Chapman talks about these sales tax holiday. I would not lie but I do enjoy having the tax-free holiday, I mean who wouldn't. A person would like to feel that they are saving money, but are they really saving money? In the article, the theme is that Chapman believes that even though we have a tax-free holiday we still pay the same amount of price (because once we pay it has to go somewhere else). Plus, also he believes that states loses money because of the “tax holiday.” Basically it doesn't help the economy, it worsens. He values our economy of course, he values money, revenues, business, and a hint of politics. In paragraph three he mentions that his friend takes advantages of the tax holiday because supposedly she saves money, while she buys her husband some new clothes. Which is not a fact and more of an opinion, but the gist of it is that most people do take these advantages. He also states that Florida Governor Charlie Crist goes along with tax-free holiday, (does that mean he takes advantages of this situation too and buy him a pair of pants?) in the article he says “I am confident this tax break will help students, families and businesses as they prepare new school year.” While some argues that it gives “our economy a shot in the arm,” as Illinois Governor Pat Quin stated. Meaning that it hurts our economy devastatingly, and we lose money and then revenue rises. This article was persuasive in an opinionated way, but as far as having evidential support, no. It is organized and structured, and it is very pathos. It is lacking knowledge and credibility. This article can connect with an audience, who is more towards of emotions. But people who is looking for a strong supportive persuasion, this article wouldn't fit in their requirements. He got his statistics down but other than that, Chapman should provide more evidence.
