Policy Alternatives: Article in Changes in Tax Withholding

Taxes, retirement, and financial policies are some of the most controversial areas of policy deployment. There are a variety of opinions, data sources, and expert reports out there on each of these areas. Therefore, along with all proposed policy, it is important that we can evaluate each policy. In this week’s lesson, we discussed the three primary and five ancillary evaluative criteria that Kraft considers essential in analyzing policies. Let’s put this information into practice. Take a look at some articles or resources on these policies. Please go the APUS Library Guide for Public Administration and Security Management at the following link:
Public Administration & Security Management.
Choose an article or resource that discuss tax, financial or retirement policy and let the class know why you chose this particular article and accomplish the following:
For your forum post:
1. Summarize the key points made within the article.
2. Now, select at least three evaluative criteria from this week’s lesson to analyze the points made in the article. For example, did the author address the equity of the policy and if so, what did they say? If they didn’t address it, what do you think the author would have said about the missing evaluative criteria?
3. Analyze the policy alternatives for your selected policy topic/article.
Note: almost everything can be indirectly related to taxes, retirement or finances. I don’t want to see things that are impacted by or things that impact fiscal, tax, or retirement policies ( almost everything in life is or does) but policy that is created as financial, tax, or retirement policy.
Stay on the topic of the discussion. This week, that is analysis of policy using the criteria we studied.
