Numerous governments create long, descriptive contracts to prevent many Americans from suffering the loss of their income. However, adequate people ignore the credibility and veracity of the contract that will risk their life and their income. Because of that, some people are forced to pay more taxes while others receive properties fairly. In two essays, Forty Acres & a Gap in Wealth by Henry Gates and The Broken Contract: Inequality & American Decline by George Packer, they both share the economic consequences if the contract is not fulfilled and how the contract affects American. While Gates and Packer offer many solutions to recover loss of wealth, voting participation is the solution to inequality economic because people’s voice will be

They both find a solution that explains the growth of the economy and how raising the minimum wages will help the people pay their debts and taxes through voting. For example, Packer argued that “inequality creates a lopsided economy, which leaves the rich with so much money that they can binge on speculation” (Parker 61). This explains that the solution to the economic inequality is the increasing minimum wages and government transfer will recuperate the debts that the government and business owe. Similarly Gates argued that people had “reverse the economic inequalities…greater voter participation” (Gates 50). This explains that voting will help close the gap between the wealth and the poor income in the community. In contrast, Gates’s solution targets on African American while Packer’s solution target on middle-class American. For example, Gate observed the differences in African American’s income “for clues about how to address an increasing entrenched inequality (Gates 48). On the other hand, Packer examined on the differences in middle-class Americans “after the taxes increase by 21 percent” (Packer 60) Both Gates and Packer believe that having enough minimum wages will allow the community to recuperate the loss of income between wealthy and …show more content…
However, only some African American farmers manage to receive their land fairly while others did not become unemployment and homeless. For example, according to Gate’s essay in Forty Acres & a Gap in Welath, some African American farmers had an agreement and paid the rent while others who had loans were “being repossessed” due to “the subprime mortgage debacle” (Gates Jr. 49). This explains that most African American farmers are not committing themselves to voice their opinion to resolve their debts. Nevertheless, in today’s society, many African American are still suffering from debts but they believe that voting will give them an opportunity to change the policies and increase their minimum wage. For example, African American workers were “made up only 11 percent of the workforce, but are 14 percent of those that would benefit from a higher minimum wage” (Hall). This explains that few African American are still have a beneficial of wage but not many of African American are receiving wage that they need to survive. With African American’s right to vote, they will have an opportunity to vote on minimum wage that will increase their income. While African American have the right to change their minimum wage from their past, middle-class American also have an opportunity to solve the gap
