Since arguments and breaking them down is not quite my forte yet, I figured I would post something about a 'report', and example of something that is not an argument. This particular report caught my attention earlier as I was checking my AOL and Yahoo! emails.
"WASHINGTON — President Obama’s proposal to impose a minimum tax rate on those who earn more than $1 million a year was met with derision Sunday by Republican lawmakers, who said it amounted to “class warfare” and a political tactic intended to portray his opponents as indifferent to the hardships facing middle-class Americans."
In my opinion, I believe the rich should be willing to pay a little more than they have been with the Bush tax laws. It doesn't seem too incredulous, now does it?

I think you are on to something here. And it seems that you are starting an argument. Do you think that you might be able to support it with some premises?
