Sandra,
Interesting information! Should individual income taxes be reduced in Colorado? Why or why not?
2) Conrad Loyd
The benefit principle in terms of taxation refers to the people who use the goods and services provided by the government (Hyman, 2014). This means that the people that use goods and services provided by the government are taxed as opposed to the people who do not use. I feel that there are pros and cons about each of the tax structures. If I had to choose one I would choose the proportional tax because it seems to be the fairest. Some examples of proportional taxes would be income and sales taxes.
These two types of taxes are applied at the same rate no matter how much an individual or family earns (Bell, 2016). For example, the sales tax to buy a $2000 pool table will be the same no matter the person's yearly earnings. A person who earns $50000 will be taxed the same income tax as someone who earns $100000. The difference here is that if the income tax is say 10 percent then the first person would be paying $5000 and the second person would pay $10000 in income taxes.

Sandra,
Cash flow from operations is weak and not able to cover the debt. What does Under Armour need to do to improve on their cash flow?
