Review
The source is an Op-Ed source, written in The Los Angels Times. It is a compilation of various letters around the state to the editor of The Los Angels Times. The information seems authentic since it is being relayed by people on the ground who have experienced the subject. The source appears legit as there are no unnecessary pop-up links and subscriptions. In the first letter from Janet Henry in Santa Margarito, she states that it is not economically viable for the few rich people to pay taxes for the state coffers. She advocates for an economy in which the rest of the low-income earners can be elevated to a bracket in which they can also be able to contribute to the country’s revenue. Dean Katz from Hollywood says that in the Covid-19 pandemic, there is no need to tax the rich in the rest, as, after the epidemic, the wealthy spend their riches and diffuse them back to the society, thus stimulating the economy to grow. Domenico Maceri says that many people have lost jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the bushes are on fire in California, and thus the state is in chaos. Therefore, asking the wealthy to pay more taxes in such a time is justified. This source is useful to the research question as it captures the views of different people, and more importantly, the people are on the ground, then from diverse backgrounds. It is, however, not clear if their judgments are free from bias
