The Class Gap

Increasingly across America, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer, and it is almost coming to a point to where we no longer have a three-class country, consisting of upper, middle, and lower, but rather a two-class country, that is the rich,and the poor. In politizan’s video on the wealth gap in America he is quoted assaying “the one percent of American has over forty percent of the nation’s wealth.” That is absurd. How so few people make so much money, even if it is rightfully earned through hard work, and just horde it is disgusting. It is clear trickle down economics don’t work as if they did, then “The bottom eighty percent shar(ing) seven percent (of the wealth)” would not be the reality we face (“Wealth Inequality in America”). If trickle down economics worked as intended, then the rich would be spending the trillions they make. But that is not what they are doing. The rich use their money to get richer, and most of the time this is at the expense of the already struggling poor. We as a society cannot continue living like this. The proles must realize that the system is broken in America, and that they can topple it and set things right.It is the right thing to do. As citizens it is the proles duty to rise against this severe injustice and set things right for everyone. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and it is the proles duty as citizens to do what they can to stop this.
