Junior WSD Sample Argument上線！

我們(men) 以2022 Junior WSD首場比賽已備辯題④為(wei) 例給大家帶來正反方的 Sample Argument 為(wei) 備賽助力！本次Sample Argument圍繞首場“增收富人稅”話題展開：站在肯定角度，增收富人稅可以更好地幫助貧困兒(er) 童/殘疾人等弱勢群體(ti) ，促進社會(hui) 公平；而否定立場認為(wei) ，富人的收益來自合法的市場行為(wei) ，得到法律保護，增收富人稅是對他們(men) 財產(chan) 權的侵犯，本質上是一種壓迫。關(guan) 於(yu) 這個(ge) 問題，你是怎麽(me) 看的呢？

特別說明

針對辯題正反方各有一個(ge) Sample Argument，格式和內(nei) 容僅(jin) 作參考，同學們(men) 在備賽過程中可以進行自由創作。接下來讓我們(men) 一起來看看具體(ti) 內(nei) 容～

Sample Proposition Argument

Framing: Lottery of Birth

1. People don't choose the family into which they are born.

2. Some parents are much richer than others and this is not the child's fault.

3. The parents' wealth determines the child's education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.

Argument: More Equal Society

Claim: It is not fair that some kids have more opportunities than others!

Solution: Social Mobility

1. The government can use tax money to help poor people advance in society.

2. The government can finance scholarships for poor children to go to good schools and universities.

3. The government can offer services such as free healthcare and food stamps to people who cannot afford these necessities.

4. The government can subsidize businesses that give employment quotas to disadvantaged people such as the disabled.

Sample Opposition Argument

Framing:

1. Wealth gap can be tackled through more efficient welfare policies so that tax revenue is not wasted or corrupted. The Affirmative side must prove that all these efforts have been tried but failed.

2. Or else, it's just the government shifting its burden and finding an "easy way out", which creates more corruption and bureaucracy problems.

Argument: Respect the principle of property right

The need to help the disadvantaged does not justify the action to punish other innocent and hard-working individuals.

1. These wealthy people became wealth because they create great value for the society and the country, including new drugs, IT system, AI tech, delivery services and others.

2. Their gain is the legit exchange of value because we already have business law and antitrust law to regulate their market behaviors.

3. Violating property right is the state abusing its power towards individuals, which is essentially oppression.

4. The essence of taxation is forced labor, the more excessive it gets, the closer it is to slavery.
