While much has been hypothesized regarding Omnibus Bills, it is of the essence to note that they primarily refer to laws containing a wider array of substantive matters brought before the legislature with the sole intent of convenience.

For this reason, the strategy behind Omnibus Bill is to coerce Congress members to adopt, vote, and enact laws that they may not support. An Omnibus Bill often introduces certain things in a bill, which the congress may not wish to ...

Introduction

Many nations use income taxation to raise domestic revenue. The income taxation rates vary from country to country. Australia is one among the countries with highest taxation rate. Australia uses a system of progressive income taxation in raising her domestic income. In this system, the tax paid is proportional to the income earned.

Low income earners are usually taxed at a percentage lower than 15%, while those with very high income are taxed at a rate ...

Petrecca, L. (2012). 'Supersized' drinks on the way out in NYC. Accessed From http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/13/supersized-drinks-on-the-way-out-in-nyc/57775970/1

This form of law is almost impossible to regulate on individuals considering that even if the supersized drinks are reduced to the 16-ounce cap, consumers still have the choice to consume more than one cup. A person may also opt to buy sugary drinks from the grocery and convenience stores which would not be affected by such law. To drink or not to drink is solely a personal choice. As such, a law seeking to reduce the quantity of supersized drinks as a way to improve health is myopic. Instead the government should endeavor to change the mentality of the consumers through ...
