Death Penalty and Why it is Wrong

The death penalty is one of the most contentious issues in the United States, and many

people support it. On the other hand, the death penalty is absolutely unjust. The expenditure of

tax dollars and unnecessarily large quantities of resources to execute someone all hurt the general

public. Why is the death penalty so bad and why does it hurt the general public? It hurts the

general public in many different ways and it is also hurting the economy. In the end, the death

penalty is wrong in many different ways and it hurts people in so many different ways. So should

the death penalty in the United States be supported? Or should it be one of those topics that

should not be a topic at all? Research shows that the death penalty should not be supported and

should not be real.’

First of all, one of the reasons that the death penalty is wrong is because it uses tax

money. It uses a lot of tax money and especially the tax money of the common people. What is

meant by common people is that of the people of low-income families and middle-class families.
