My perspective-
Of course the reason we have poverty is because of inequality. There’s a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The rich will always be “rich” from generation to generation because children who are born rich have the advantages. They have easy access to advance technology and able to receive the best education they can get. On the other hand, poor children don’t. Some people argue that people are rich because they go to school and work hard to become rich. That’s not always the case. Children from poor families aren’t getting the right education because of the school they may attend. These schools don’t have enough books or teachers. Poor families can’t afford or have time to waste to have their kid transfer to a better school. When the schools aren’t putting any effort to improve education or classroom sizes perhaps, kids lack “school spirit” and fall out.
When it comes to jobs, I think that a person that is already rich getting a job would be easier than for a poor man because they are likely to have more social connections.
I totally agree with you. Income inequality is a major problem especially in the United States. The rich will always be able to afford increases in their electric, gas, food, insurance, and tax bills. The poor cannot afford the same increases that are imposed on their set income if they even have a income. I think the Government needs to do more to lower the income inequality gap between the rich and poor.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It is pathetic that Americans working 40 hours a week for minimum wage are still in the poverty category. Something needs to be done to make it more equitable for people of lesser means to obtain a higher education. The Hope Scholarship program is a wonderful thing, but if a kid has to work through high school to help his family eat, they will be unable to get good enough grades to go to college. That is if the kid is able to stay in school.
