Occupy wall street. This is the hot button issue at the moment So I might as well include it. The controversy at Occupy wall street has either been touted as a historic occasion or lampooned as a national joke in the media.On the issue I lean more towards skepticism when it comes to the movement, to me it seems unfocused, irrespective, and at times just self interested.
Issue 2. Recently Libyan forces killed the former dictator of Libya Qaddafi. The controversies here lies in a difference of viewpoints. Some people view this as cause for celebration and the end of a tyrannical rule, others argue that Qaddafi should have been brought to trial for his crimes and his killing prevented justice from being done. My viewpoint is that for the past months Libya has been a war zone. Many soldiers and rebels have died and I do not see how Qaddafi's life ending is more of a cause for alarm then any of theirs.
Issue 3.
Herman Cain proposed 999 tax plan has stirred up a lot of controversy. Some view it as a solid plan to raise the US out of debt while others view it as a partisanly flawed plan that only works on protecting the rich. Personally I think the plan itself has many flaws and would much prefer making the tax system simpler rather then more complex.
