One of the most recent trends in today’s world is the upsurge in fast food, which has significantly increased therefore the government should include a tax on that to promote healthy foods. People have a wide sprit of belief that this is a popular subject in debate. I tend to believe that putting a tax on that has more positive impacts than negatives and this essay will demonstrate with reasons.

Families who send their children to private schools should not be required to pay taxes that support the state education system. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Parents who send their children to private schools should not be obliged to pay taxes that support the region's educational system. It may seem unfair, but in terms of reaching financial equality between disparate groups of people and enhancing all-around education in the country, it becomes reasonable why they should pay taxes.

Some people opine that local governments have the power to control the construction locations. However, others state that the building choice is on our own, and we should be free to build in the areas we like. For me, I think it will be better if we have some limitations, and I will explain why in the following paragraphs.
