Most people believe they know their responsibility to America is by paying taxes and obeying the laws that are in place so the country runs smoothly, however, most people are also wrong. The real responsibility we have to America is making it a better place by lowering the number of hate crimes committed, decreasing the poverty rates and decreasing our personal debt. There are no logical reasons as to why hate crimes are still occurring everywhere in the United States because we’re all apart of the same country and we pride ourselves on our diversity as a nation. The United States of America was formerly looked at as the greatest country in the world and we’ve let that title slip…

The new agenda for the new Republican Party was that the party realized they have been watching disaster after disaster unfolding in the United States and thus they had to come up with a solution for saving their people.

Although this may seem to not be as important as other subjects at first, the middle class plays an important role in society since they are the ones paying taxes to help the country. The main reason for the sudden increase in poverty is also because of the decrease in jobs, and wages. Especially since “40 percent of all workers in the United States make less than $20,000 a year” (Snyder, 1).

    From these studies, Banerjee and Duflo discovered that by looking at the percentage they are spending on food and other goods, stays relatively the same, whether they are extremely poor or poor, living on less than $1.08 or $2.16 per day. Taking this to mean that the extremely poor are focused on increasing their spending as a whole and not specifically spending on food (Banerjee and Duflo, 2009). The authors found that the extremely poor tend to save very little of their money, since it can be unsafe to store it in their homes and at risk of depreciating from inflation. By studying how people use banks, they found most people take out informal loans rather than more expensive loans through a bank (Banerjee and Duflo, 2009). Workers lack specializations in certain fields since they think it is a waste of time or too risky to invest all their time and money into one industry (Banerjee and Duflo, 2009).…
