Income Inequality: It truly does exists
Has anyone ever taken the time to look at the lopsided wealth distribution that exists in our society? The lopsided wealth distribution that exists in our society has been around for many years, and it is referred to as Income Inequality. If people would take the time to notice the gaps in the income that is distributed within the social classes, its effects on the education that is received, the lifestyle, and the overall health of our society they would see and understand that Income Inequality does exist. The only question that we must ask ourselves is simple: What can we as a society, do to improve it? What steps can we take as citizens, to change …show more content…
For instance in the article that was written by Gregory, we are given three differing individuals. Harold S. browning we can assume who is a member of the top one percent due to the occupations earned by his parent's: Harold's lifestyle consisted of great education, housing arrangements, and great experiences.

When writing this document, I would say that in order for us to fix any of the given issues, we must first fix our problem with income inequality.
