PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mark Sargent is Negative . Mark Sargent  a software analyst from Boulder now living in Seattle   is the primary organizer of the movement and has made more than a thousand videos.  He  believes Colorado’s open-mindedness accounts for its prominent position among believers.
Back in 2015  when  he  typed “flat Earth” into YouTube  he ’d get 50 000 hits. Now it’s more than 18.7 million  beating out Lady Gaga and closing in on Donald Trump at about 21.3 million.  Sargent  said  he  suspects millions of believers remain “in the closet” to avoid ridicule.
“My channel broke 10 million views in December ”  he  said. “This is my full-time job now.”
Sargent  49  became a believer after watching videos and realizing  he  could “no longer prove the globe.”
The flat Earth revival   he  said  can be explained in large part by YouTube  increased skepticism of authority and the message of hope it conveys.
“Science doesn’t even get their arguments out there ”  Sargent  said. “They try to beat us with math but people don’t understand it. It might as well be static  so they listen to  me .”

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Yutaka Harada is Negative . FUKUSHIMA  Japan (Reuters) - Bank of Japan board member Yutaka Harada said on Thursday the central bank had no reason to wind back its ultra-easy monetary policy as inflation remained well below its 2 percent target.

A vocal advocate of aggressive monetary easing   Harada  defended the BOJâs massive stimulus program  saying it was helping to reflate the economy and had kept the yen stable.
âSince the introduction of quantitative and qualitative easing (QQE) and the 2 percent inflation target  the yen has moved in a range of 100-120 yen  and appears to be roughly stable at around 110 yen â  Harada  said.
The BOJ should withdraw stimulus only after confirming that price rises have gained enough momentum for meeting its target   Harada  told business leaders in Fukushima  northeastern Japan.
âIf the current monetary policy is maintained  labor shortages will intensify further as the economy improves  and there will be a phase in which both wages and prices increase â  he  said. âIf their momentum is strong enough  the BOJ will start reducing the level of monetary easing.â
 Harada  brushed aside criticism by some analysts that delays in rolling back stimulus could destabilize the banking system  saying the merits of ultra-easy policy still outweigh the costs.
âSome people say that  because central banks in the United States and Europe are heading for the exit  Japan should follow suit â  Harada  said.
âHowever  it makes perfect sense to  me  that Japanâs exit should come later than theirsâ as inflation is still below 1 percent   he  added.
 Harada  said  he  saw no need to ramp up stimulus either  distancing  himself  from the view of board newcomer Goushi Kataoka that the BOJ should ease further to ensure its price goal is met quickly.
âWe would need to take additional easing steps if the economy is hit by an external shock and the current stimulus becomes insufficient â  Harada  told reporters after the meeting with the business leaders.
The BOJ has not reached any decisions on an exit policy for its stimulus program  but possible steps that could be taken include abandoning negative interest rates  raising the interest applied to excess reserves financial institutions park at the BOJ or selling the BOJâs holdings of government bonds   he  said.
 Harada  is considered as among those in the nine-member board who emphasize the positive impact that huge money printing could have on the economy and inflation  rather than the demerits of prolonged easing such as the hit to bank margins.
Still   he  has voted with the majority of the board including at last yearâs decision to shift to a policy framework targeting interest rates instead of the pace of money printing.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roberton Williams is Positive . "If you want  you can certainly reduce your taxable estate down to zero " said  Roberton Williams of the Tax Policy Center .
 Williams  said that the estate tax  designed to prevent the growth of large dynasties in the U.S. and to reduce inequality  does serve a broader purpose. And many wealthy families continue to pay  because "it's reasonable to pay it "  he  said.
But  he  said the amount of avoidance bolsters the argument by those who want to eliminate the tax.
"If you say that people don't pay it anyway  and you're going through all these machinations and tricks and lawyers to get out of it  then you're imposing unnecessary costs on society "  he  said. "The money is going to lawyers and accountants and not the government. So it could be viewed as wasteful spending."

SOLUTION:
yes
