High Income Inequality In The United States

Decent Essays
High amounts of income inequality should be a concern for the United States because it can be detrimental.
According to the article by Huffington Post, “…in the U.S., 75.4% of all wealth is owned by the richest 10% of the people." This is more extreme than any other of the top 20 developed countries. Consider that most of the developed world has the top 10% own 60% of the wealth. The United States is actually quite close to the corrupt underdeveloped countries, according to the same article.
We don’t even want high levels of income inequality. According to Bill Gates, income inequality can interfere with economic incentives. Inequalities can create monopolies, which discourage other people to create their own business. Another issue that Gates

    The issue of Income disparity of the working class has been a prevalent economic issue, especially since the industrial revolution in the United States. In The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, he explores the exploitive nature of capitalism during the infancy of the industrial revolution in the United States and the struggles of the immigrant working class. While this piece of literature is a work of fiction, it gives a typical account of the abhorrent working conditions and the lack of policies which protect the rights of workers. This expose helped push legislation which aimed to protect the rights of workers, and strengthened unions. While this helped with alleviating the issue of income disparity, there has been an increase in income disparity…

    In Joseph E. Stiglitz's essay Rent Seeking and the Making of an Unequal Society, he talks about inequality and how drastic it has become. Inequality in society was made by the people that benefited from it. The inequality level in America isn't normal compared to other countries and even the past in America it is an unnatural inequality. This is very unusual even in a recession, the economy weakens and wages drop which causes the price of goods to drop. But now even with the wage drop, many firms are still making good money.…

    They claim that it is not indispensable for politicians in United states to be this much concerned about this growing income inequality as because of the obviousness in case of china and India regarding the inequality and economic growth. Now, their claim rest upon an assumption that different countries follow the same economic pattern. And while their research might be true for China and India, the same is not the case for America. The Economist in their article “How Inequality affects growth” argues that inequality has a great potential of impairing the GDP, if the lower class continues to suffer and have estimated that “a rise in the income share of the bottom 20% actually boosts growth.” [1] Research conducted by the International Monetary Fund and the National Bureau of Economic Research also point that societies which are more equal in terms of their financial status experience stronger growth rate, higher economic expansions, and are more prone to quickly recover from recessions.…

    Much of my concern about inequality can be drawn from above, but I would simply add the I believe inequality is both obviously bad for the communities it exists in, poor economic growth as a whole, and most importantly potentially politically destabilizing domestically and abroad. My background in political science tends to cause me to drift towards the political implications. But I also want to emphasize that I recognize the important human and social impacts of inequality - I see these impacts every day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Marquette University is located. It seems to be a destructive force in many of the communities where I have lived.…

    Wealth Gap: Why America is threatening Democracy The democratic ideal that “All men are created equal" is in the Declaration of Independence and is deeply rooted in American history. However, this ideal is not as realistic when looking closer into American society. For instance, the idea of equality is never actually mentioned in the Constitution. The United States is known for being built on freedom and foreigners look to it as the possibility for the American dream, but there have been many key events in history that show the fragility of civil rights and the reality of inequality in the United States.…

    The distribution of wealth in America has been uneven since 1970. While the unemployment rate has decreased in the U.S, the gap between rich and poor in this country has dramatically increased. As stated in Income Inequality “The share of total income going to the top 1 percent of earners, which stood at 8.9 percent in 1976, rose to 23.5 percent by 2007, but during the same period, the average inflation-adjusted hourly wage declined by more than 7 percent” (Frank 581). There seems to be a rise in earnings in the top 1 percent of the country which doesn't seem to be far to the rest 99 percent. Since when are the rich only aloud to prosper while the rest of us drown in debt and misery?…

    inequality becomes an issue when individuals are impacted negatively and start to feel helpless. It is when individuals are not able to afford things that are considered outside of their budgets. For the working class majority of their paycheck is put towards paying off household expenses. Specifically, income inequality is causing serious effects on the working class. Many individuals simply do not have enough to stay up with all the expenses, which forces them to take out loans.…

    It seems to me that ideally inequality of wealth should not be problematic as long as a basic minimum standard of living is met. But the reality seems to be comparing ourselves to others creates the human emotion of envy. Poor people in the U.S. have a much higher material standard of living than those living in a tribal rain forest. But the people living in a rain forest tribe don't have the abundance of material goods that potentially creates the degree of painful inequality we have. So I conclude inequality in the U.S. is not the problem as much as our inability to accept the reality in the difference wealth.…

    Income inequality is an interesting topic because it is essentially a two part argument. The first part of the argument centers on its very existence; it is similar to the discussion on climate change in that one side acknowledges that is a very real problem that need to be fixed, while the opposing side either denies that it is real, or believes the current system is okay as it is. Assuming that the overwhelming evidence declaring that the United States has the highest level of economic inequality of all Western nations is true, the main issue the nation should be focused on is how to fix this problem. The clearly uninformed citizens who dismiss the idea of income inequality completely do nothing to help find a solution because they believe…

    Income and wealth inequality have divided the United States for at least two centuries. Karl Marx a German economist believed that two classes of people exist due to income and wealth inequality the capitalist class and the working class. These two classes of people became ever more prevalent during the Industrial Revolution. Today, more than one hundred years later class conflicts still exist which is what Marx also believed was necessary to produce social change. I am choosing to write about this topic because I feel that class stratification is just as much a conflict today as it has ever been.…

    In Leonhardt’s essay “Inequality Has Been Going On Forever… But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Inevitable” Leonhardt explains how the middle class is suffering in a prosperous nation. Leonhardt is the managing editor of The Upshot, a New York Times site, and published an e-book, Here’s the Dead: How Washington Can Solve the Deficit and Spur Growth” (2013) based on economic issues. Leonhardt’s concern is the rapid pace in rising inequality, as the wealthy are affluent in capital gains, taxes, and education. I agree that inequality is a concern because living in a society where everyone isn’t treated the same in terms of wealth causes conflict.…

    Thousands of colleges, hospitals, museums, academies, schools, opera houses, public libraries, and charities were paid for by private money. John D. Rockefeller donated over $500 million to various charities, slightly over half his entire net worth. Since the Gilded Age the problem has actually gotten worse; today the income inequality is the highest since 1928. Now the United States ranks around the 30th percentile for income inequality, meaning that 70 percent of countries have a more equal distribution. Income inequality can lead to many problems for the country, such as less consumer consumption, since the wealthy have more money and spend less of it, also more middle and lower class people borrow money which can contribute to financial crises, and finally the wealthy have more political power, resulting in policies that benefit…

    In a capitalistic based economy such as the United States, it creates incomes that are small and large. Having an unequal amount of large or low incomes is called income inequality. Income inequality has become a major problem in the United States, increasing 24% from 1968 to 2012” (Cochran). The gap between the rich and the poor is growing at an ever increasing rate. In the United States the gap is measured by relative poverty, or “being below one-half the nations income” (Cochran).…
