in question now. This would make it easier for me to compare what is happening now with the past, and how certain things worked in the past. Some of our most important lessons are learned from the past. Knowledge about the past can tell a lot about things that are happening now. Another thing that would be helpful to know is more specifics about speeches and quotes that both parties have made. This would give me the ability to be able to use more quotes and reference certain speeches/comments made. That gives more substance to the arguments/points that I am trying to make, if I can provide quotes from the figures, as opposed to just talking about how they each feel in general. These specifics would add credit to my claims, as opposed to just stating them, there would be evidence showing that my word is credible. The problem with using one speech is that you miss the opinion of the other man, so I’m looking for a good article that has some quotes from both, so that I can have something that shows quotes from both men as the main source. Then to add to the support of the claims, excerpts from different speeches can be used to show how the men think. And also to show how they say one thing, but really mean another.
