Diction Analysis: This article is ineffective in using diction to convince the Republican party to lower taxes on the lower class. Republicans favor a small "deficit"because they are not considered lower class. People of the lower class already struggle to pay their bills so why would you raise their taxes.You are in a position where you can get away with not paying your taxes like Trump ,but that doesn't mean you will get away with it forever.Republicans "top priority is to reduce taxes on the affluent".This seems a little shady to me.Leave the lower class in a bigger debt than they are already in and leave the rich even richer.That situation needs to be the other way around because they do not stand parallel to one another. Precis: David in the article,The Betrayal of Fiscal Conservatism explains how republicans are making lower class lives opaque. David supports his claim by first analyzing the fact that republicans top priority is the federal government balance sheet.He then illustrates how the resolution would add $9 trillion in debt over the next decade. Lastly,the author challenges you to to be very skeptical about when people use fiscal conservatism. David's purpose is to convince republicans to raise taxes on the rich and support the lower class more so that we can be equal in the way that we are living.The author writes in a cautious tone for the citizens of the lower income.This work is significant because some people don't know why money is the root of all evil but now they should know. Money can make people act irrational and the republicans act that way.
