Topic: Should we introduce sales taxsystem?
Moderator: Kate
Agree side: Rie, Rachel, and Amy
<Rie> Low income people should pay more and more, but high income family don't have to pay so much. It's unfear. So he thinks income tax system is better than sales one.
<Rachel> It is hard for low income family to pay sales tax, so such people may have difficulty to live.
<Amy> If we place tax, people may tend not to buy products. And she is a doctor, so when her hospital buy medical machine, it costs too big sales tax.
Disagree side: Anna and Alex
<Anna> The government needs much money, for example in order to hold sunflower festival, the sales tax system can get money easily.
<Alex> She has a chid and don't have to pay money for education thanks to tax, for example textbooks.
<disagree → agree> Both the rich and the poor should pay same tax even though they were given different income, so it is unfaer.
<Anna → disagree> It is good for both of them to introduce the reduced tax system.
<disagree side> Then income tax system is better than sales one.
<Consensus>
They can't decide which sales or income tax system is better, and introduce or not.

Today's topic seemed to be a difficult issue, and I couldn't understand some idea. However all panelists not only stated they opinions but also listened to each other. We couldn't get consensus but it was very valueable meeting, I think.
