Ok so im going to try my best here because the assignment is missing from the page.
I actually disagree with the senate resolution to institue a E Waste Buy back system. As bad as that sounds i do have legitimate reasons for this statement. 1st, a 10% increase in the price of all electronics would be devastating for this already struggling economy. Imagine buying a 700$ dollar computer. on top of the 6-7.5% sales taxes included from buying the product in Ohio or other states with a sales tax on goods, there will be a additional 70 dollars added to the cost to allow us to have the buy back system. That could add almost 100 extra dollars to an already extremely expensive piece of technology. 2nd being a more or less out of sight out of mind type approach. These toxic chemicals are treated by people in china, on of our biggest rivals when it comes to economics. Keeping these chemicals out of the US would improve the nations health and assist in the lowering of pollution in the United States, which is already a very major concern in major cities such as LA.
