The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

not a poor country. Peter Edelman writes an essay Poverty in America: Why Can’t We End It? which appeared on July 29, 2012 in the New York Times. He talks about the poverty, reason of increasing and the ways to get out of poverty. The number surprised me the most in essay is two because it shows the ugly picture of poverty as percentage is unsustainable and still growing. As poverty is increasing day by day and in the last decade has grown very rapidly as the poor got poorer and the rich got…

18th century, gin drinking in England was sold everywhere so people can get it without license so it’s affect to human health. People lived in just one room or if they have more money, they can have like 2 or 3 rooms. Their furniture was very simple and plain. Their food was only depending on bread, butter, potatoes and tea. If they can have meat, it was extraordinary. Industrial revolution in England impact on poor and rich people. It changed working conditions from a domestic system to a…

the distribution of wealth between poor and rich people ( elite class) in this country. I had always believed in this idea of meritocracy and in upward social mobility for poor people or the working class. I thought that with enough hard work, even if this gap can’t be closed, it can be reduced. But what I did not realize was how large and wide this gap is. After reading the book “The absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian” and watching the documentary “Poor Kids” I have come to understand…

growing disparity between the poor and the well-off is democracy: as equality steers further out of our grasp, access to acceptable livelihood becomes increasingly challenging, and survivability becomes a major concern once again. Therefore, until the empowerment of the middle-class triumphs, only then may the richness of the few benefits us all. Our…

farm workers to make this process possible, but we cannot find a way to help these same workers to enjoy old age. Many work their entire life so we can have whatever food we desire on our kitchen table. This boils down to greed, as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. As we age, we tend to gravitate towards what is familiar, our utopia or we long for “home.” For migrants, many go back to their country to retire or try to find places to live in the united States that remind them of home.…

majority it remains in their hands. This hurts the economy because if the corporations avoid taxes then ordinary people are forced to pay higher taxes while corporations and the rich avoid theirs. “Corporate tax payments now account for just 2.5% of national income, the smallest share ever” (Shah). If the government doesn’t get the revenue it needs from taxes it cannot provide public goods as efficiently or redistribute wealth. Big Corporations undermine democracy by avoiding taxes because…

become rich. I feel like if you want something in life and what to become rich you have to work hard and become educated on how to make money. The reason why there is such a huge wealth gap in the united states is because we as American some of us are very lay and want things the easy way and want handouts and we all know that nothing in life is free or is given to you. You have to earn everything in life and people don’t understand that that is why the rich will get richer and the poor will get…

book/story. For example, the Tesserae is a thing that only the poor have to worry about. Katniss learned this lesson when her father died and her family soon found themselves in desperate need of food. She then goes and gets her first tesserae in order to receive grain that can be used to help her family’s state of starvation. The consequence of using the tesserae is that their name is added yet again to the list of tributes for the reaping. The rich don’t have to worry about the tesserae at all…

unable to work because she had no one to take care of her children. She made just barely enough to afford rent and even then, her children went hungry, her baby had no diapers, and hot water was a luxury she could not afford. The poor only get poorer and the rich get richer. Families that can’t afford to pay off their debt will only accumulate more from the interest attached to the loan. In addition, college may not be an option…

Imagine the world where the distribution of wealth is revised between rich & poor & there is no differentiation based on the economic, social & living status .This revision would help to remove the evil disparity between the richer & poorer. But the current situation in the America is totally contrasted & there is a huge disparity between the two classes. The current situation is that rich is getting richer day by day & the poorer is still struggling with the basic amenities of life. On average…
