Ms. Jazz's Serving the Citizens Blog commentary on Tax Exemptions

Instead of clicking on each and every blog, I decided to make my selection a random one. So I closed my eyes, moved my mouse around and landed on Ms.Jazz's Serving the Citizens Blog commentary on Tax Exemptions. She, in my opinion, makes a great argument when she states that all of us, college students, need a financial break.

It is tough as it is working while going to school, not to mention the extra activities a person needs to incorporate in their lives (hobbies, time to socialize with family and friends, relax, etc.) that a small financial assistance would really alleviate things.

She began her commentary with a short introduction that, instead of jumping straight into the subject, she tried connecting to the readers. She continuously reiterated the word “we.” I liked that. Her body consists of her personal experience and the negative results of the money spent for college. When she stated, “You can already expect to pay a pretty good amount of money for just one book,” I could not do nothing more than just nod. I am currently taking 17 credit hours. Coming up with the money was definitely not a fun task. She ends her commentary with the benefits of passing this bill. This, in my opinion, leaves the reader with a positive idea in their head, with excitement, and motivation.

I would have, however, liked to see a little more in depth explanation on the HB 20. I began reading, I got a little lost. I feel that this would have been a much stronger commentary and argument if Ms. Jazz would have added some background on the subject. It would have given the piece a more stable foundation.

This subject, in my opinion, is one that should receive a lot of attention. It is not an issue that is rare. The greater majority can relate and, whether it is the parents or students. Therefore, it needs to be addressed.
