Part Two
1. How in a free society like the U.S., can a small group of people continually control so much of the wealth?
The United States is based off capitalism; Entrepreneurship is the backbone of the economy. Because of this individuals are able to fail or succeed based on opportunities they go after.

Yes, I believe based on someone with wealth, mental state they could try to persuade the school systems and the media to provide the younger generation with information that isn’t correct and will hinder their futures. I’m sure enough information would be provided to help the next generation only get so far in
